The 1800 Randolph Co. NC Census shows both an ELIJAH MURROUI and an ALEXANDER MURROUI and it appears from the enumerations of ALEXANDER MURROUI ( 10010 - 0001o - 00 ) that the enumerations correspond to the ages of my BARBARA JULIAN b. bet. 1778 - 1781 born in Randolph Co. NC and her husband listed by our Murray family as ALEXANDER MURRAY b. abt. 1775 in Randolph Co. NC .
Barbara Julian and Alexander Murray's first child was JOHN A. MURRAY b. abt. 1799 Randolph Co. NC and so the male son is in the same category on this 1800 Randolph Co. NC census as would have been Barbara and Alexander Murray's son then.
Can anyone help me with this MURRAY family spelled as MURROURI on the 1800 Randolph Co. NC Census ? I believe this is the same family as my GGG Grandparents BARBARA JULIAN MURRAY and ALEXANDER MURRAY.
The Murray family oral history says that Alexander's father was JAMES MURRAY of VA.
" ALEXANDER was born in Randolph Co. VA "
( think they mean NORTH CAROLINA as no county is named RANDOLPH in VA. some have listed that Alexander Murray was born about 1775 in Randolph Co. NC, but so far no one has given any verfications for him. I have not been able to find more on the name of Alexander Murray who would have been a single male, in either North Carolina or Tennessee that would fit his age, to have married Barbara Julian. - Tina Rogers Beller, Dec. 27, 2006 )
" BARBARY was born the same. " (* Barbara Julian born in RANDOLPH CO. NORTH CAROLINA between 1778-1781 ).
" ALEXANDER a son of JAMES MURRAY of VA. "
"JAMES MURRAY's father came from England to PA. in an early day. "
" JAMES MURRAY had 4 children by first wife namely IRVIN boy ALEXANDER; ELIXY ( went to IND. ) ; ELIZABETH and POLLY were reared in VA after JAMES MURRAY moved to WASHINGTON Co. TENN. and reared up a large family by his second wife. Some of their names were JOHN ; WILLIAM ; and JAMES. "
" BARBARY ( JULIAN ) MURRAY was a daughter of RENNE JULIAN and ( Miss ALLRED ) JULIAN, her given name not known. RENNE JULIAN came from PA. to VA. His father came from France to PA. the first settling of America. RENNE JULIAN had one brother living in VA., named ISAAC. He had a family of 9 children namely, TOBAS, BOHANNEN, ISAAC, JACOB, RENNY, SHUBAL, NELLIE, POLLY, PATSY. "
" RENNE and MISS ALLRED JULIAN had a family of 8 children, STEVEN, JOHN, RENNE, ISAAC, PATENTS ( Patience ) , MIRIM, BARBARY, BETSY, ( Renne were buried in Lucas Co. IOWA ) . ISAAC died in GREEN( E ) Co. MO. STEVEN died in MO. "
Per descendants of the ELIJAH MURRAY ( MURROUI ) they told me that ELijah had moved to INDIANA same as our ELIXI written by the older Male MURRAY family member who wrote the history of our family. We also know that some of Barbara Julians family also moved to same county in Indiana where their ELIJAH MURRAY had moved to. This seems to be too much of a coincidence and no one can tell us more on the MURRAY of RANDOLPH CO. NC and hoping that some of you who read this and may have MURRAYS in your lines out of Randolph Co. NC may have more info on the MURRAYS there than we do.
We know that BARBARA JULIANS parents were RENE JULIAN and wife CATHERINE ALLRED of RANDOLPH CO. NC who left there and were in KNOX Co. TN by about 1795 - 1796. Later BARBARA MURRAY is found on the 1830 Monroe Co. TN census, and we found land deeds in that region and in McMinn Co. TN of an ALEXANDER MURRAY. We believe that Alexander Murray had died before 1830 when Barbara Murray is the living with the remaining children at home and no husband whom we believed had died by then. No further land records or petitions in name of Alexander Murray are found in that region of TN after about 1823 and the last child of Barbara Julian Murray and Alexander Murray was born in about 1819. So that indicates to our Murray researchers that possibly our Alexander Murray had died in TN around 1823 or 1822.
Any help appreciated.
