Hello Peter, It seems that there have not been any responses to your post, so shall offer the little knowledge that I am aware of. Have you access to William Roulston’s “Three Centuries of Life in a Tyrone Parish: A History of Donagheady from 1600 to 1900”? This brilliant 400 page work contains a great amount of information re. parish families in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, including the Murrays with references to the Registry of Deeds, Dublin. I am unable to lay my hands on my copy, but it is available as an ebook https://cotyroneireland.com/estore/index.php?detailrecid=15 The link also contains an 8 page surname list.
Hope this is helpful, Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Peter Kincaid via CoTyroneList Sent: Friday, 3 May 2019 6:40 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Peter Kincaid Subject: [CoTyroneMailingList] William Murray of Donagheady/Leckpatrickparishes 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
