Elizabeth Murphy

Elizabeth Murphy was born in Ireland on or about 16 May 1844. The place of her birth in Ireland is unknown. She married Michael Early on 9 January 1862 at Lake City, Wabasha County, Minnesota. They homesteaded their land in Moody County, South Dakota about 1881. Elizabeth was the mother of 13 children, 10 of them were born in Minnesota and 3 of them were born in Moody county, South Dakota. Elizabeth (Murphy) Early died on 7 June 1902 at Moody county, South Dakota and was buried in Saint Simon and Jude Catholic Cemetery at Flandreau, South Dakota. I would like to get in touch with anyone who has information on where Elizabeth Murphy was born and the names of her parents and siblings.

Hi Jim:  

Thank you for your post to the `Ireland Reaching Out message board.  I would recommend that you create an Ancestor profile for Elizabeth and put it on the XOChronicles (located at the top of this page).  Ancestor profiles are a great way to find out further information as often other members will be searching for the same family as you and you may be able to share and collaborate with one another.  

If you have a death certificate or a marriage record for Elizabeth, it might list her parents' names and even a county of birth.  That would be a big clue for trying to find out more information.  You can add the information to this thread if you like.  If you have any questions, please let me know.  

All the best,  

Jane
