I have come to believe that there were several John Murrells who were not bandits, theives, pirates, etc. Several dates come out as a birth date of John Murrell. There is a lot of information out there, however. There are several John Murrells in my family, but I have not found any proof of relations to "the John Murrell (s)." John Andrew Murrell is suppose to be the riverboat pirate, but I have seen John A. Murrell several times in the same time frame with different birthdates.
