John J. Murphy lived in western Virginia at the beginning of the Civil War. His wife was a member of the Tiffany family.

During his imprisonment his wife died as did several of her relatives. After his release in 1862 he left Virginia and eventually settled with his daughter in North Vernon, Indiana. While there he started a business in the sale of cigars.
