Notes:

Thomas Good Murphy is buried in the Waite Cemetery on Telephone Road, west of Brighton, Ontario.

According to Eliza Cooper (daughter of Lawrence), her uncle Thomas was quite wealthy, and one of the sons was well educated and taught at the Wellington School (circa 1870 or thereabouts).
I have learned that his great-grandson - Louis Carrol Murphy (1902-1971) was a Teacher. An L.C. Murphy is mentioned as a teacher at Wellington.

Thomas was married by the Rev. J.C. Davidson at the Methodist Church in Picton, Ontario to Martha Susan Bull.
The witnesses were Charles H. Bull & wife Lydia Saretta Converse (brother to the bride). At the time of marriage, Thomas and his bride-to-be were living in Hallowell Twp.

It is believed that Thomas went searching for property in Northumberland County in 1839 as Martha's parents had earlier migrated there in the previous decade.
Martha's three youngest brothers - Charles Henry, Amos Jr., and John moved to Warkworth and bought adjoining farms on or around 1839.

The 1842 Census for Percy Twp lists a Thomas G. Murphy as residing at Lot 12 on Concession 2. The Land Records show that Thomas purchased the South part of Lot 12 on October 28, 1839 from Stephen & John Dingman, the property consisting of 100 acres. This property is near the town of Warkworth.
Thomas is listed at this location through th 1842, 1848, 1850, and 1851 Census for Percy Twp. Thomas sold the property on October 17, 1853 to Ephriam Doolittle and he moved to Cramahe Township.

It is interesting to note that Thomas' mother Deborah was living in Percy Twp, near Warkworth from 1842 to 1849 !!!

Thomas purchased Lot 12 - Conc. 4 - Cramahe Twp in 1853 from the Waite Family.
This property consisted of 200 acres. Eventually he acquired the following properties in Cramahe Twp:
Conc. 5 - Lot 22 - 200 acres
Conc. 2 - Lot 12 - 100 acres

The following words are taken from a letter written by Irene Murphy, Granddaughter of Amos & Sarah Murphy - Great-Grandaughter of Thomas) in September 1873:
" Thomas G. Murphy walked 45 miles from Prince Edward County to take up land near Warkworth. It was too far from the front, so he came down and bought land from the Waite Family (about 1853) and settled there near Brighton. That was too far back for Thomas, so he bought land and built where the "brick house" is. This house was built about 1873 or thereabouts. That was still too far from the front for him, so he bought the house in Brighton (believe that he enjoyed it very much until they got too old to look after and he went back to the country)."

Another piece of information that was included in a letter written by Irene Murphy, is that the initial "G" in Thomas name, stood for Good. He apparently decided to revert his surname back to Murphy from Goodmurphy, but kept the "Good"' through his middle initial --- Thomas G. Murphy !!!

THOMAS married MARTHA SUSAN BULL on 5 Feb 1838 in Picton, Hallowell Twp, Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. MARTHA (daughter of AMOS BULL and MARTHA CUNNINGHAM) was born on 5 Jan 1818 in Hallowell Township, Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada; died on 17 Apr 1904 in Brighton, Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Martha Susan Bull was the youngest daugther of Amos Bull and Martha Cunningham.
Her father was the 2nd son of Josiah Bull and Mehetabel Thomas, who had migrated to Ontario, Canada from Dutchess County in Uppper New York State.

The Cunningham family also migrated from Dutchess County to Prince Edward County, originally coming from Ireland. They settled near West Lake.

Amos was born in Dutchess County and it is believed that his 1st child, Abigail was born there, then the next 10 children were born in Hallowell Twp.
The last 2 children (Martha and John) were believed to have been born in Percy Twp.

The Bull family were Quakers, and went "Hicksite" in 1828, that is, they split from the Orthodox Quakers !!

It is estimated that Amos died between 1823 and 1829. Amos' wife, Martha died on January 23, 1842 in Hallowell Twp, and one could presume that she was
at the Cunningham Homestead near West Lake at the time of her death.

Martha Susan's older brother - William Cunningham Bull married Jane Clark.
Jane Clark's sister Susan married John C. Goodmurphy (Thomas's older brother) and her other sister Elizabeth married Cecil Reynolds, grandfather to
Henrietta and Lillie Belle Reynolds, who married sons of Solomon Goodmurphy.

Amos Bull's younger sister, Mehetabel Bull, married a John Cooper, whose son, Obadiah Cooper married a Rebecca Burlingham, and their daughter Delilah Jane
married John Goodmurphy, son of Lawrence, and Renselaer Cooper married Eliza Goodmurphy, youngest daughter of Lawrence Goodmurphy.
The Coopers were another well-known Quaker family that relocated from Dutchess County to settle in Bloomfield, Ontario.
