1. Andrew McMurtrie, b. ca. 1671
Children:
1 2. William McMurtrie 1701, b. 24 April 1701 at Dailly. Ayr, Sct
2. William McMurtrie 1701, b. 24 April 1701 at Dailly. Ayr, Sct
Born 21 April 1701 per bible, baptised 24 April 1701 per parish register.
Possibly is the William died Bogside, Maybole 1766 (son Hugh) per Glasgow Commisariot.
This document refers to a debt (owed to or by William) and is not a will which would explain
why the other children of William are not named.
The Maybole location is plausible based on the fact that his daughter Janet had children in
Maybole with John Dick between 1756 and 1779.
William McMurtrie of Woodhead, was witness to the birth of Ann McMurtrie, daughter of Robert McMurtrie
of Blair, Kirkoswald,not far from Woodhead. Robert md 1738 to Bessie McMurtrie of Girvan, may have lived
at Trees, Maybole after their marriage, but definitely moved to Blair and then back to Dailly. See
narrative for more information about this Robert. Robert may have been a brother of William.
Children:
1 3. John McMurtrie, b. 17 January 1727
Though John appears in the family bible, he does not appear in the birth registers.
Possibly John was a child by a first marriage based on the 9 year gap between his birth
and that of his younger sister.

ca. 1769

4. William McMurtrie 1751, b. 30 May 1751, m. Martha
Brackenridge, 21 February 1774 at Irvine, Ayr, Sct
Jean/Janet Boyd, the great-granddaughter of Hugh b 1743 wrote a letter that said the family bible
indicated that William b 1751 was a grandson of William b 1701, but indicated no father's name.
The will of Andrew identifies William, shoemaker of Kilmarnock, as a brother. We suspect that
William b 1751 is a brother and have placed him as such here. See narrative for more information
about this family.
William was born either in Kilmarnock (based on Janet Boyd's letter) or Maybole (based on the evidence
that William Sr was in Maybole between 1748 and 1766, but his birth is not recorded in either place. it
seems morely likely that he was born in Maybole because he was married in Irvine, not Kilmarnock, and
came to Kilmarnock after the birth of at least two of his children and since we think his father William
was in Maybole in 1748 and 1766,and since there seems to be a gap in the Maybole parish register between
1749 and 1753.
3. John McMurtrie, b. 17 January 1727
Children:
2 8. John McMurtrie 1753, b. ca. 1753 at Roughforth, Co Antrim, NIR
Roughforth has not been located; so we wonder if this might be Loughforth.
