Quick Overview: Our MURRAY family immigrated from Scotland to Pennsylvania in the late 1700s and the maternal side from Ireland, France, and Germany. In 1889, our 2nd great grandfather Hiram Oscar MURRAY married our 2nd great grandmother (Mayflower Descendant) Beulah Agnes "Anna" WINSLOW. Beulah is a direct descendant of the first Plymouth, Massachusetts, colonists who arrived in 1620 fleeing religious persecution in England.
Our Mayflower great grandparents (English Separatists) include Mayflower Compact Signers; William BRADFORD, William BREWSTER, John ALDEN, Thomas ROGERS, and William MULLINS. William BRADFORD was also the 1st Governor of Plymouth and served for 31 years. The historical information available for this branch of our family tree is abundant and interesting. We also have an 11th Great Grandmother, Ann FOSTER, who died in prison during the Salem Witch Trials, in an effort to save her daughter Mary LACEY, and granddaughter. Ann's father was an elder in Plymouth, George ALCOCK.
Civil War and American Revolution Soldiers: Our 3rd great grandfather, John MURRAY, Jr., and 4th great grandfather, Henry LARGHEY, served in the Civil War (Union, Pennsylvania). Our 5th great grandfathers, Carpenter WINSLOW, Sr., William B. KEENE, and 6th great grandfathers, Reuben Colburn, and Wait WADSWORTH, all served in the American Revolutionary War.
Mayflower Direct Descendants: We have made every effort to note all of our ancestors (below) that are directly related to the Mayflower Passengers. Please contact us if we have missed someone.
