    1. [OHGUERNS] OH connection to Murray, KY
    2. Doug and Patti Ensor
    3. I have noticed that a large number of my family immigrated to this area of OH from PA via Murray, KY which currently is in Calloway Co., KY (SW part of state). Since this is such a long way around to get from PA to OH, I am wondering if there was another Murray, KY, possibly now non-existant, in the 1790's and early 1800's that could have been part of a migration route to the US Military District. Does anyone know? The current Murray was variously known as Willistion, Pooltown, and Pleasant Hill before being incorporated as Murray in 1844. Does anyone else on this list have family that came here via Murray, KY? If you do, I would love to hear from you to try to learn why they took this route. Did they go to KY and decide they didn't like it and then move to OH? Mine were in OH 40-50 years before the Civil War so I know they didn't move north for that reason. Hoping to hear from anyone with ideas, Patti
