iv MARY ANN BARBER, the second daughter of Lyman Barber and Elizabeth Ann Judy, was born 31 Oct 1854 near Troy, Madison County, Illinois. She died 5 Apr 1921 at Kokomo, Howard Co., Indiana, age 66 years, 5 months, 6 days.
Mary Ann, usually called Mollie, was married 7 Apr 1870 at Troy, Illinois
to Robert Murphy, Jr. He was born 15 Feb 1844 in Macoupin Co., Illinois,
the son of Robert Pllford Murphy (1810-1847) and Mary Ann Clark (1821-1892). Robert Murphy, Jr., died in Piatt County, Illinois, 3 Aug 1900
Mollie grew up on the family farm near Troy, IL, and was not quite 16 years of age when she was married in 1870. The couple went to live on the groom's land he was farming in Cerro Gordo Township in Piatt Co., IL, and were listed there in the 1870 U.S. Census as 26 and 16 years of age; he was a farmer with a worth of $400.
Robert's father had died when the lad was only three, and the following year his mother had married Stillman Barber, brother of Lyman Barber. Young Robert lived at the family home in Madison County until he was about thirteen when he moved to Piatt Co. Having attended common school in Macoupin and Madison counties, he also received education at Decatur, IL.
A deed recorded in Book 9-175 of Piatt Co. describes the property in
section #32, Unity Township. It was deeded to Mary and Robert Murphy 18 Aug 1874 as a gift from her father, Lyman Barber. It was Lyman's habit to make a gift of land, usually in central Illinois, to each of his children upon their marriage. This farm was located near Milmine, and the young couple probably added more acreage to the original gift, as the Piatt County History mentions:
"120 acres possessed by the Murphys with good improvements, Including all necessary outbuildings, a comfortable dwelling," etc.
The History goes on that "Mr. Murphy is a reliable and public-spirited citizen, . . . though never desirous of making himself conspicuous. In politics he is a Republican. He and his wife belong to the (Pierson) Baptist Church, have high standing in that religious body, and are regarded with great respect."
