Murphy and they had 3 children, Charles K, Mary I, and Emma A. Emma married Lewellyn L Sloan and they had one child - Elnora.<br /><br />Charles K. Murphy (Sr) died between 1870 and 1880. Lucy Murphy is listed as widow on the 1880 census.<br /><br />She married Nathaniel Seevy Post prior to the 1900 census where she is once again listed as widow.<br /><br />...<br /><br />Willis A. Post is the son of Nathaniel Seevy Post. Nathaniel first married Martha A. Hill and they had at least 7 children. Martha died 21 Sep 1887. Nathaniel then married Elnora's grandmother, Lucy.<br /><br />So Elnora didn't really marry her uncle, just her step-grandfather's son.Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03559847090671071342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4369519054620493278.post-28577491709229293142012-01-24T21:19:16.167-05:002012-01-24T21:19:16.167-05:00I must have been looking at the wrong newspapers t...I must have been looking at the wrong newspapers this weekend!
