This tax list from 1827 shows Charles, William and Thomas Murrie in Henry County, TN. (Murrie is spelled Murry in this document but the "ie" version appears in other documents of the period.) Murries and Redens (Redding) left Caswell County, NC in the early 1820s. Charles Murrie bought land in Henry County, TN in 1826. William Murrie may have been the first of the Murries to move West. The 1820 census for Humphrey County TN lists a William Murrie. It is not clear if this is the William Murrie from our family. The "ie" spelling of Murrie is used but no other connections could be found.
