 More on Tom 1 (2?) (05 Sep 2003 at 16:48)
As reported earlier I have done some looking into my great great great great grandfather (Tom 1)'s service record in the Civil War. Based on my best information, here's a listing of the Murphies in his regiment.

There some weird stuff here. For example, there's a Michael P. Murphy, which is exactly my brother's name. He will be happy to know that he outranked Tom 1: A fifth sergeant to Tom's mere Private.

Now there's a new Tom and Mike P Murphy. Does this mean that the robot war starts soon?

Also, it's hard to tell which of the 139 Tom Murphies might be the one. Did he win a medal for capturing the flag?

But, I am tempted to believe that the pair Thomas Murphy and Thomas Murphy, 2nd., both from the same company, are my GGGGgrandfather and GGGgrandfather, respectively...

I totally ruled. I'm going to be the John Conner of the upcoming robot wars.

Got to be difficult to do research with so many Thomas Murphies in the archives.
Don't know how it feels to share your name with other people, I am the only person on earth with my first name - last name combination I think. Or at least in my country...

Yeah, three vowels in a row is pretty sweet.

I am, I think, the only "Tom Murphy VII" there is, though.

I use the three vowels just because my real nickname, Tuur, is always taken when I have to come up with a new loginname.
