I will have to go back to my notes but as I recall, there was an deed or estate file in NC on either old Thomas McMurray or one of his sons dated 1770 which names John McMurray "of Georgia" as one of heirs. Some early researchers suspect that John may have moved to the area of GA that became Oglethorpe Co., but as far as I know there has been no info found to prove this. In Oglethorpe Co. GA in 1799 an Andrew McMurry married Elizabeth Callahan and in 1800 a James McMurry married Rebecca Callahan. Elizabeth and Rebecca were daughters of William Callahan previously of Rutherford Co. NC who moved to GA in the late 1780's. It is not known who the parents of the McMurrys were. Andrew apparently died before 1820 and James moved to Lauderdale Co. AL where he and Rebecca died.
