Murphy, Dickson Family of Alabama-Georgia

I am researching the following Murphy family from Georgia and Alabama:

Felix Murphy BIRTH: ca. 1786 NC  
Nancy BIRTH: ca. 1799 GA

Children:
 
1. William BIRTH:ca. 1828 GA m. (1)Sarah L. Dickson 22JAN1858 Russell Co., AL 
      (2)Emma Dickson 20JAN1874  

2. Susan BIRTH: ca. 1830 GA 

6. John BIRTH: ca. 1831GA m. Sarah Jane Dickson 25JUN1850 

3. Augustus BIRTH: ca. 1832 GA 

4. James BIRTH: ca.1833 GA 

5. Benjamin BIRTH: ca. 1835 AL 

6. Charles BIRTH: ca. 1837 AL 
--------------------------------------------------------------
My direct line is William and Sarah (Dickson) Murphy.
Sarah was born ca. 1833 GA

Their Children were:

1.  John Murphy BIRTH:ca. 1859 Russell Co., AL m. Lillie Fenix 10APR1902 Meade Co., KY

2. Lavonia Onealia Murphy BIRTH: ca. 1866 Russell/Lee Co., AL 
     m. John Hodge 10APR1892 Lee Co., AL
--------------------------------------------------------------
My direct line from above is John Murphy.  John told his oldest children about 
the trouble he got into in Alabama.  He was arrested, but escaped and 
came to Kentucky.  Once in Kentucky he changed his name to John Floyd.  
I am looking for any information on John, his mother Sarah Linn Dickson, or 
his grandfather and grandmother Felix and Nancy Murphy.  Any help would 
be very appreciated!
