Daughter of John McMurtrie Jr. (1832-1884) and Janet Gray (1833-1882). Their children were born in Scotland, some were born in Glasgow, some in Ayrshire and most all in Greenock. Marion is twin to her brother Matthew McMurtrie (1864-1864).
And as the family story goes...Marion's mother Janet Gray died 1882 in Greenock, Scotland leaving Marion's father John McMurtrie with the raising and care of this large family of 10 children. He became despondent after a time and his health began to fail him. He decided to take his family to America. They were to set sail from Liverpool, Scotland on the ship "Nevada" in 1883. When the passengers on the sailing list were checked, the father was not to be found. A search was made. Later John McMurtrie's body was found lying across the grave of his beloved wife Janet. His family were orphans, going to a strange land without support or finances to see them through after their arrival.
Among the passengers and listed with this family was an Uncle Robert Enoch Gray, a brother to their mother Janet. His wife Helen McAllister had died 1879. Robert was with his daughter Emma sailing to America. It was this Uncle Robert that came to the rescue of the orphaned children of John McMurtrie and Janet Gray and brought them on to America.
Robert with the help of Marion Dunn McMurtrie raised her sibs, the younger McMurtrie children. Robert fell in love and married the oldest female child of that family, Marion Dunn McMurtrie on 23 Mar 1887 in St. George, Washington County, Utah.
As some of Marion's brothers and sisters grew older, Marion and Robert had a large family of their own. Several of their own children died in childhood and only four lived to reach maturity.
