Nope, but Murder is: "creek in Genessee County, New York, so named because the body of a man who was supposed to have been murdered was found in the stream." cool cool
IIRC -kill as a suffix is a Dutch thing that means a creek or marsh or inlet and shows up in a lot of areas of Dutch settlement-as in fishkill, schuykill

I was wondering a while about toponyms that ended in -ford and -bridge; basically river crossings. Ford is pretty drat common and bridge isn't incredibly rare. But are there any other places with Ferry or is Harpers the only one?

There is a Millers Ferry, AL that I know of, and I am sure that's not the only one. It's right near somewhere called Crumptonia, which is a weird name.
