95169: Roderick Murray

Roderick (born 1799) was the son of Alexander Murray and Margaret Macdonald; it is not known where the family were living at the time of his birth. By November 1820 an Alexander Murray appears on the sub-tenants list of Old South Tolsta Tack, but as two Alexander Murrays obtained crofts in 1830 it is not clear which of them was there earlier.

He married Margaret Stewart, of 22 Old Coll, but it is not clear where the couple settled or where their first child was born.

In 1830, during the croft lottings, the family obtained 11 Old North Tolsta and his parents obtained 6 Old South Tolsta at the same time. Once settled at 11 Old North Tolsta the couple had a further nine children.

In 1851 the family emigrated to the Eastern Townships of Quebec.
