Alexander John Murray

1793 - 1843  (49 years)

• Name	Alexander John Murray
  Relationship	with Gustave Jean Baptiste Pitard
  Born	12 Jun 1793	West River, Anne Arundel Co., Maryland
  Gender	Male
  Died	16 Feb 1843
  Buried	Christ Episcopal Church, Owensville, Anne Arundel Co., Maryland
  Notes	From the Maryland Gazette: "Murray, Alexander J., of West River, A.A. Co., and Mary, fourth daughter of Jonas Clapham, Esq., of Balto. were married 10th inst., in the latter city, by Rev. Dr. Wyatt" (May 18, 1837)." (S208, 134). The census for 1850 gives two sons named William--I assume the older one is a son by his Alexander's first marriage. The younger, Mary Clapham's son, is Captain Murray, who was 24 when he died at Gettsyburg.
