There were so many Murdoch MacLeod's along with Alexander, Donald etc. The Scottish people were so good at passing 1st names on and sometimes it can be a help but also a hindrance. So far, I do not think any of my Murdoch's will connect with yours. My first one is Dr Murdoch MacLeod b. abt 1742 in Rigg, Scotland and he married Mary MacLean abt 1770 and they did go to North Carolina but returned to Scotland in 1784 after the War as he was a UEL. This one died in North Uist about 1810. #2 was born abt. 1784 and he married Marion MacLeod but I have this Murdoch's Will and he died in March 1822. #3. Was born in 1831 and he went to Aus. and married Lizzy Robertson there. #4 He was named Murdoch Donald and he was born abt. 1851 and died in 1908 in Yorkshire, Eng. where he was a doctor. This one married Isa Janet Marjoribanks but they had no family. So far, I have never found any of mine that went to the U.S.A. and stayed there. I'm still looking as it is such a familiar name in Scotland. Good Luck
