Hello all, I have hit so many dead ends since 1985!! I cannot find, where Thomas came from in Ireland. He came to the USA in the early 1800s, between 1804 when he was born to 1835 when his son was born in NY. I have not been able to find out when or where he came from. I know he was in Wayne County, New York in 1835 to 1840 when his kids were born. That is all I know. There does not seem to be any records in Wayne County, that I am aware of, left for me to search. I am open to any suggestions. Thanks, Kathy Gold 1 Thomas Murray b: Abt. 1804 in Ireland d: 12-21-1864 in Sterling, Whiteside County, Illinois Emigration: Bet. 1805 - 1835 Came from Ireland .. married Sarah Turner b: Abt. 1808 in Sodus, Wayne County, New York m: Abt. 1834 in New York d: 5-20-1854 in Sterling, Whiteside County, Illinois .........2 Hiram Judson Murray b: 9-1835 in Wayne County, New York d: 1-30-1904 in Beaman, Grundy County, Iowa ............. married Nancy Dew b: Abt. 1842 in Ohio m: 8-27-1865 in Tama County, Iowa d: Abt. 1874 in Beaman Iowa .........2 Sarah Lucinda Murray b: 3-30-1837 in Sodus, Wayne County, New York d: in Barron, Wisconsin ............. married Jonathan Franklin Coe b: 6-22-1819 in Rush, Monroe County, New York m: 3-30-1862 d: 11-23-1885 in Rolla, Phelps County, Missouri (Vichey Springs) Emigration: 1838 Emigrated with his parents to Whiteside County, Illinois .........2 Maryann R.
