Looking for any information on the following:
Anthony Murray (born 1786) His grave stone states he is from County Monaghan. Married:
Mary Mulligan-I believe died before 1850.
children John (b-1816); Michael (b-1819); Mary (b-1830?). And Margaret (born 1830?).
they immigrated to Michigan before 1860.
any help would be appreciated! Thx
Didn't see any birth/marriage records for this family at rootsireland.ie. But there were two Anthony Murrays listed as head of household in Co. Monaghan in the 1858-1860 Griffith's Valuation:
| Griffith | Murray | Anthony | Lisnakeeny | Magheracloone | Co. Monaghan | |
| Griffith | Murray | Anthony | Town Of Monaghan | Monaghan | Co. Monaghan |
I hope this is helpful.
A little more...
Anth[ony] and Thomas Murray lived in the townland of Crossreagh, parish of Killeavan, in Tithe Applotment Books in 1825:

In the 1796 Flax Growers List, many Murrays were listed including:
Murray Anthony Tehallan Monaghan
Thanks Patricia for the info! It doubt he is the Anthony in Griffiths valuation, due to being in the 1860 census in michigan. But the other info gives me something to do more research on.
