Hi,
     I am a descendant and have considerable info on Charles & Elizabeth (Armstrong) Murray who immigrated to New Brunswick c1818-20.  Charles has been identified as a s/o Charles & Mary (Lithgow) Murray, born c1757, Rowanburnhill, Dumfriesshire, christened 8 Aug 1757.  He was married on 2 Sep 1787 at Canonbie, Dumfriesshire to Elizabeth Armstrong (b. c1767, Castleton) d/o John Armstrong & Helen Nixon (apparently both reported to be buried in Ettrick Cemetery, Newcastleton).  Elizabeth's sister, Jean (c1761) married James Oliver - The Murrays had Oliver cousins in Ontario.  Janet, another sister of Elizabeth, married William Ballentyne and also immigrated to Ontario, settling in Smih Falls.
     Charles & Elizabeth (Armstrong) Murray's children were:
Helen   m. John Elliot  - to Ontario
Mary     m. Richard Smith   - remained in NB
