General Notes: Husband - George Murray

---

His parents dying when he was quite young, he and his sister Mary were reared in the home of their maternal uncle, Thomas Johnston, of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, afterward of near Mercersburg. There he grew to manhood and acquired the trade of cabinet maker. Seeking his fortune in western Pennsylvania, he settled at Darlington. After he had been there a short time he came to Washington County, to attend the marriage of Rev. David Imbrie and Miss Jane Reed. Shortly afterward he returned for the bridesmaid and took her back as his bride. In 1811 he disposed of his town property in Darlington, came to Washington County and purchased a farm called "Lovely Banks," two miles northeast of Canonsburg (a part of which became Van Eman Station). He improved this place by building a large brick house and frame barn on it (later owned by Mr. Greer). Afterward he bought several adjoining tracts of land.
