Denis Murphy.
He mar pre-1798 to
Elizabeth Blennerhassett
[natural dau of
Arthur Blennerhassett,
descendant of
Edward III].
The copy of her half-brother Robert Blennerhassett's
1798 marriage settlement
in
[NLI] D.27079
refers to Elizabeth as
"now [in 1798] the wife of Denis Murphy".
They lived at
Cromane, Killorglin par (W of Killorglin,
see
map).
Living Cromane as at son's bapt 1799.
"Dennis Murphy" is listed at Cromane
in
[Tithe Survey, 1823-37].
He has a very poor holding of 3 acres of low quality land.
There is a
"Denis Murphy" at Cromane Upper in
[Griffiths Valuation, 1853].
This could be old Denis or a son.
Denis and Elizabeth had issue:
- Arthur Murphy,
bapt 6 September 1799 [Killorglin RC par records].
The transcript
says he is the child of "Elizabeth Hassett" and "Thomas Murphy".
(todo!) See original.
Father's name must be transcribed wrong.
This must be our family because of the unusual name "Arthur", clearly after his grandfather
Arthur Blennerhassett.
The bapt was sp by
"Lucy Hassett", according to the transcript.
"Dennis Murphy" listed at Cromane
in
[Tithe Survey, 1823-37].
Location is "Cromane or Mountain part"
which would be Cromane Upper.
Land is
"Reclaimed bog" 1 acre,
and "Commonage" 2 acres.
He clearly has a very poor holding.

Entries for
"Denis Murphy" at Cromane Upper in
[Griffiths Valuation, 1853],
p.163 and p.164.
This could be old Denis or a son.
There are other Murphys in the townland. We do not assume they are related.
