Most of the McMurry's were spelled as such in Cleveland Co. J.J. McMurry was on the 1880 census in Sandy Run, Township No. 7. ED 71, p2/569B: J.J. McMurry, 31, farmer, b NC Margaret, 34, housekeeper, b NC A.S., 10, son A.W., 7, son H.E., 5, daughter. You might check the 1880 Manufacturers' census to see if McMurry store is listed or look for ads in microfilmed editions of The New Era published in Shelby. There are issues from 1887-1889 on microfilm.
