• Notes

  Before William Murphy married Zillah, she was with child. He married her anyway and before the child was born, he came up missing. He spent a few years in Charlotte, North Carolina, driving a stage, where he had a son, James, by Nancy Fagin (illegitimate). He returned to his wife, they forgave one another and each accepted the children and raised them as their own bload. ---------- Reference: "Kinfolk, Ownbey Family Lines of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina", p 27.
