      James Murdock, retired tailor, was born in Cumberland 
Township, this county, August 3, 1811, and is the son of 
Charles Murdock and Ann Campbell Murdock. Mr Murdock's 
grandfather was one of the earliest settlers of Greene 
County, coming here among the Indians. His mother was born 
in Ireland. His father, who was of Scotch origin, was born 
in Greene County, Penna, in 1789. His family consisted of 
eight children: six sons and two daughters, of whom James 
Murdock was the oldest.
  
      He was united in marriage in 1838 with Amanda Bailey, 
daughter of William Bailey. Mrs Murdock was born in this 
county in 1816 and is of English descent. To Mr and Mrs 
Murdock were born six children: Zillah Murdock; Anna E 
Murdock, William M Murdock, Mary Murdock (deceased); Ellis B

Carmichaels, and served as justice of the peace for a period 
of ten years. Both are faithful members of the Cumberland 
Presbyterian Church. They are among the oldest and most
