Joseph Murray Full Biography
]I grew up on Ulster County, Ireland in a family of Scottish ancestry. Sometime before 1767 my mother, Elizabeth, and I boarded a ship in Londonderry and set off for a new life in British North America. I was a young stone mason and when we got to the colony of New Jersey we purchased 40 acres of land on Poricy Brook in Middletown Township, Monmouth County. I built a new farmhouse and barn in 1767 and took great pride in making the foundations very substantial with lots of headroom in the basement. I built stone wall foundations about two feet thick and I built my mother a massive cooking fireplace in the basement as part of the chimney support. Also about this time, I began my own family and married Rebecca Morris. She was from a Welsh family that had lived in Monmouth County for several generations and she had nineteen brothers and sisters. Our first child was born in 1771.
When the Revolution broke out my neighbors were torn between supporting the rebels and remaining loyal to England. In 1775 I signed into the First Monmouth County militia regime
