William Murkerson Line Descendant thru son John T.
This is the first time that I have looked at the messages on the Murkerson Forum.I was surprised and happy to see part of one of my lines listed.I connect to William Murkerson from a different child than the one that has been discussed so thoroughly.If anyone would like more information on this line below, I am more than happy to share it.
I do have one tidbit of family lore associated with my line.The son John T. Murkerson, supposedly had several sons that in adulthood, had a family feud (so to speak).The sons went there separate ways and refused to speak to each other.These sons, changed the spelling of their last name.Therefore I have Merkison, Merkerson, Murkison, Murkerson, Murkurson, Mirkerson, and Merkurson as different variations to the name in my files and on documents.
Does anyone know who William MURKERSONs parents were or where exactly he was born at?Below is a descendant chart as how I am descended from William Martin Murkerson.I would love to have any additions available or corrections.
Any help on this line would be greatly appreciated.Happy hunting.
