Ben, guess I have to rat out Don McMurray. You'll remember he moved from VA to Utah, they now have a B & B there. I believe this email address will work, if not, I can give you another. don@storybookbnb.com Wilda McMurry

There is some info in your post which connects to the Rutherford Co. McMurrays. Don McMurray, a researcher from VA has established that some of the McMurray's who came to NC from VA with Thomas McMurray were his nephews. I think that William McMurray was one of these, but I must check my records further to be sure. The McMurrays did come to America from Ireland but at least two generations back from William and Samuel in Rutherford. I am going to check more on your info and see what I can turn up. You might want to locate Don McMurray at don@norrishouse.com and he can probably give you more info on the McMurray's from VA.

Any possibility of a connection to this brick wall? Mary Ann (Polly) McMurry (b. 28 Nov 1803 TN, d. 11 Mar 1865 Upshur county, TX) m. 7 Oct 1824 Dickson County, TN, to Lemuel READ. (Family tradition says came from Ireland at age 3 - raised by brother when parents died.) 1850 census: age 44 1860 census: age 57. I believe that she may be the daughter of Thomas McMurry and Agnes or Nancy Flack. I found court records that show her as a minor orphan 2 Oct 1820- Robert McMurry guardian. She would have been 17 at the time. In the same court record: Cynthia McMurry minor orphan 2 Oct 1820 - James McMurry guardian; Sally and Washington McMurry minor orphans 2 Oct 1820 - William McMurry guardian. Are guardians older siblings or uncles? She used the names of these siblings and/or uncles to name some of her 12 children: William Thomas, Washington, Sarah Jane, James Robert, and Nancy. One of her grandsons was Robert McMurry Read. Can anyone help? Florence H. King fking@pipeline.com

I LOVE to look thru that stuff. I mean it is the actual will's, deed's marriage license/bonds. Those papers aren't copied or anything. You get to touch the same paper they touched! I had a friend to go and look at the archives. She said this lady was looking at some old stuff and a hair fell out. She said, oh I have a 200 year old hair...<grins> Those old documents are made on foolsap, parchment paper. Its amazing. The best thing you could do, is go to the Raleigh Archives. You will find ALOT of good finds. I hope to go back soon.

Hi kwood. Thanks for the info, but that woudn't be the Mary I'm looking for. The Mary I need was the Mcmurry daughter that married Josiah Means. How in the world did you come across these wonderful old documents? They must have some terrific stuff in them. E

I too would like a copy.. tansy@lewiscounty.com

Yes, Ben, I'd love to have the files. Thanks so much. Wilda McMurry YeloRibbon@aol.com

Hi Ben, I would love information. This is my step G grandmother's line and also, I think William McMurry is my GGG grandmother's father. Thank you, Kim

Dorles, Mary McMurry's will was in Rutherford County, North Carolina.

Am researching a Samuel Mcmurray who settled in Scott county, Virginia in the 1780s, he married a Jane Ramey from Pennsylvania. All we can find is that his father was Samuel Mcmurray married to Elizabeth, last name unknown. Is there a possibility that this could be our line? We have hit a dead end.

Elmer, I also have a will of a Mary McMurry. She left everything she had to her daughter Sarah. The will was made November 19, 1832. Mary says: First, I give my sole to God. and my body to mother dust and after my just debts and burial expenses is paid. I give and bequeath the remainder of my estate real and personal unto my daughter, Sarah McMurry. And I hereby make and ordain my worthy friend David Thompson executor of this my last will and testament in witness where of. I have hereunto set my hand and seal the date above writen. In the presents of us. John Thompson Edward M. Quinn Mary McMurry's mark. recorded: September 1833. Book F, page 161

I may have missed something. Where was Mary McMurry's will recorded? What county and state?
