William Murfrey Sr. wrote his own will on 14 November 1717, and it was recorded in Isle of Wight on 26 June 1721.3 The will names his wife Sarah, “my three sons” Michael, John, and William, and “my five daughters” Catherine Murfrey, Margaret Lawrence, Elizabeth Farrow, Elinor Kerle, and Sarah Anne Murphrey. Sarah was apparently a second wife, as his first wife seems to have been named Frances. She is the same Sarah Murfrey whose own will was dated 26 December 1740 and recorded on 26 April 1741.4 It names her children William Murfree, Anne Murfree, and Catherine Bryan. William Murphrey Sr.’s other children were evidently by a first wife. Sarah was the former Sarah Holladay, as the will of Anthony Holladay written on 3 January 1718 named his daughter Sarah Murphrey and a granddaughter Catherine Murphrey.
