I am hoping to find more about the ancestry of William Murray who married Ann Leslie, daughter of John Leslie of Tirkernaghan, Donagheady parish and Katherine McCausland. She was baptized 4 Nov 1714. He got Coolermoney and Stoneypath, Leckpatrick parish and Stragullin, Camus parish as a marriage portion. Their son William Murray became William Murray of Silver Brook, Tirkernaghan, Donagheady Parish. William and Ann Murray seemed to reside elsewhere as I see him referred to as William Murray of Dublin in a number of cases and William Murray of Little Rath, Westmeath in a couple of other cases. Does anyone know more about him?
I am wondering if he is of the Murrays of Caw House, Londonderry. The famous Colonel Adam Murray of the Londonderry siege fame had a son James Murray who married Anne, daughter of Thomas Patterson, Provost of Strabane. James is said to have had two sons of which his eldest, Adam Murray, became of Bloom Hill, County Tyrone by right of his wife. Could William Murray have been the other son of James Murray and Anne Patterson? Best wishes! Peter
