Notes for Mary George BARRINGTON | ||||||||||||||
486After her father's death, Mary George took Mary Elizabeth and her brother, Richard back to Philadelphia. Helen Beall later states, "I finally found out what happened to Mary George. In about 1842, she remarried. Her new husband was Dr. Samuel Murphy. According to the 1850 census of South Mulberry Ward in Philadelphia, the following is the Murphy household. Samuel Murphy, age 43, physician, born in Delaware Mary G. Murphy, age 43, born in Pennsylvania Samuel Murphy, age 6, born in Pennsylvania, attending school Kate Murphy, age 1 Henry M. Tschudy, age 16 clerk, born in South Carolina Margaret Tschudy, age 17, born in South Carolina Ann Davis, age 30, domestic, born in Wales Ann Clarke, age 23, domestic, born in Ireland The 1880 census of Philadelphia shows Samuel Murphy, physician, widower, age 72, born in Delaware, both parents born in Delaware, living alone. The records of St. John's Church, Savannah, Georgia, where John Wilson Nevitt and Mary Eliza Tschudi Nevitt were parishioners, shows the following Tschudys as sponsors at a baptism. I conclude that they are siblings of Mary Eliza and children of John Jacob and Mary George. 21 Dec. 1848. John Jacob, son of John W. and Mary Eliza Nevitt. Sponsors include Mr. Richard B. Tschudy and Miss Eleanor Tschudy. I am not sure that I explained the problem in identifying the children of John Jacob and Mary George. The parish registers of St. John's Berkeley were burned in a fire (actually a forest fire that consumed the church) in the 1850's. There were copies in the diocesan offices in Charleston, but those offices burned with all the records. There would have been guardianship records in the county offices in Charleston, but all the guardianship records disappeared during the Civil War. Both the diocesan archivist and the chief archivist of South Carolina have confirmed that the records no longer exist. | ||||||||||||||
