In your reseaech of old Samuel McMurray of Rutherford Co. NC have you found his son James? I also would like to know where Andrew, John, Samuel Jr. and the other one went. Thomas i beleive was the name. I am thinking that James droped the "Mc" because he got in trouble for "gameing" and from then after the family went by Murry then later generations added the "a". I would really appreciate anything aditional anyone could add abt. the whereabots of James the son who inherated his fathers waggon equally with his brother Andrew. My James Murry in Tennessee when he died in abt 1835 had a half of waggon in his list of property valued in his estate. Thanks, Carol
