  • Notes 
    • Richard died in May 1895, the cause listed as old age.
      Richard and Abigail lived on the Irvine Gore in the early years of their marriage. Abigail's sister Mary was the wife of William Wilson, who was their neighbour.
      Richard and Abigail and family then moved to a farm that runs north from Hwy 33(east of Wellington) to the Gilead Road.
      Richard and his family lived on the 1st Concession - Lot 9F in Hallowell Twp. The farm consisted of 105 acres - East Half of Lot 9F.
      The 1851 Census lists their religion as Church of England, later Census list them as Universalists.
      Richard belonged to Order of Freemasons and it is important to note that he went under the surname MURPHY as opposed to Goodmurphy !!!
      All of the Census Records for Richard and Abigail and their children carry the surname of Murphy.
      I am not sure if this use of "Murphy" was deliberate, or just easier than Goodmurphy.
      Richard's will, however, has his name as Richard Good Murphy, also Abigail is named as Good Murphy, as are his sons Richard and Josiah, who were executors.
      Also elswehere in the Will, the surname of Goodmurphy is used.
      He left some of his estate to his daughters - Sarah Hutchins, Deborah Bartlett, and Pheoba McDonald.
      Richard is buried in the Stinson Cemetery, which is located on the north side of Hwy 33 east of Wellington (just past the Slaven farm).
