Patrick Murphy (1834–1862) was an Irish giant, born in County Down of parents James Murphy and mother Peggy (née Cunningham), who exhibited himself as a means of income. He originally worked on the docks in Liverpool, England and later became a waiter at a hotel. Because he was a man of extraordinary height, Murphy attracted crowds everywhere he went. He eventually decided that he could make an honest living being tall. He had always billed himself as being 8 ft 1.0 in (246.4 cm) and in some circles as much as 9'3". In about 1860, he was measured by Dr. Virchow as being 7 ft 3 in (222 cm) tall.
