My GG Grandparents were RENNE MURRAY b. 1801 who md. ANNA ELLIOTT b. 1801 on Aug. 16, 1822 in KNOX CO. TN. WE know that after they married in Knox Co. TN they moved to McMinn Co. TN and lived on land that is in the HIWASSEE LAND DEEDS, until they then moved to RUTHERFORD CO. TN where other ELLIOTTS and MURRAY also lived. Anna Elliott died about 1832-1835 in Gibson Co. TN and we need to find her family of ELLIOTTS. In doing the research the Murray families oral history is that ANNA ELLIOTTS family spelled their surname as ELIOT and were military men of VA. However, we cannot yet prove that and the clues are scant except for her having married in Knox Co. TN to Renne Murray of Monroe Co. TN. The ELLIOTT famlies of RUTHERFORD CO. TN living there when Anna Elliott Murray did are listed below in Wills of Rutherford Co. TN and hopefully someone can find a listing amongst these families of our ANNA ELLIOTT. Thanks for any help.

Believe these are from Vol. II but failed to write down the exact years from this book but as Vol. I is up to 1828 I recall this is from Vol. II which included the years of 1835, through at least until 1840.

( I believe that the McGREGOR mentioned may be out of the line of WILLIAM McGREGOR Sr. b. abt, 1730 in Scotland or Ireland who migrated down through Virginia to Montgomery Co. NC and later generations of McGregor family migrated from Montgomery Co. NC into WARREN CO. TN, but more verifications need to be done to prove these are same McGREGORS of SCOTLAND/ IRELAND to Montgomery Co. NC etc. ).
My direct line is ANNA ELLIOTT b. Dec. 20, 1801 TN. who md. RENNE MURRAY b. May 25, 1801 NC / TN. They married on Aug. 06, 1822 in Knox Co. TN and then moved to McMinn Co. TN. Oral history within my Murray family stated that ANNA ELLIOTTS family were spelled as ELIOT and may have been military line of Eliot family of VA, but we have no verificaitons to prove that. ANNA ELLIOTT MURRAY is my GG GRANDMOTHER. We know Anna Elliott Murray and Renne Murray are shown on the 1830 Rutherford Co. TN Census as RENNE MOURY family. They are then found in Gibson Co. TN by 1832 and Anna Elliott Murray died sometime between 1832 -1835 in Gibson Co. TN. Any help finding ANNA ELLIOTTS family in Rutherford Co. TN or Knox Co. TN would be appreciated. Anna Elliot named one of her last sons ALFRED HARVEY MURRAY born January 11, 1832 in Gibson Co. TN and it is possible he had a younger brother too named JOHN H. MURRAY b. abt. 1834 TN. Could it be that Anna Elliott Murray was naming her sons after her brothers or other relatives in Rutherford Co. TN by name of ALFRED and JOHN ELLIOTT ? Just a thought, but it does seem to fit the naming patterns within the ELLIOTT families of RUTHERFORD CO. TN where Anna Elliott Murray had lived up until her move to Gibson Co. TN in 1832.
