Michaele,
Sorry I was late getting back to you..but I am not sure....because there is alot about the Murphy's I do not know? I am trying to make the connection to my Hines..
The person I was looking for...is related somehow..like a half-distant cousins or etc..to the Hines family..Pat Murphy...is half-brother to my Dennard's...I believe...who is connected to
the Hines family somehow...his wifes name is Mattie...this could be the connection...mother lived with Uncle Bobby and Aunt Mattie Dennard...Mattie was a Hines I believe...it has
been very difficult to sort this all out..

The Murphy's lived ? and the Hines most of them lived in Texas all over...and also in Oklahoma too..Longview and Kilgore was were my mother was living...when she went to
nursing school and aunt Mattie and Uncle Bobby took her
into their home so she could go to nursing school...

I do have alot of dates, pictures, and more information...but if you feel this is not any kind of closeness to your connection...or what you are looking for....i am sorry...
