General Notes: Wife - Mrs. Ann Murphy

---

She came to Fayette County, Pennsylvania, from Maryland, during the Revolutionary war (the exact date is not known), and bought what later became the county farm and the Gaddis place, where she lived at the time of the Methodist Conference in 1788. In Maryland she owned a tobacco plantation between Baltimore and Harper's Ferry, and having several children, she (at their solicitation) sold out and moved west to Uniontown, Pennsylvania. She was accompanied by all her children, except a married daughter, who remained in Maryland. She brought a considerable sum of money with her, and after buying the home-farm and the farm at Mount Braddock for Jacob, she had for those days a large surplus, but as it was in Continental notes it became worthless at the close of the war.

She brought a number of her slaves with her, and among them a Guinea negro named Nero, of whom many laughable anecdotes were related.

She was one of the original members of the church in Uniontown, and often entertained Bishop Asbury and his traveling companions, who always made it a point to stop with "Mother Murphy" when their journeys west and south brought them into the neighborhood.
