Welcome to the Sarah Barton Murphy Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution website. We hope you enjoy your visit.
This Chapter is fittingly named for Sarah Barton Murphy, daughter of Joshua Barton of Virginia, a Revolutionary soldier, and the wife of Rev. William Murphy. Rev. Wm. Murphy and their three sons came to the vicinity of Farmington in 1798 and received their Spanish land grants. Rev. Wm. Murphy died enroute back to Tennessee to get his wife. Undaunted by even so great a loss as her life companion, Mrs. Murphy returned to Missouri, in 1803, and established the first white settlement.
The Sarah Barton Murphy Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution at Farmington, Missouri, was organized March 12, 1914, at the home of Mrs. O. A. Nichols, with fourteen present.
It is an honor to have the Chapter bear the name of Sarah Barton Murphy, a noble pioneer woman.
