Mike:
The story we have is that my ancestor came across an "english soldier" beating a man for poaching birds, somehow he intervened and as a result the soldier died. He is said to have escaped to America with his 3 yr old son in about 1730 in order to avoid the repercussions of this act (an Irishman or Anglo-Irishman killing an Englishman). There are several garbled versions throughout the various lines but that is the "bare bones" of the tale. Other stories say he was a "Sir" with lands and property...however research has not verified that part of the story. More than likely he was a manager or something similar for a "Sir", or even a distant kin of gentry. What is your "murder" story?
