Trueworthy MURRAY and wife Olive Merrifield of Brunswick, ME c1800
Silver Hawk 4/12/05
After researching my family a bit more closely I find that Trueworthy's most likely brother married Olive's sister Hannah Merrifield on the same day in Shapleigh, York Co., ME in 1800.
Trueworthy's most likely brother was named John Murray...or Murry as the name was spelled in the old Shapleigh records and its spelled Murrey in the old Brunswick Vital records.
After checking the 1800 Shapleigh, York Co., ME census, I found living there in that year the following "Murry's"...
John Murry age 45 and over with 2 sons 10-15 and 1 son under 10.
William Murry age 45 and over with 3 sons 10 and under
Samuel Murry age 26-44 with 2 sons 10 and under and 1 sons 10 - 15
John Murry, Jr.age 26-44
Another Samuel Murry age 45 and over with 3 sons age 16-25 which ~might~ be Trueworthy and his brother John and then another son, the ones who married Olive and Hannah Merrifield in this same year.
Joseph Murry age 45 and over with 1 son age 16-25, 1 son 10-15
Jonathan Murry age 16-25
and Able Murry age 16-25
In my own interest I noted Several HUBBARD's which is my link to this line of Murray's and Merrifield's....Aaron Hubbard, Jonathan Hubbard, Richard Hubbard, James Hubbard and Daniel Hubbard.Other names also in this same census which link to these lines as well are Pugsley, Chick, Mace, Furbush, Goodwin, Nason (spelled Nayson), Heard and Brackett.
Other names in general are Grant, Magoon (many spellings of this name), Gowen, Gilman (spelled Gillman), Remick, Grant, Tibbetts and others.
I also noted that in the 1790 Falmouth (later Portland), Cumberland Co., ME census there was a James MURREY with 1-1-1.
In the 1800 Portland, ME census he was still there with 0-1-0-1-0 males
In the 1800 Pejepscot, Cumberland Co., ME census there was a MURRY (Murrey)? name I cannot figure out.It looks like it starts with an "A" and ends in "th" but it appears that the census taker added one of those "L's" up in the air like they did on names like Nathaniel...only they'd write it Nathn L with the flying "L" in the air.This might be a Nathaniel but the first letter does Not look like an "N" to me.
The name actually looks like Aarth or Aamth or Aanth.
The so called flying L might actually be a "T." too, its very hard for me to determine, but if you have access to the 1800 Pejepscot, ME census, look at it. This man whomever he was, was in the 45 and over age category.
1800 Bath, Lincoln Co., ME had a Patrick MURREY.
