Keith Murray 10/23/05
A couple of followups seven years later: Wilson Murray died November 18, 1851, and is buried in Seagraves Cemetery, Bond County, Illinois, with with rest of the family. An old stone fragment is there. And James Monroe Murray was married three times, not twice. His first wife, Bailey Sandifer, disappeared. Family lore says she was tired of his jealousy and headed off "across the water," presumably the Mississippi River. His second wife, Eleanor Watkins/Illinois Wadkins, died. His third wife was Elizabeth Crowder.
