Sandra:
I have information about later generations from Alsey Murray, if you are interested.
Jonathan Murray b. abt 1784 m. Rachel Dorris, dau of Samuel Dorris and Martha Hughes, b. abt 1785.
Theory:I believe that Jonathan emigrated at the same time as Rachel's family did. I haven't been able to confirm this nor to find anything farther back on this family.
Their children:
1. Alsey Murray, b. abt 1818, Tenn, d. Apr 26 1867, Rockport, Spencer Co., Ind.m. Mary Polly Garrison.
2. Simpson Murray, b. abt 1806, m. Catherine b.abt 1809.Simpson (age 64) and Catherine (age 61) are found on Foiuntain Co., Ind. Cain TWP, 1870 Census, with two daughters still at home: Sarah C. (19) and Rebecca A. (24).
I don't know of other children.
3. Daniel Murray, b. abt 1817, Tenn. m.1. Lucretia, b. abt 1830 in Ind.; m.2. Harriett.b. abt 1817, d. bef. 1870.
On 1860 census Daniel is found two times.Because of names and ages, I am almost sure that both are the same person.Census taken on June 15, 1860 in Pike Co, Lockhart TWP, Daniel is there as D. H. Murry at age 43 with wife, Harriett, age 43, and children:Rachael (sic) 16, Nancy 14, Jonathan W. 10, Margaret 8 and Martha A. 2.Then in Warrick Co., Tenn, Owen TWP, census taken on Aug. 15, 1860, there is Daniel H. Murry 43, wife Harriet 43, Francis E. Th---y? (can't read last name but is shown as a daughter) 23, Rachel C. 16, Nancy 14, Jonathan 11, Margaret 9 and Martha A. 2.Also living nearby in Warrick Co. was James M. Murray 21 and wife, Harriet 16.Their son?
4. Thomas Murray (no information)
5.Samuel Murray, b. abt 1821, m. Mary A. b. abt 1827.Found on 1860 census as S. D. Murry 39, Mary A. 33, sons, John 14 and William 11, daughters, Elizabeth 9, Tennessee 6, Sarah 3, Mary A. 2 mos.They are living near Samuel's sister who was married to Anderson Wicks.Living with the Wicks family was their mother Rachel Murray.Also living nearby was W. T. Dorris.
7.Elizabeth b. Oct 22, 1813 in Tenn, d. July 23, 1886 in Sumner Co., Tenn.m.1. Anderson Wicks abt 1832 in Sumner Co., m.2. Isaiah Snow Dorris on July 2, 1867 in Sumner Co.I know of only two children for this couple:Elizabeth and John (dates unknown).
