Named in the 1914 county history

The history of Fayette County was published 14 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

James Murray, a Pennsylvanian, came to Ross county, Ohio, when twelve years old, with his father, James H., who settled four miles west of Chillicothe. He helped lay out that place and was the first representative from Ross county. During the War of 18 12 he served as general, while his son was a major of militia, which guarded the frontier. Immediately after the marriage of young Murray, he settled on a farm in Marion township, while the parents of his young wife settled on an adjoining tract of land. Murray was elected associate judge. He was an original member of the Bloomingburg Presbyterian church.
