We know that William Mahaffey had a daughter named Sarah, b. 16 June 1817
in Washington Parish Louisiana.
The naming
patterns in Sarah Murray's family are so similar and fit in with
other descendants of William Mahaffey.
The Murrays do not
know who Sarah is, and would sure like to fit her in the puzzle.
They do have information

Per Susan: Where
in relationship to the Mahaffey's did the Murray's live? Check census
records
Check cemetery records,
many times the deceased females are shown with maiden names included, or
at least an initial of
their maiden name.
Richard Neely has
a wonderful site of Simpson
Co Cemeteries, but it does not include a search engine, so it would
take time
to check through
each cemetery for the names, but might be well worth that time,
if there is a remote possibility that they
resided in Simpson
Co. |
