Michael C. Murphy (Clounaglaskin) — 1992-letter framework, DISFAVORED 2026-05-28

family confidence: 0 — not family / context

**DISFAVORED FRAMEWORK 2026-05-28.** Originally proposed as the ancestral root of the Butte Murphys per the 1992 Donald V. Murphy reader's letter (Montana Standard, 1992-05-29). The letter claimed Michael C. was Tady's father, born 1788 and died 1890 (lived to 102), of Clounaglaskin, Castletownbere parish, Co. Cork. Demoted to background-context once the user adopted the Ballycrovane / Seamus Mór framework as Pat's actual ancestry on 2026-05-28 (see [[person_seamus_mor_murphy_pjm_father]] and [[person_timothy_tady_murphy_1825]]). The Michael C. record falls with Tady; if the Tady-Pat link is rejected, Michael C. has no documented connection to our line. Preserve the record in case independent corroboration surfaces, but treat as not-family until then.

Family notes (private; from people.yaml)

DISFAVORED. Originally fc=10 as provisional root of the Pat-line per the 1992 letter. Demoted to 0 on 2026-05-28 once the user replaced the Tady-Clounaglaskin framework with the Ballycrovane / Seamus Mór framework for Pat's ancestry. The 102-year longevity claim was always a flag worth checking against parish records — that check has not been done. Hold record for archaeology only.
