MACK MURRAY.

Mack Murray, one of John H. Morgan's men, was born near Edenburg, 
Scotland, Feb., 13.1843. Moved to Ken­tucky in September, 1844. 
Enlisted in 1861 in John H. Mor­gan's cavalry in the month of July. 
He was made a prison­er and kept at Indianapolis for nine months, 
until he made his escape. In 1865 he settled in Navarro county, 
remain­ing there for ten years until his removal to Tyler, where he 
has been a citizen ever since. He was one of Morgan's bold riders, 
just such as gave that dashing cavalry commander a historic name for 
gallantry.
