      Susan Clark is the sister of Elizabeth Clark, who married Cecil Reynolds, who was the father of Samuel Reynolds, who was the father of Henrietta and Lillie Belle Reynolds.
      John and Susan were neighbours of William Wilson on the Irvine Gore, in the early years of their married life.
      The 1851 Census lists a John C. Goodmurphy living in Hillier Township.
      John is listed on the Census between Jared Clark and Sam Ellis.
      The 1866 County Directory shows John under Ameliasburg Twp on the 3rd Concession - Lot 96F.

      John was a farmer and the family is listed as members of the Church of England.

      The Ameliasburg property (Lot 96-Conc. 3) was originally granted by the Crown to Nathaniel Taylor on May 17, 1802, the lot representing 200 acres.
      On August 14, 1848, the property was passed to Nathaniel Osburn (guessed to be a relation).

      On March 15, 1871, John sold the property to his son Gilbert, refer to B&S # 2219.
      The property then passed down to Gilbert's son, Lewis Elgin, and when he passed away, it was passed to Earle Goodmurphy. Earle passed away in 1989,
      and his widow, Eileen held the property until her death in 1993.
      The property was eventually sold.
