This tax list from 1844 lists Deborah Murrie and James Murrie in district #6. Deborah Murrie was the widow of Charles Murrie. She died in 1845. James Murrie was her grandson. It is likely that he was the son of Thomas Murrie although it is possible that he was the son of William Murrie. Thomas Murrie had moved Johnson County, IL in the late 1830s and William Murrie moved to Massac County about 1840-1841. James Murrie moved to Massac County about 1852. He died in 1872 and is buried in Murray Cemetery just outside of Metropolis. Some of his descendants still live in Massac County.
