I may be able to help you with where to look for McMurtrie information, if you haven't found it already. The McMurtrie family came from Sussex County, New Jersey to Sugarloaf Township in Luzerne County around 1810. They were from Scotland originally. Joseph McMutrie's wife was an Aten, a sister of my 3rd great-grandmother Catherine Aten Barnes from Northampton County, Pa. Many of the early Sugarloaf Township settlers were from those two counties. You may check out the Lower Luzerne County Pa. website and read the early history of Sugarloaf Township; also check the bios on Luzerne County GenWeb. Hope this helps. Bonnie Barnes Worley
