Charlestown before Watertown.  You'll find them in various Worcester Co., MA
towns.
There were brothers, William, George, Robert and Benjamin.  They all went to

assistant: That's very kind of you to offer that, David.  But my ancestors are not from
that line.  In fact, I'm the only one in our family that ever lived in old
Mississippi; I was homeported or stationed in Gulfport 1969-1974, then lived
there for another year before coming back to Lakewood in 1975.  My GGF
William MURPHY was born in Greene County, OH in 1818.  His father came from
Ireland in 1791, probably via Philly or Baltimore.
Thanks again for the kind offer.
BTW, I'm told there may not be a census in the year 2000.  Instead, they'll
just reprint the witness list from the special prosecutor. :)

 Does it not say where he came from on the passenger list? Usually one can
expect to find the person's age, occupation, county and country of origin.
Were you looking at the actual passenger list, or just a typescript copy, or
index? Do his marriage and death certificates not give any information?
 Once you have found out the county, then it is not too difficult to narrow
it down, using Griffiths Valuations etc. Matheson's Special Report on
Surnames lists Draper as being more common in the southern counties of
Ireland, and not a common name overall.
