In one letter from his wife Margaret Murray dated 3-Dec-1861 to the
Adjuvant General of Ohio she wrote:
"Georgetown Dec 3rd 1861
To the Adjuvant General Oh
Sir yours of the 27 is received
I hasten to reply. Lieutenant
Murray has gone into service - he is
in the 12th regiment - Company - Thomas
I just did a quick check at www.footnote.com and found a Civil War soldier's pension record card for a John M. Murray, Company F, 12th Ohio Infantry. Is it possible your soldier went by the name John instead of Seth when he served, since his middle initial was J.? --- On Wed, 2/23/11, Kenneth Kepf <km...@earthlink.net> wrote: |

On Rootsweb found the below on Seth J. Murray - apparently he was a lawyer
and married in Highland County, Ohio in 1847. Being a professional would be
line with attempting to raise a regiment.
Note the unusual children's names. May help in your search.
1850 census shows them in Highland County and Seth born in New York about
1822 - wife and children born Ohio
1860 in Brown County listed as SJ Murry - 5 children
Guess you know most of this.
