Notes:

The Birth Records for Prince Edward County show that Joel was born on October 15, 1871 not October 14, 1872. Also the Birth Notice states that the parents were living on a farm in Sophiasburg twp.
According to Charles Goodmurphy, his father Joel was born in a little red house situated at the NW corner of the Gilead and Town Line Roads. The house sat on a 30 acre parcel of land.
The little red house was eventually moved to the west side of the TownLine Road, and was used for a honey house (beekeeping). The little red house still stands today (January 1996).
Joel and Lillie Belle were probably married on Sept 16,1892.
It is believed that Joel and Lillie Belle lived in the little red house for some years and were there in 1912 when Lillie Belle passed away at the age of 35.

Joel remarried to Charlotte (Lottie) Vancleaf on May 22, 1915 in Picton, Ontario.

Joel and wives Lillie Belle and Lottie are buried in the Wellington Village Cemetery.

Over the years, Joel and Lottie moved about several times.

In 1925, they moved to Buck Trumpours place (east of Niles Corners), then back to the Town Line.
In 1926, they moved to the Gore Road, then in 1930 they moved back to the Town Line, south of where Clifford and Gladys McFaul had their Pea Viner Processing Station.
The Gerty Winters house at this site was moved in later years to Wellington near where the Texaco Service Station was located.
From 1932 to 1940, Joel and Lottie lived on the Swamp College Road on the Hutchinson Family property (where the Zachariah family lived in the 1960's).

Joel died in 1940 and Lottie moved to Wellington, first to an apartment over top of the Bank of Nova Scotia, then across from Bill Davern's store, then to the Town Line Road - just south of St. Francis of Rome Roman Catholic Church (to the Mickey Donovan house). She lived there until she died in 1954.

Notes:

Solomon was born in Belleville, Ontario.

Lydia Hutchinson was born in Huntingdon Twp, her parents were Jonathan and Elizabeth.
They were of English origin and were Quakers by religion. By 1860, the Hutchinson family were living in Hillier Twp.

Solomon and Lydia were married on October 8, 1860 in Prince Edward County (probably Hillier Township) and accepted the Quaker religion.

PROPERTY - HALLOWELL
Solomon purchased the East Half of the North Half of Lot 11 - 3rd Concession - Hallowell Twp from his father Lawrence on April 22, 1867.

On October 28, 1868, Solomon sold 20 acres (East Half) to Richard Saylor.
The West Half was given by Agreement of Mortgage to Rensaler Cooper, on March 20, 1869. Rensaler married Eliza Goodmurphy, youngest sister of Solomon.

PROPERTY - HILLIER
Solomon acquired 70 acres of Lot 1, Conc. 1, Hillier Twp on November 5, 1872 from Silas Reynolds & Charlotte Blakely.
The property was on the westside of the Town Line Road, and ran from just south of Gilead Rd, and north towards the Swamp College Road.

It is presumed that Solomon & Lydia were living down in Hallowell Twp from 1860 to 1872.
The Census records seem to indicate that Solomon and Lydia were still living at Lot 11 in Hallowell Twp in 1881, but my father is under the impression that his father Joel was born in a little red house situated on 30 acres at the northeast corner of Gilead and Town Line Roads. This requires further research.

The farm was passed onto Lydia on July 11, 1891 before Solomon died and in August 1895 she passed it on to her sons Gilbert and Wallace.
Wallace sold out his interest to Gilbert in 1910 and Gilbert passed the property to his daughter Bernice in March 15, 1932.
Bernice sold the farm to Clifford McFaul on October 17, 1961, after it had been held by the Goodmurphy family for 89 years.

From the Picton Gazette, December 1961:
Farm Changes Ownership

Mr. Clifford McFaul purchased the farm on the Town Line, at the Gilead Road turn this fall from Mrs. Percy Cleave. Farms change hands every day, but not this particular one.
In 1872, Mrs. Cleave`s grandfather, Mr. Solomon Goodmurphy, purchased this farm from Silas Reynolds, a grandson of "old Smoke" Daniel Reynolds. Mr. Solomon Goodmurphy
lived on the farm until he passed away in March 1895, at the age of 88.
His sons, Gilbert Lawrence and Wallace E., with their families, lived together on the farm until 1903. Wallace moved to a farm on the Swamp College Road but the brothers
continued to work together as partners until 1910. Gilbert bought Wallace's farm and worked alone. Mrs. Gilbert Goodmurphy passed away in 1919, Gilbert passed away in 1932.
At that time, the farm was left to their daughter, Bernice. Mrs. Cleave has owned it until this fall 1961, after 89 years being in the Goodmurphy name. Mr. and Mrs. Cleave are living on
Wharf Street, Wellington.

Note: Solomon was born in 1836, so he was only 59 when he died. Lawrence, his father, was 86 when he died in 1891, I believe they got their names and dates mixed up.

Solomon passed away in Kingston according to his Will and left his estate to his wife Lydia.
Solomon and Lydia are buried in the Hicksite Cemetery in West Bloomfield. Solomon's will # 165.5 prepared on July 12, 1883, left everything to his wife, Lydia Maria. The executors were Lydia and Solomon's friend, John C. Garratt.
