Murray, Thomas. Born in England February 4, 1829, where he received his
education and resided until about seventeen years of age, when he shipped on the
"Majestic" as an apprentice. He followed the sea five years, visiting the West
Indies, and from there he came to California, arriving at San Francisco February
6, 1853, where he left the ship. He then spent six months on a farm in Santa
Cruz county, when he returned to San Francisco and remained six months. In July,
1854, he came to this county and settled in Bodega, where he has since resided,
being employed at different times in farming, tanning and butchering. He is now
engaged in hotel-keeping and butchering. Mr. Murray married, April 25, 1860,
