Families covered: Murray of Blackbarony, Murray of Falahill

                               
Possibly a member of the family shown in Murray01, or of that shown on Murray17, was Archibald whom we show as the progenitor of this family. TSP (Elibank) suggests that the first few generations of this family may not be secure (down to John who d by 02.1477, before that is apparently as reported by Douglas).
