====================
French General Jean-Joseph Humbert, who commanded the French force against the
British in the landing at Killala, Ireland in 1798, was still in New Orleans in
1813. He is pictured to the left. He claimed he had recruited a force of Irish
and French men ready for an invasion of Texas and was asking around for American
volunteers. Diego Murphy's son (also named Diego Murphy, and also the Spanish
Consul in New Orleans) believed the general did have a force of about 600 men
assembled in small groups waiting in Louisiana. One plan was discovered by the
Spaniards and reported in their dispatches. Humbert's men were to launch a land
attack by way of Nacogdoches, while Pierre and Jean Laffite's men would attack
Matagorda or Tampico by sea.....A provisional Texas government was formed on the
Spanish side of Natchitoches by the group on November 25, 1813. Diego Murphy,
Junior reported to Spain he was watching events closely and that the whole
expedition was all show with no substance behind it. Men were gathering, but the
Natchitoches group was stalling....

What happened to these slaves in the West Indies?
- Some escaped to the Southern states of America and established plantations of
their own. Many settled and intermarried with the natives in the West Indies and
their descendants still have Irish names such as O’Neill and Murphy.

Tortuga under Attack (1635)
On Tortuga the slaves were said to be out of control and the planters dispersed
because of Fraud and mismanagement. There are also continual disagreements and
fights between the English and French colonists.

An Irish deserter of the English colony named John Murphy brought intelligence
of this to the Spanish forces in the area. As a result, in the same year, the
colony is attacked by Spanish forces under the command of Captain Gregorio de
Castellar y Mantilla.

1635-An Irish Caitiff of the English colony named John Murphy, who resented
being embraced by Sores, brought intelligence of this conflict to the Sabbat
forces in the area. As a result, in the same year, the colony is attacked by
Spanish forces under the command of Captain Gregorio de Castellar y Mantilla...

1663- The buccaneer Captain Guy used Tortuga... In a sudden reversal,
‘L’Ollonias’ slays Father John Murphy and betrays the Sabbat; he settles in
Tortuga and is welcomed back by Hammavant. His defection is seen as a great
victory or the Brethren and the word comes out that he had deliberately
infiltrated the Sabbat to find and slay Murphy...

Archibald Debow Murphey, a state senator from Orange County, favored state reform
such as internal improvements, public education, revision of the state
constitution, and drainage of swamplands.
In 1815, Senator Archibald Murphey drew up a plan calling for internal
improvements specifically to improve harbors, construct canals, and build
turnpikes. The Murphy plan also called for the education of all white children
and for revising the state constitution to remedy unequal representation in the
General Assembly. This plan failed because of a lack of financing and lack of
public support.
