I know that there are MURRAYs in Duplin Co, NC also. I'd be interested in any MURRAYs with first names of John, Jacob and Robert. Sarah was wife of a John MURROW in 1774. Catherine was wife of James Murrow, who died in 1760. I have the following deeds that I found in an index: Deed Book Page 1 or 1A 041 William Mercer deeded to John Marron/Murrow 3A 113 William Nethercut deed to John Murrow F 120 Zack Carter deeded to Jno(?) Murray Sr Q 031 John Murrow Sr deeded to John Murrow Jr U 341 John Murrow deed to Hogan Hunter This may not be all deeds prior to 1830. Thanks for your help. Bob Burton in Gainesville, FL
