A search for anyone with parents named Murrah and Gurley did not find Eliza. The whole family is on the 1860 census in Pickens Co, AL, all children born in AL. Eliza born about 1856. I would get in touch with the person who posted the information on Find a Grave for Stella. They must know something about the family because the names of Stella's parents do not show on her death certificate. Happy Hunting (^_^)
