He was born in the year 1751 near the Delaware Water Gap. His parents were Presbyterians from County Donegal, Ireland, who moved to Shamokin Flats (now Sunbury, Pennsylvania) in 1759, when Murphy was eight years old. A few years later, Murphy became an apprentice to a Mr. Van Campen, and moved with the van Campen family to the Wyoming Valley, which was then the frontier.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Timothy Murphy: Frontier Rifleman )〕
