Second Generation

3. William McMurtrey CF111p56-59 1768 (Samuel) was born on 25 Apr 1768. He died on 31 Jul 1839 in Castor, Madison Co, Mo.

William McMurtrey (Samuel, Alexander) Occupation: Minister and Farmer.

(born, 25 Apr 1768, Virginia. Evidence found so far indicate place of birth was probably in Augusta

County, Virginia, in area that became Botetourt County; died,31 Jul 1839, Madison County, Missouri. He

married about 1788, Sarah McCord, (born, 22 Nov 1773, North Carolina (1850, US Census., Madison Co.

, MO, NA mf#M432-405, p.214). died 17 Aug 1856, Madison County, Missouri), daughter of James

McCord and Jane Scroggs or Scruggs. William and Sarah are buried McMurtrey Cemetery, located

South West quarter, Section 10, Township 33, North Range 8 East, on former property of William

McMurtrey. (Headstones, personal visit to cemetery) Probate of estate, 4 Nov 1839, Madison County,

Missouri.

The 1790 Federal census of Abbeville, South Carolina shows William McMurtrey with 1 male under age

16, 1 male 16 upwards and 2 females. (Note: Completion of the 1790 census of South Carolina was

extended to 1 March 1792, but actually completed 2 February 1792. This is explained in Kay Kirkhan's

book, "Survey American Census Schedules",

p.16.( Deseret Book Co.: Utah; 1959) The 1790 schedule would then reflect the birth of son William

Martin, December 1790, as the male child under age 16.

William was not found on the 1800 census of Abbeville, South Carolina. Sometime after daughter

Elizabeth was born in April of 1799, William must have moved his family north. Land and census records

indicate he traveled to Barren County, Kentucky and Jackson County, Tennessee. The 1850 census for

Madison County, Missouri has place of birth for daughter, Mary Madeline, as Tennessee, ca1801. The

1850 census for Yell County, Arkansas has place of birth for daughter, Melissa, as Tennessee, ca 1807.

Land records of Barren County, Kentucky, show that for the years of 1810, 1811 and 1812, William and

Sarah's place of residence was Jackson County, Tennessee. ("Deeds of Sale" Barren Co., KY Deed Bk.

C, pgs. 301-2, 307, 320-21; Family History Library microfilm 209720; Salt Lake City, UT. Writer has

copies.) Daughter, Sarah, married Samuel B. Jinings, in Monroe, Overton County, Tennessee, 5

September 1814. ("Declaration of Samuel Jennings," resident Woodford Co., IL, 16 June 1855, purpose

obtaining Bounty Land for service in War of 1812; File no. 192,599, National Archives and Records

Service, Washington, DC. Writer has photocopy.) These dates seem to firmly place William, Sarah and

family in Tennessee from 1801-1814. Unfortunately early records from Jackson County, Tennessee are

severely lacking. Due to courthouse fire, probate and marriage records do not begin until 1870 and the

land records not until 1872. When, or if William, lived in Kentucky is unknown at this time. In 1800 the

southern border of Barren County bordered on the Tennessee line of Smith County. In 1801 Jackson

County was formed out of Smith and it now bordered Barren. In 1806 Overton County, was created from

lands in the eastern part of Jackson County and from lands of the Indian Reservation, making part of it's

northern border Barren County, Kentucky.

First land record found for William in Missouri was 9 December 1818. William was in Cape Girardeau

County, at the county seat at Jackson. Here he entered into an agreement with a John Taggart, of

Sainte Genevieve County to build a set of Mills on the shoal of Castor River where Taggart's Mill was

standing. This was to be a Grist Mill and a Saw Mill located in the west half of the south west quarter of

section ten, township thirty-three, north of range eight east. This land was bought from the state of

Missouri and is

located in Madison County, Missouri. The first purchase of land entered in the Land Records of Madison

County, Missouri was on 13 July 1819. William eventually owned 400 acres. In 1836 he sold to son

William Martin, the forty acres he first acquired from the State of Missouri, for $400.00. All his land

holdings were in Township 33 (Castor) and in sections three, four and ten. These are found in the

northeast corner of Madison County that borders Bollinger County today. The McMurtrey cemetery that

was found is located on the original land that was bought from the State of Missouri and sold to son

William Martin. At death of William Martin, his wife Catherine sold the land to John Hahn in 1866.

County map today shows location of the old Hahn Mill. There are two cemeteries located near old mill

site, Hahn and McMurtrey. Hahn Cemetery is near county road and McMurtrey Cemetery is located

about one quarter of a mile from county road.

The following is taken from Goodspeed's History of Southeast Missouri (org. pub. 1888, repr. 1990;

Greenville, SC; Southern Historical Press, pgs. 564-65).

Christian Church.---That class of believers known as Disciples of Christ or Christians originated in that

great wave of religious awakening which swept over the country at about the beginning of the present

century. At very nearly the same time Elders B.W. Stone in Kentucky and Thomas and Alexander

Campbell

in Pennsylvania, all formerly of the Presbyterian Church, began preaching the doctrines of what has

since been denominated the Christian Church, but at first termed by outsiders "Campbellite" or "Stoneite."

The original purpose of these reformers was to heal the divisions in the religious world, and to establish a

common basis of Christian union. This was to be accomplished by taking the expressed teachings of the

Bible as the only creed. The interpretation of these teachings, however, it was found could not be left to

the individual, and the doctrines of baptism by immersion and baptism for the remission of sins became

the distinctive features of this new sect. Churches were rapidly formed, and the new teachings spread

into nearly all of the States, but gained an especially strong foothold in Kentucky and Tennessee. The

first teacher of the new faith in Missouri was Rev. William McMurtry, a carpenter by trade, who came

from Virginia in the year 1819, and located in Madison County. In 1822 he organized a church in a log

schoolhouse, at what is now the village of Libertyville. It was formed with three members, which four

years later had increased to only nine.

The probate files, of William McMurtrey and son William Martin McMurtrey,are held at the courthouse in

Fredericktown, Madison County, Missouri. William McMurtrey left a will but only son William Martin and

a granddaughter, Jane Brown of Arkansas were named. She was to receive a horse. It was the following

instructions he left for the division of his slaves that brought about the list of children.

"It is my will and desire that my slaves shall remain and reside

with and at the residence of my son William M. McMurtrey for and during

my natural life and for and during the natural life of my wife Sarah

McMurtrey-------. At my decease and the decease of my said wife, or as

soon thereafter as the situation of my estate will permit, my slaves are

to be divided equally amongst my children--------."

After Sarah's death in 1856, son William Martin began seeking his siblings or

their heirs. The following names of the children were listed among the papers in sons probate packet.

i. Jane McMurtrey.

ii. William Martin McMurtrey.

iii. Sarah McMurtrey.

iv. Margaret McMurtrey.

From PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL ALBUM OF WOODFORD COUNTY,

ILLINOIS; Chicago:

Chapman Bros.; 1889----William was eighteen years old when the family moved to

Tennessee. He had learned the trade of a blacksmith of his father, and followed

that trade in Overton County, Tennessee, until 1827, when he emigrated to

Illinois, accompanied by his wife and eight children. The removal was made with

teams, starting the 7th of June, and arriving at Twin Grove, McLean County,

several weeks later. Four other families accompanied them, and they camped out

on the way when night overtook them. William bought a squatter's claim to a

tract of land in Twin Grove, and there being no buildings on it, he at once

erected a log cabin, splitting puncheon for the floor and making clapboards for

the roof and door. There were no settlements in McLean County then, except in

the groves, and the land was nearly all owned by the Government. On the present

site of Bloomington, was one log cabin, the only habitation far and near.

There were no flouring mills in that section of the country at that time, the

only mill of any description being a corn-cracker at Twin Grove, operated by

horse-power. The principal diet of the pioneers was corn meal and wild game.

William commenced at once to clear a part of the grove, and the following year

raised a crop of corn, planting it the 1st of June, and it ripened and made a

good crop. He was unable to enter the land, and when it came into the market it

was entered by other parties, and for that reason in 1831, he vacated the place,

and came to what is now Woodford County, and made a claim before the land was

surveyed in what is now called Greene Township. He built a log house on the

place, which is still standing,(1889) and is probably the oldest building now in

the county. When the land came into the market he entered it at the land office

at Danville. He built a shop on the place, and worked at his trade a part of

the time, and devoted the remainder to the task of improving a farm until his

death. he was a man of sterling principles, and possessed excellent qualities

of head and heart, and by his death an upright citzen and a kind neighbor, was

lost to his community, and his family were deprived of a good husband and

father.
