Dear Patricia , I just posted a long message to the Mcmurry bulletin board, I think. This is the first time I have tried it. The gist of it is that I believe we have ancetors in common thru the Mcmurry line. My Mother, Mary Van was the daughter of Elias (Lee) Vanlandingham, (He shortened it to Van) and Madiline Johnson. Madiline was the Daughter of William Johnson and Violet Calico (sometime Callico). Violet was the daughter of John Calico and Elizabeth Means. Elizabeth Means was the daughter of Josiah Means and Polly Ann Mcmurry. Sometime Polly is referred to as Mary Ann (Polly) Mcmurry. This may be way more than you wanted to know, but I always prefer to get more info than less. Sometimes it gives me a clue as to some other link. What I'm having trouble now is that there seems to be a stone wall in finding the ancestry of Josiah and Polly. Do you have anything on them? I'll be waiting to hear from you.
