I know this isn't Madison county but I never heard from anyone there. Can anyone shed some light on the good Captain....see the following: I have come across an entry in the Madison county tax book Volume 1, 1821-1830. I have found several surnames I am interested in under the notation: Capt. Murchison's Company Esq. Butler Could someone please explain?
