Ace Crawford, would you by any chance related to my late grandfather Allie Reece Murray Sr, or his mother Denicey Crawford?
Robert Reece Murray
Was talking to my mother today about her grandmother & grandfather Sarah Crawford Murray & Wiley Murray. Got to looking on Murray Cemetery Sullivan County TN. Not too many relatives who can fill me in. Have an aunt in PA who might remember some things. Thank you for what you posted. Are you on Facebook? If you are I’m Carolyn Lawson in Fall Branch, TN. also phone 423-348-6894.
I hope you see this. Your John “wiley” Murray and Sarah Murray were part of the large Murray/Crawford family in the Blairs Gap area of Sullivan county Tn. Wiley is buried in the cemetery at Solomons Temple church on Lone Star rd and I imagine Sarah is as well. My grandparents Allie Reece Murray Sr and Rhonda (Morgan) Murray used to talk about relatives, I believe App Murray was one, who had moved to Pennsylvania.
Robert Reece Murray
Carolyn Mullins Lawson. I’m Robert Murray from Knoxville. My dad was Allie Reece Murray Jr. Aka Reece and my grandparents were Allie Reece sr and Rhonda (Morgan) Murray. My great grandfather was Roll or Roley, who is buried on Lone Star rd in the Mullins Cemetery with his first wife Emma Conkin. I’m thinking about driving up p today (March 30, 2021) to take a look at this cemetery and also to Jonesboro to theold Isaac Murray cemetery. I may have some info on Wiley and Sarah Murray in my family tree on Ancestry.com but I’ll have to look. If I find anything I’ll let you know though.
