My gggrandfather was Wilson Murray, who I believe was from Maine, but was a carpenter in Boston in the 1850s. Married Elizabeth Carson, also of Maine.

On 28 July 1856, they had triplets, Henry Wison Murray, Benjamin Franklin Murray and Charles Sumner Murray in Boston.

Henry, my ggrandfather, moved to California. Lived in Napa, CA area. HIs son Albert married Aura Gregory Bailey and they lived in Oakdale, CA.

Does anyone have any info? I have a picture of Wilson, Elizabeth and the boys June of 1859. Would love to share info.

My name is Richard Carson i'am doing a family tree on the Carsons from Maine. Any help would be good if you have any pictures of the Carson family please send copys to

dlcarx1@netzero.net Thanks Dick

Todd,
If Wilson Murray and Eliza Murray Longworthy (misspelled Longwerthy in the 1860 Boston Census) are siblings like I suspect, we are related. I know a little bit about the Murray family if you would like to email me and I would love to see your family photo of Wilson, Elizabeth and the boys.
I see that your posting is old, but I hope to hear from you.
Annette

Annette-thank you for your response. Almost forgot I had posted this. I haven't made any progress on the Maine Murrays and would love to know something. I know only that he was apparently born in Maine (probably between 1826 and 1836)and was in Boston in 1860. His wife (Elizabeth Carson of Maine)and he had the triplets. The later census' show the boys at at a work farm/school on an island near Boston (I don't have this info in front of me, but can provide along with the picture if you determine we're connected.)
I don't know about Wilson's parents or siblings. His wife and four sons later moved back to Maine and show up in a later census there. She is listed as a widow.

I hope we are connected and you can shed some light on this dead end. Thanks, Todd

Todd, I'm glad that you wrote back. I found an article re. the three boys printed in 1880! I found something also about the boys finishing up their 9 years at the Farm and Trades School in Boston. In 1880 they were all attending the State Agricultural College at Orono, Maine. Their father enlisted in the war of Rebellion and died at New Orleans. I know that "my" Eliza Murray Longworthy and William E. Longworthy were living with Wilson's family in 1860, I just can't prove they are brother and sister, or cousins? young uncle? I'm still looking. I would love to see the photo no matter if we can prove it at this time. I have more info on the Murray family. Could you please email me direct? grantandannette@hotmail.com Annette

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. (Like a few years ago). I do have a picture of Mrs Wilson Murray who I believe was a Carson from Maine. I can send if I can get your email. Thanks. Todd Murray
