City Gazette of Charleston, 7 Dec 1799, pg. 3, "Died, at Cadiz, on the 24th of September last, Michael Morphy, esq. Consul of the United States at the port of Malaga, where he was on a visit to his son, John Morphy esq. an opulent and respectable merchant in that city - much regretted by his family and friends at home, and in this country. In his death, the United States have lost one of her most faithful and upright servants, zealously attached to the government of America, and to their citizens, (who frequented that port) a true friend and protector. It is well known to many, that for a long time previous to the appointment of an American consul, he rendered every service in his power to all masters of vessels trading to that place, and likewise to all American gentlemen, travellers; at which time he had the honor to serve as Vice-Consul to his Britannic Majesty, in which office he was continued for many years, and until the last rupture between Spain and Great Britain."
