Patrick "Pat" J. Murphy (Cork-born bartender / shoemaker; d. 1912 Warm Springs MT)

85 that this Paddy is Patrick (the month and year match the 1850 baptism). The marriage given him belongs, by the Annals' own Bank entry, to his uncle Paddy Mor (married Margaret Murphy of Cooradonoghue, children 1855-70); the 'Rosmacowen' clause as a statement about Patrick: about 10.

Read on the NLI register image (26 Sept and 4 Oct 2026). That this child is Patrick of Ardgroom and Butte is the analyst's estimate, 85; Luke's decision of 3 Oct 2026 on his parents is 95.

Fits the ages he gave in America and nothing else: the father is Joseph, not the James of the 1881 return, and the Upper Gorth family of the Annals has no Catherine (Kate) and already had a Margaret (Mar. 1855). Analyst 5, as on the site's page.

That the tree says it: 100. The day is the Gort baptism's (Hypothesis A); the tree cites the ND census, New York passenger lists of 1883 and 1886 and the 1900 census, none of which gives a day. Luke's research deck repeats 1858-04-04. Superseded for the record by Luke's decision of 12 June 2026 (1850).

The Annals (two printings of one author's text, not independent).

Primary record; 'full age' means 21 or over and fits both baptisms.

Civil marriage return.

Civil return. Whether the village or the parish is meant is not stated.

Civil return, entry No. 7: the '7' is the entry number, so 'married 7 February 1881' in this record's disambiguation and in Ellen's is a misreading (entries 6, 8 and 9 are 12, 16 and 19 Feb; registered 16 Feb). The parish office reports the church entry (unseen); the tree has 13 Feb 1881.

Identity 80. A landing in March 1882 does not fit James's conception in Ireland about Oct-Nov 1882 (born 26 July 1883) unless he crossed twice; the 1900 census, Terese and the tree's 1883 manifest give 1883.

A civil register entry and independent family memory agree.

Name only; age and trade do not help; not linked (the metadata's own verdict: inconclusive).

Three statements agree on 1883; the manifest itself is not filed.

The register says it; by Terese (1971) he had already left for America, so this is the family's home rather than proof of his presence.

'fifty eight' read at 93 on the screenshot and on the microfilm page. The 80 is the identification of the declarant with Patrick (see source_links); if he, this is the earliest of his own American age statements.

Read on 4 Oct 2026 (the clerk is Hills, not 'Kell'). 80 = identity.

The household (wife Mary F. 33, born Massachusetts; sons John 12, born Minnesota, and 'Danl M.' 9, born Dakota) matches Dennis M. Kelleher, saloon keeper, born 1845 in Cork, in Jamestown from 1872, survived by two sons; analyst 85 that the head is Kelleher. 80 = identity of the Jamestown man with Patrick.

The sheet reads 26 (85, transcription of 4 Oct 2026; the site page's 'provisionally 25' is superseded), and both the NDSU index and the county workbook give 26. 80 = identity with Patrick.

The census says it; 80 is the identification of the Jamestown man with Patrick.

Tree citation only; it may record a second crossing or another Patrick Murphy.

One item with a follow-up; 'the War Horse' is Kelleher's political nickname and his saloon's name. The plaintiff = the 1885 bartender boarding with Kelleher: 95; = Patrick: 75. The record's residence note ('two civil suits ... one against the railroad', '$80') does not match the print (one suit against Kelleher; $100).

Two statements agree. Terese's 'He came to Butte in 1884 [the third digit written over], before Jim was born' (1967) cannot be right as written: James was born in 1883.

Many independent records. The years are inferred: in Montana from about 1887-88, an invalid from about 1895-97.

A lead only. He told the court in 1908 that he had been 'injured about the head in a mine accident', and his wife and son were still in Ireland in 1890, so a boarder fits. No bartender of the name is in this directory. Oliver Murphy's email ('worked as miner then bartender') probably echoes the 1908 report.

Independent sources agree he was paralysed and an invalid from the mid-1890s; the year runs from about 1895 (Terese) to about 1897 (the 1908 reports); 'two' strokes rests on one report (75).

The only bartender among the page's Patrick Murphys; same address as the June 1896 death notice of the infant daughter of 'Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Murphy', with 'Murphy Maggie' (his sister) boarding there.

Directory and newspaper agree.

'Na' in 1900: 95. The 1898 date: tree with a cited collection (75), lowered because James took out his own papers in 1906, which a minor son of a man naturalized in 1898 would not have needed; either the 1898 Patrick Murphy is another man or James's papers were taken anyway.

Proofed 4 Oct 2026. 'David' is typed clearly; that it is a slip for Daniel (b. Aug 1894) is an inference (90).

His own household, with Ellen, James, Daniel and Theresa. The month (April) fits both baptisms.

The street is not legible in the transcription (margin note 'West [?] [Park?]'), so the record's '407 West Cobban' is unconfirmed (50), and its 'owned home' is not supported by the 'R'.

Two reports of the two hearings.

Three records agree.

Two records agree.

Reported as his own answer in court.

Three reports of the same hearing.

Three reports. The years 1904-07 at this address rest on directory passes of 28 May 2026 that are not filed as sources.

Two papers of the same day, probably one origin (the commitment papers); the informant is not recorded.

Three reports; the Inter Mountain item was proofed against the image on 4 Oct 2026.

The hospital's own form.

The certificate's 4 years and the tree's 1910 census citation (Warm Springs School District, roll T624_831, p. 19B) agree; the record's note that he was 'back at a Butte family residence by April 1912' is contradicted.

That several children died at birth or in infancy: 100. The number (4, 8 or 9) conflicts; the two later statements agree on 8-9 (75).

His own account to the asylum staff, as recorded.

Primary certificate and the obituary.

The certificate; the tree, citing the Find a Grave index, also has burial at Butte.

Read on 4 Oct 2026: the 5 at 88, the 6 at 75 (an 8 is the alternative). 56 is the asylum's 52 of March 1908 plus four years, so probably copied forward from the asylum file rather than a new statement. The record's birth_notes and the site's analysis page still say the certificate gives no age.

Transcription of 4 Oct 2026 (the physician's first initial F at 55; the contributory duration 2 at 88; the metadata's '4 years' for the dementia belongs to the primary line).

Informant not stated; presumably the family.

The notice, before the event; Friday was 26 Apr 1912.

That they say it: 100. Ballycrovane by spelling; as the truth, about 85 (it agrees with the 1850 baptism; Gort is another townland of the parish).

That she wrote it: 100. As evidence of the year it is weak (about 25): written 55 years after his death and hedged ('about', 'I think').

His daughter, after her visit of 1938.

His daughter's characterisation.

That she wrote it: 100. A family story at second hand (Joan was born nine years after he died); it fits a husband born 1850 better than one born 1858 (Ellen was born 1859-63). As evidence, about 25.

Oliver Murphy's message of 12 May 2026, relaying what the family told him; no cemetery record is filed.

Recorded in the record's birth_notes; restated by the decision of 3 Oct 2026 on his parents.

Many records; the certificate point corrects the record's metadata ('Birthplace: Ireland').

One report of the hearing; the asylum notes of Nov 1908 say 'No late diseases or injuries'. Oliver Murphy's email repeats it, probably from this report.

Two records.

As printed. The site's page discusses Joseph (Gort) against James (Ballycrovane) for the J; nothing decides it.

That Paddy Tailor was in Butte: two independent sources (95). That he came to see Patrick: Terese only (75).
