Don, Maybe there were two Morgan's Rifleman. Here's my ancestor's info: Catlett James- 1 CL and 10 CL: 1 Virginia Reg't of the Continental Line and 10 Virginia Reg't of the Continental Line Orange Petitioner. Catlett James-Morgan's Riflemen. I was really getting excited there, hoping for a McMurry "fit." But, as usual, can't place mine.

Parr's Company from the Shenandoah Valley (Botetourt Co.), Va. The nucleus of Colonel Daniel Morgan's regiment was Capt. Parr's company of men who were recruited in the valley (James Graham, "Life of General Daniel Morgan." In Michael J. O'Brian, ed. Irish Settlers in America, 304-308, 312. Benson L. Lossing, ed. Pictorial Field Book of the Revolution, Vol. I, 61, 62 & 565. In O'Brian, Ibid. Vol. II. Charles Neilson, "Burgoyne's Campaign." In O'Brian, Ibid. Vol. II ). It's possible, of course, that some men from Orange County came over to the Shenandoah Valley to enlist and join the fun with Col. Morgan.

Do you know which William this is? I have another ancestor who married into the McMurry family whose brother served in Morgan's Riflemen. He was from Orange county, VA. Maybe there was more than one Morgan's Riflemen? I didn't realize that any William McMurrys were in the Orange county, VA area. Can you help me out here? Thanks. Dorles Repass
