Oops
I think I was a little premature... Teach me to read before I write.
William Murray of Kirtleton was born 27 November 1810, some years after your William.

Given the dates etc. I don't think you are descended from Mathew Murray as he only had 3 sons (that I am aware of) and of those, John, James and William none had a son named William born in 1801.
John married in 1810
James married in 1818
William - no record of marriage but died in 1848 and buried with his father and mother in Wauchope Cemetery near Langholm.

Still will be happy to explore this further as there was a cousin of Matthew's who predeceased him who also had a son named James, he lived in Tanlawhill.

Hello,
I was trawling the web when I came across your message. 

I am one of the descendants of Lt Col. Matthew Murray via his second son James and have been looking for descendants of Mathew Murray who have remained in the UK and it looks like I have found one.

Can I assume you are descended from William Murray of Kirtleton? Son of Matthew Murray and Sarah Espline?  I could not find any reference to marriage or children for him and assumed he had no descendants.

I have some information regarding the Murray family in Australia and some on the family in Scotland that I have gleaned from various indexes and on-line resources.

I would be glad to share these with you.
