Notes

In a 1993 letter, Grace (Mrs. Pomroy) Murray, Charles' daughter-in-law, wrote that Charles & Elizabeth had seven sons and one daughter. The daughter died at birth or was stillborn. She names the sons as follows: Major, Wesley, Richard, Nelson, Wellington, Walburton, & Pomroy. Regarding Victoria Hattie [whom as I show as Major's daughter], Grace simply wrote, "According to what I heard, Victoria was no relation to the Murrays, but was adopted when she was an infant.

According to "An Island Refuge - Loyalist and Disbanded Troops on the Island of Saint John" (Prince Edward Island was at one time called St. John.) : p. 298- ". . . Elizabeth and Charles lived in the old Murray home at Frederickton. Charles was a trustee, and elder of Breadalbane Christian Church for many years. . . Seven boys were born to them at Frederickton. About 1903 they moved to Breadalbane, where Charles, who appears to have been somewhat of a millwright, operated a saw mill. His son, Nelson took over operation of the farm at Frederickton. Shortly before his death, Charles together with his son, Pomroy, established the Charles Murray Electric Light Company which supplied power to Breadalbane for many years."

Charles' great granddaughter, Printha Mansfield, recalls being told that several of the Murray boys often supplemented their income by cutting virgin timber on PEI.

The LDS abstract of the census of 1881for Lot 21, Queens Co., Prince Edward Island, Canada:

. Charles W. Murray, Irish, age 43, he and entire household born on Prince Edward Island, farmer, Church of England.

. Elizabeth H., English, age 43, Christian.

. Major C.G., Irish, age 14, Christian.

. John W, Irish, age 13, Christian.

. Nelson S.J., Irish, age 10, Christian.

. Wellington P.S., Irish, age 8, Christian.

. Richard A.A., Irish, age 7, Christian.

. Warburton J.T., Irish, age 5, Christian.

. Matilda Crossman, Irish, age 14, Christian.

According to the Breadalbane Church of Christ baptisimal record, Charles was baptized in Dec 1907 along with "Mrs. Charles". (This church baptizes adults only and does not practice infant baptism.)

He is buried in Fredericktown Cemetery, where he shares a headstone with his wife. The inscription reads: "In loving memory of Charles W. Murray, Died Dec. 4, 1917, age 80. His wife, Elizabeth H. Sellick, died Apr. 16, 1922, age 84".
