Hello Angela,
I wish I could tell you more about Major McMurry.I don't know his given name, unit to which he was attached or anything about his family.All I know concerns his final resting place(s).The final one is the reason for my special interest in him.
He died in September (17?)1862. He was Reburied from Sharpsburg to Greenmount Cemetery, Baltimore, August 31,1863. He was then reburied again on "Confederate Hill," Loudon Park Cemetery in Baltimore June 3, 1896 in plot G-03.
We are conducting a "restoration" project at Confederate Hill.Maj. McMurry is one of many with an unreadable marker.If you would like to know more about this project, please contact me through my e-mail address at [email protected].
I hope this has been of some help to you.Good luck with your future research.
Sincerely,
Steve Smith
