Biography
William Murfey ( no “r”) first appears on 20 April 1682 patenting 200 acres in Isle of Wight County adjacent to Edward Perkins.1 He was probably related to Perkins in some way, as Edward Perkins’ will of 1686 named “William Murphry, Senr.” executor and left him all of Perkins’ land with reversion to his son William Murphry Jr.2 He also made bequests to “Margaret Murphry, daughter to William Murphry” and to “Mikill Murphry”, both of whom were apparently adults. (There were two legacies to Margaret Murphry, and it is not clear if the will refers to one person or two.)[1]
