Mike (and group), In reference to your question >2. I am looking for how to get to the orginal family farm of the Murdock's... I have had very good success getting information and maps from Naomi Lowe at this address. Marshall County Historical & Genealogical Society Attn: Naomi Lowe 1310 Sixth Street Moundsville, WV 26041 She has been a great resource for me and even came up with a plat map of Marshall showing the location of my ancestor's land. Everything is paid for by donation to the society. She has done research for me and suggested a very reasonable donation amount. Maybe you will have good luck also by writing to her.
