George Saunders, the father of Malachi Murphy, was accidentally killed in the process of felling a tree, leaving a widow and several children. Hannah, his widow, subsequently married Malachi Murphy (Sr.) who adopted George Saunders' children as his own. The descendants of this family were thenceforth known as Murphy.
