- Birth:
- 1788, Castlekilty, Lauragh, Kerry, Ireland 502026-05-27 — Luke Murphy family tree (Ancestry.com); undated — Riobárd Ó Dwyer, "Who Were My Ancestors? Annals of Beara," Volume IIThe tree gives 1788 at Castlekilty, citing only another member's tree, and gives his brother Sean 'Abt. 1788' too, so the year is an estimate; no Kerry or Beara register goes back that far. The place fits the Annals, which bring the brothers from Castlekilty, 'just to the east of Eskadower, Lauragh' (75 for the place alone).
