Catherine Murphy was born about 1817.  She is the daughter of John Murphy and Catherine (maiden name unknown to me).  She married John Conway from around 1830/1 possibly in Kilmihil.  Their children were 

1. Michael born around 1832, died 29 May 1904 in Iowa

2. Patrick baptized 15 Dec 1833 in Kilmaley, died 29 Mar 1902 in Wisconsin

3. Hanna baptized Oct 1835, died after 1905 in New Jersey

4. John baptized 25 Feb 1838 in Kilmaley, died before 1902

5. Timothy baptized 14 Feb 1839 in Kilmaley (his name has been indexed/transcribed as Kitty because the writing is very faint and the most legible is the "thy at the end), died 26 Aug 1921 in Washington

6. Dennis baptized 26 May 1842 in Kilmaley, died 7 May 1891 in Rhode Island

7. Mary baptized 26 Oct 1844 in Kilmaley, died before 1902

8. Bridget baptized 10 Oct 1847 in Kilmaley, died after 1915

The family all eventually immigrated to the United States.  Catherine Murphy died 19 Jan 1889 in New Jersey and her husband died 12 Jan 1860 in Wisconsin
