John McMurphy was born about 1682 in Northern Ireland, son of James McMurphy who was born in Scotland and died on 21 September 1755 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. John's wife was Mary Cargill.
Last week I photographed the double gravestone of their son, Robert McMurphy and his wife, Jane Shirley. Please click on this link to see it:

I'm sorry, I don't know the ancestry of Alexander McMurphy. You are going to have to "cross the pond" for this information.
