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. This child was most likely Harrison since the record previously stated that Henry went to Mrs. C. Murray.
