I am most interested in this family info. You can email me direct at Croy1238@aol.com I am most interested in the Samuel McMurry. I think i desc. from the one that died in Rutherford Co NC after comming from Va and going i think into Tn then back to NC. I beleive his son James McMurry and maybe other brothers went into East Tennessee before 1800 as James first shows up as James McMurry in the early records and his name later becomes James Murry, then James Murray. I do not have enough proof to prove this but this is my throry. I would love to know the early history and i will share what ever i have on this family. Thanks, Carol
