I will have to pull myself together and add to my blog, plus findagrave, and family search. Also, there were a few accounts of family members that I have never read before. They are almost like obituaries, but I've never come across them before. They read like they were written by people who knew them well and are very personal in nature. These were of my husband's great-great grandparents. I had always wondered about the death of Finie Burton and there is an account of that. Thank you for going to the trouble to track me down. This is like Christmas.kdduncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02324473106970005553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064169550240768591.post-67203502806382045842020-10-17T13:41:10.262-05:002020-10-17T13:41:10.262-05:00Shelley - I know you are waiting to hear the rest ...Shelley - I know you are waiting to hear the rest of the story.

She said she had been off for the last three weeks and would speak to the other worker and call me back. I will call back tomorrow. There are various paintings of members of the Murfree family in museums and private collections. I would expect it to be expensive. Did you see anything with the Selph name on it? Sarah (Harding) Dabb's mother was a Selph. kdduncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02324473106970005553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064169550240768591.post-43515394655456730122020-10-12T16:03:26.318-05:002020-10-12T16:03:26.318-05:00I took a pic of her certificate and it is Hardy Mu...I took a pic of her certificate and it is Hardy Murfree.I hope all the pics, letters, etc. will be returned to the family. It is a treasure trove of history. There is also a painting that has a family member's name on it - I forgot the name. The lady at the antique store said that it is an expensive piece.Shelley Ledbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07063584937159369877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064169550240768591.post-70475285756590110742020-10-10T17:58:13.847-05:002020-10-10T17:58:13.847-05:00Shelly:

Priscilla (Selph) Harding and my husband's grandfather were siblings. I don't know anyone in Priscilla's direct line, but may eventually be contacted by them. I wonder if Sarah had any letters or pictures of the Selphs who removed to New Mexico? I knew that other members of that generation had joined the DAR. I think Sarah would have joined as a descendant of Col Hardy Murfree. <br /><br />Kathykdduncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02324473106970005553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064169550240768591.post-3249167355144792172020-10-10T12:54:22.585-05:002020-10-10T12:54:22.585-05:00I hope that you can get the items.
