**************************************************************************************
Uroth Murray is thought to have been born between 1752-55 (1753?) in/near the city of Baltimore in Baltimore Co., British Province of Maryland. She was the daughter of Thomas Murray Sr. (1725-1805) and Margaret Jones (1723-1790), both of whom were also born in Baltimore County (est. 1659). When her parents married (abt 1745?) Thomas was about 20 when they married, Margaret about 22.
Over the years Uroth's unusual given name has been spelled several different ways (usually Uroth or Ureth, but also Urith, Urouth and Urath). It was spelled "Uroth" in her father's handwritten wills, dated Sept. 5, 1802 and proven in May of 1805. However, both wills were written by someone other than Thomas Murray as he signed both with "his mark" (T). Thomas apparently was apparently illiterate (unable to read and write), which was not that uncommon in those days.
Spelling was quite fluid in those days and usually depended on the writer of the document. Consequently, the spelling of his daughter's name in Thomas' handwritten will would been have dependent on the person who actually wrote the will. Was the spelling of her name in the will correct?
Most likely, Uroth, along with her mother, were also unable to read and write. If the spelling of her first given name (Uroth) is incorrect in the handwritten will, the "correct" way to spell her name will probably never be known. It should also be noted that some King/Murray family trees show Uroth's middle name as Ruth or Rose. However, there seems to be no official documentation to support either additional given name.
Uroth's father, Thomas, was the son of Morgan Murray (abt 1689-1741) and Sarah Hawkins (abt 1698-1748) and the grandson of James Murray (abt 1665-1704) and Jemima Morgan (abt 1668-1711). The burial sites of all four of Uroth's paternal ancestors are definitely unknown although someone has entered a memorial for each on Find-a-Grave, as well as for other several other members of the Murray family with no burial information provided. What little information they do provide is readily available on Ancestry.com.
It is thought that James Murray, Uroth's great-grandfather, had come to America (Baltimore Co., British Colony of Maryland) about 1676 as a young boy (10-12) with a man by the name of Nathaniel Heathcoat (1640?-1683?). It is not known what kin, if any, Nathaniel was to young James or what relation James was to the Englishman. James, possibly orphaned, probably came as an apprentice or bond servant of Nathaniel.
Uroth's mother, Margaret, was the daughter of Phillip Jones II (1701-1761) and Jemima Murray (1695-1725), both born in the British province of Maryland, where they lived and died. The burial sites of Uroth's maternal grandparents in present day Maryland, as well as her mother in present day North Carolina are currently unknown.
About 1777-78, probably in Rowan Co., NC, Uroth married Kirby King (abt 1752/55-1795/96), who like Uroth is thought to have been illiterate. Kirby (sometimes spelled Kirbe, Kerbe, Kurby by various writers.) was born in the British Province of North Carolina, probably in the area of Edgecombe Co., NC, that became part of Halifax County in 1758. North Carolina, as with the other British colonies, did not declare it's independence from Great Britain until 1776.
Kirby's parents are uncertain but some believe his father to have been Richard King (abt 1700?-abt 1782?), Richard was born in Surry Co., British Province of Virginia & died in Halifax Co, NC. See Kirby's memorial for additional information about Richard.
A number of King family trees confuse Uroth's husband, Kirby King, with the William "Billie" King (1752-1840) that was the son of Edward King (1720-1790) & Elizabeth Nichols (1728-1806) and was married to Elizabeth Sharp (1749-1829). Wrong King line. That William King, a Revolutionary War soldier, was born in Pennsylvania, died in Sullivan Co., TN, and is buried in Green Spring Cemetery in Green Spring, Washington Co., Virginia. Currently, there is no known document that shows that Kirby's first given name was William (possible) or that William's middle given name was Kirby. They are definitely not the same person and do not appear to have been related.
Around 1783 (?), Uroth's widowed father, Thomas Murray Sr., then 60, migrated along with several members of his family and most likely some neighboring families (strength in numbers), from Rowan Co., NC to Washington County in North Carolina's Western Territory. Tennessee did not become a state until 1796. Kirby and Uroth either traveled with her widowed father or followed him to the area shortly thereafter. Although there were some King families already in the Washington County area, it is thought that Kirby was not related to any of them. Again, King was a common surname.
Uroth and Kirby had at least four children (possibly seven or more). They were Burwell King (abt 1780-bet 1850/60), William King I (abt 1785-bet 1841/50), Thomas Murray "Tom" King (1790-1880) and Nancy Ann King (1792-1861). Three other children (?), John T. King (1791-?), Elizabeth King (1794-?) and Mary "Polly" King (1795-?), are also shown in most family trees as children of Uroth and Kirby. While it is quite possible that they were the offspring of Kirby and Uroth, there does not currently seem to be any supportive documentation. It is possible that we do not know anything about them because they died at/near birth or that they did not survive childhood.
Uroth and Kirby's first known child was Burwell "Burrel" King (1780-1850/60), born in either Halifax Co. or Rowan Co., NC. Again, it appears that the spelling of his first given name and/or nickname was dependent upon the writer. Being born about 1780 and with his parents having married about 1877-78, Burwell may not have been their first born child. Was there an unknown first born son (born 1778-79) who was named after Kirby's father, Richard? Possible, but we'll probably never know.
William King I (1785-bet 1841/50), born in NC's Western Territory (became Tennessee in 1796), was the second known child of Kirby and Uroth. Some trees show him as William II, supposedly named after his father, William (?) Kirby King. Again, the additional name is possible but definitely unproven. Notice the five year gap between Burwell and William. There was probably an unknown child or two born during that time period who probably died at/near birth or who did not survive childhood.
The third known child of Uroth and Kirby was my 4G-GF, Thomas Murray "Tom" King. Depending on the actual date of his 1790 birth, he was born in either NC's Western Territory or the Territory South of the Ohio River (aka Southeast Territory). Different names for the territory that became Tennessee in 1796. Again, there is another five year gap so there may have been another child or two born during that time period. It is quite possible that Uroth and Kirby had a daughter during the two five year gaps named after Uroth. If so, that unknown daughter may have died quite young.
Uroth's son, Thomas Murray "Tom" King, was definitely named after her father, Thomas Murray Sr. Tom, as a married adult, migrated from Washington Co., TN to the present day Capuchin area of NW Campbell Co. (part of NE Scott Co. as of 1849), TN and lived there from about 1814 to about 1819 (1926?). He then migrated to the Marsh Creek area of lower Whitley Co. (now part of McCreary Co. as of 1912), KY, and eventually became the patriarch of the King family in present day McCreary County.
Uroth and Kirby's only "known" daughter was Nancy Ann King (1792-1861). In 1812, she married Mathew Douglas (1791-1845). Kirby was 20 years of age, Nancy 19. In some family trees Mathew is shown as a minister, however, he later became a Justice of the Peace and had the authority to perform marriage ceremonies.
It is interesting to note that that the second of Nancy's nine known sons was named King Kirby Douglas (1819-1889), named after Nancy's father. In those days it was not uncommon to use the mother's surname as a middle given name for a son.
Nancy and her husband, Mathew, had a habit of naming their children after relatives or famous individuals. Their first born daughter, Elizabeth Ann "Eliza" Douglas (1813-1862) was named after her father's mother, Elizabeth "Betsy" Ford (1764-1815). Their eighth known child, George Washington Douglas (1826-bet 1880/1900). was obviously named after the first President of the United States. Thomas Mathew Douglas (1828-1901), their ninth known child was probably named after Nancy's brother, Thomas Murray King. John Douglas (1830-1913), their tenth known child. was named after his paternal grandfather, John Douglas (1764-1842). Their last (11th) known child was King Hiram Douglas (1838-1867), the second time the mother's surname was used as a given name.
By 1860, Nancy's 2nd known son, Kirby King Douglas (41), was living in Whitley Co., KY, close to his maternal uncle, Thomas Murray "Tom" King (Nancy's brother). Kirby had moved to that area of the county about 1851 and built/operated a mill on Roaring Paunch Creek, not far from his uncle, from whom he may have obtained his land. When he died in 1889, Kirby was buried in the Troxell Cemetery (aka Otter Creek Cemetery) next to the Otter Creek Baptist Church (now 1st Otter Creek Baptist), about 2-3 miles from where his uncle, Tom, had died in 1880. His uncle, Tom, is buried in nearby Duncan Cemetery next to his wife, Mary Rebecca "Polly" Cox (1800-1881), on land once owned.
It is thought that Uroth's husband, Kirby King, died about 1795/96, around the age of 40-43. Some believe that he was killed while fighting Indians. Possible, however this may be family lore as this story does not seem to be substantiated by any supportive documentation. We do know that in 1794 Kirby, already a landowner, purchased additional land in Washington County, then a part of the Territory South of the Ohio River (aka Southwest Territory). NOTE: The land that would become the state of Tennessee in 1796 had been ceded to the United States in 1790 by North Carolina. At that time is was called North Carolina's Western Territory.
By 1796, Kirby's wife, Uroth, was listed as the landowner (155 acres?). In those days, she would not have been listed as the landowner IF her husband was still living. Her farm adjoined that of her brother, Thomas Murray, Jr. (1754-1835).
Kirby is thought to have been buried on the Thomas Murray farm located near present day Sinking Creek, Washington Co., TN. His untimely death left Uroth, about 40-43, with at least four (possibly seven or more) children to raise. Most likely, she had help (financial?) from her widowed father who lived nearby and from her oldest son, Burwell, who was about 15 when his father (Kirby) died. In 1801, Uroth sold 130 acres of her 155 acres that she and her husband had owned, probably needing the money much more than the acreage. She kept her home and about 25 acres of the farm.
There is no record of Uroth marrying a second time. In her father's will, written in 1802 and proven in 1805, about 9-10 years after her husband's death, she is referred to twice as "Uroth King". No husband is mentioned as it is with her sisters. The will states that her father had already given her the inheritance he wanted her to have, possibly land given/sold to her and Kirby in the 1790s and/or financial support after Kirby died in 1795/96. There appears to be no written record of Uroth AFTER being mentioned in her father's will in 1805.
Uroth apparently died sometime after May 1805, probably near Sinking Creek near the present day community of Gray, Washington Co., TN. Many believe that she died as early as 1806. She is thought to have been buried on her father's former farm near Sinking Creek in Washington County where her husband (1795/96) and her father (1805) were buried. Gray is about 10 miles from Johnson City (est. Dec. 1, 1869), TN. The farm had been willed (1802, proven 1805) to Thomas' grandson and namesake, Thomas Murray (1789-1852) a son of Shadrack Murray, Uroth's youngest brother. He later sold his inherited land (abt 1815-20) and moved to Jackson, Madison Co., TN.
It should be noted that there are some who believe that Uroth moved from Washington Co., TN to Campbell Co., TN after 1805. However, there is currently no record of her ever having lived in Campbell or any other county (Claiborne, Hancock or even Whitley). We do know that by 1818, four of her adult children (Burwell, William, Thomas & Nancy) had married and that three of them had moved to Campbell County (TN)and one to Hancock County (TN). Three of them are shown as paying taxes in Claiborne County in 1818. All 4 had moved from Sullivan Co., Tennessee.
Uroth's son, Thomas, was living in Campbell County in the present day Capuchin area that became part of NE Scott Co., TN in 1849. His married sister, Nancy, and older brother, William, were living not far away (15+ miles?) from him near present day Wooldridge in Campbell County. It is though that all or part of the current Douglas Cemetery in Wooldridge was once part of their farm. Nancy's husband, Matthew, was the first known burial there in 1845.
The three siblings (William, Thomas and Nancy) in Campbell County had farms in extremely rural areas that would have had just a simple trading post (Elk Valley?). Their oldest brother, Burwell, had married in 1804 and later (abt 1814 ?) migrated to Claiborne Co., TN, near Sneedville (abt 1812/14). The area that he lived in became part of newly created Hancock County in 1844. Again, there is no record of Uroth having ever lived in the counties of Campbell (TN), Claiborne (TN) , Hancock (TN) or Whitley Co., KY.
It is not known for certain as to why or when Uroth's three adult children (William, Thomas & Nancy) moved to Campbell County. Most likely, they moved there to acquire some of the land that was available at that time . William and Nancy appear to have migrated there around 1812/14 while Thomas is thought to have migrated to the area about 1814/15.
Both Uroth and her husband, Kirby, as well as Uroth's father, Thomas, probably had just a field stone or a wooden cross to mark their grave sites in Washington County, as would any other graves in the family's burial grounds. More than two centuries have passed since their deaths. During that time the land on which they are thought to have been buried has changed hands and divided numerous time. Unfortunately, the site of their little family cemetery on that land is no longer known.
