Additional Information

In the will of Jacob Murray, Rose was allowed to chose a new master for herself and her children. Murray did not want them to be sold publicly or taken away by strangers. However, Henry was later purchased by Mrs. C. Murray; if Mrs. C. Murray was Jacob Murray's wife or another close family member, it is possible Henry was still kept with his family. In the Appraisement of Property of Jacob Murray, a value of $1200.00 was placed on Rose and Harrison.

Mrs. C. Murray

In IAS Book 4, an entry under Jacob Murray's property states, "To cash recd. Wm. Nofsinger for Rose + child" with a value of $1,000.00. Because this entry is stated to be in 1862, the child mentioned is most likely Harrison, though the record does not state which of Rose's children went into the possession of William Nofsinger.
