Generation No. 1
1. Andrew1 MURRAY I was born Bef. 1755 in Newberry Co, Ninety Six Dist, SC1, and died Bet. 1820 - 1830 in Mississippi. He married Lydia (Murray). Notes for Andrew MURRAY I: 10/31/1998 In 1769, South Carolina had 8 Circuit Court Districts, one was known as Ninety-Six District. Between 1785-89, eight counties were established within Ninety-Six District: Abbeville, Edgefield, Greenville, Laurens, Newberry, Pendleton, Spartanburg, and Union. Later, labels fluctuated between either Districts or Counties, and additional counties were formed from these. Today, 15 of South Carolina's 46 counties were formed from some part of what was Old Ninety-Six District. (Information Source: Schweitzer, George K. "South Carolina Genealogical Research.") The origin of the name Newberry is unknown. The county was formed in 1785 as a part of Ninety Six District, and the county seat is the town of Newberry. This part of the upcountry was settled largely by Scots-Irish, English, and German immigrants in the mid-eighteenth century. Germans were so prevalent in part of Newberry County that it become known as Dutch Fork, with Dutch meaning Deutsch (German). Large scale cotton farming replaced small farms in the nineteenth century, and the coming of the railroad made Newberry a leading cotton market. Historians John Belton O'Neall (1795-1863) and David Duncan Wallace (1874-1951) were Newberry County natives, as was governor and U.S. senator Coleman L. Blease (1868-1942). 03/09/1999 From the 1790 census of Newberry County, SC, we learn that he had 1daughter. From the 1800 census of Edgefield County, SC, he had 4 sons under 10 and 1 daughter between 10-16. He lists his age as over 45, and his wife 26-45.
