Mary was born about 1820. Mary Murphy immigrated with family in 1848 She passed away in 1870.
Cooper co. Records and grave stone, catholic cemetery Boonville mo. Multiple legal records and papers from her work with father Anthony and brother Doyle Murphy both attorneys. An invitation to a party in 1836 with an address and a return address, letters to and from her sister Mrs. Cadigan at Greenville mill, now a restaurant. It appears she was the "brains of the outfit" ! With multiple suitors. During the civil war she was a nurse, working in central Missouri, and as far away as Springfield Il. After a large battle there, gave flowers to the northern officers when they marched thru Boonville! Gave political comment when possible. MAny of her legal papers and personal letters still exist with references to family and clients for the legal work and property rental in Ireland done by her family. Quite a lady! I have no doubt, that Mary was the biggest single contributor to the Barron family and their success. With Her legal background in Ireland, she guided the family thru the business of running a mill which she had learned with her sister in Greenville Ireland, helped finance her sons farm down payment, Her letters all through the civil war to her family and friends showed a strong hand and gave good advice. I have no photograph of her though letters mention one, just after the civil war. Should anyone have any photographs , paintings, I dearly would love a copy! her father Anthony and brother Doyle were well known in Wexford, and Dublin both being attorneys, and I am hoping this might ring a bell with someone!
