Marianne, My Isabelle McMurry (born c. 1808) who married Smith James and lived in Barren county, KY may be related to your William. The reason I think this is a possibility is that Smith James had a brother, Richard James, who married a widow Letitcia Carpenter. Letitcia had children by her prior marriage. I can't remember if Hannah was one of them, but will look this info up and let you know.

Dorles and Wilda, I will back up one more generation to my great grandfather James Perry McMurray. He was born 05 Dec 1850 Monroe County OH. Married Nancy Eliz. Howell 09 Feb 1875 Belmont Co. OH. On this marriage certificate the McMurray name is spelled Murray/McMurray/Murry. He died 29 Apr 1919 Belmont CoOH. Parents of J.P. McMurray were William McMurray b 1825 OH m. 12 Dec 1848 Guernsey CoOH to Hannah Carpenter. Wm. died in 1855 buried Noble CoOH. (marriage listing and tombstone listing). Hannah Carpenter McMurray (dau of Richard and Mary Carpenter) remarried to Henry Morris in 1858 Noble CoOH. My J. P. McMurray is not listed in the 1850 Monroe Co Oh Census taken Sept 1850 as he was born in Dec 1850. We next find J.P. in the home of his step-father Henry Morris in 1860. The William McMurray 1825-1855 was always thought in the oral family history to be a son of William McMurray 1753-1839 who served in the Revolutionary War. This William was born in Carlisle PA 19 Jul 1753, married Ann (?McAdam or Long?) 09Apr 1795, died 28 Mar 1839 Morgan Co OH. They had 10 children. I personally believe there is a generation missing here between the Williams, but have not been able to prove satisfactorily yet. Thank you for your time. Any thoughts or clues would be appreciated. Marianne. :-) Repass, Dorles L wrote: > Marianne, > > My Isabelle McMurry (born c. 1808) who married Smith James and lived in > Barren county, KY may be related to your William.
