To Terry Doyle, Terry, My Murray's are from Scotland/England. I've found most of them up until around 1900. I'm still trying to find "off shoots" of the Scot Murray family there after 1900. The Murray families in Lafayette Co. can be very confusing! There were the Murrays from Ireland and my Murray family. My Great Grandparents had a total of 17 children. Only fifteen lived to be adults. Put that many of my Murray family with the several different immigrants from Ireland and it makes a confusing picture! Let me know if you find any Murrays who don't seem to fit into your family and maybe I could rule them out for you. My family was farming around the Northeast corner of the county (Wiota township). Thanks for the response! John
