Hi cousins, I was at the Library of Congress today looking for some of my Watson ancestors and found some McMurray information somewhat accidentally when I made a photocopy of a page with some Watsons on it! They aren't my family as far as I know but maybe they belong to one of you. I've copied this exactly as it is in the book.
