Murphy, Timothy

   Also found in: Hutchinson 0.04 sec.
Murphy, Timothy (1751–1818) soldier; born in Pike County, Pa. A legendary Continental army sharpshooter, he enlisted in June 1775 and fought at Boston and in the New Jersey campaign, served with Gen. Daniel Morgan in the campaign against John Burgoyne (1777), and saw action at Yorktown (1781). Murphy's inability to read and write did not bar him from postwar successes in local politics.
