In my haste I forgot to mention that the son of Murdock was supposedly born at sea. This may have relevance in that the Port Royal and Court House area of King George Co, Va is where the Longmires worked and lived in the 1730's and 1740's. There were many Scotish merchants from that area trading and buying Va property. Since there is scant evidence on who raised the 3 underage sons of Wm Longmire d. 1749 I am hoping that a clue as to the later whereabouts of Murdock might lead to further clues pertaining to the Longmire boys, two of which are known to have married and had children in St James Northam Parish in the late 1760's.
