Howdy Cousin James!

Your family descended from Jeremiah and Jane's son James. I come from Jeremiah and Jane's son Roland Murphy (my G Grandfather), Morton Murphy (my Grandpa) and finally Judy Murphy-Swart (my Mom). My grandpa Morton was born on Iron Mountain just outside of Redding, CA. He was a physician in WWII, spent a stint in Southern CA, and then moved back "home" in the early 1960s to Redding where he practiced medicine. He passed in 2002 and I miss him. My mom was born in San Francisco. I asked grandpa, but he really didn't know much about Jeremiah or Jane. If you have ANY info on Jeremiah, I'd appreciate it. His childhood is hard to pin down!

Saw you guys had snow in Eugene - sending you warm thoughts. I'll try to ring you soon! Lyle
