Donna, Where in Texas did your McM's turn up? This might help me determine if its the same line I have.

Carolyn, The McMurrys ended up in Fannin Co, TX. James I believe was in Gober and then Bonham. That is all I have to go on.

Ben, I have just began to have time to look some things over. Benjamin Biggerstaff who married Mary Van Zandt is the brother of Samuel Biggerstaff married to Martha Lytle. Samuel is my husbands 4th great grandfather. I have a Garret VZ listed as Mary's father. Is that correct. I checked you page briefly but didn't find the Van Zandt line. I will have to look again. I have Benjamin listed with his son Aaron but that is all so I will add Jane Carter. I will keep in contact and see what we can find that leads our McMurrys together perhaps. Thanks for all your help. I am going to do a little more looking around now. Donna

What do we know about the McMurry spelling? McMurray vs McMurry. Donna
