Billy Murphy of Lowell needs to be distinguished from Billy Murphy of Staten Island NY. New York's Murphy was a fighter of approximately the same weight who occasionally ventured into New England.

Patrick Lynch used the name Billy Murphy because he didn't want his sister, a nun, to know that he made money with his fists.

Later in his career, he was a stablemate of Jack Sharkey and was managed by Johnny Buckley.
