colony. Murray was remarkable for having, as it were, 
duplicated his life-history, or to have enjoyed two separate 
spans of life of about the same duration, in each of which 
his career was very similar in nearly all respects. He 
repeated in Newfoundland the same kind of preliminary 
geological and topographical work he had done in Canada, 
and having married and brought up a family in the latter 
province, he became a widower, and, on going to New- 
foundland, married again and reared a second family of 
children. So completely separate were his two spheres 
that one is apt to think of him as he would of two distinct 
individuals, and his biography must necessarily branch into 
two separate parts. 
Murray was born at Dollerie House, Crieff, in Perthshire, 
Scotland, on the 2nd of June, 1810, and died in the same 
town on the 16th of December, 1884, in his 75th year. He 
was the second son of Anthony Murray, Hsq., of Dollerie 
House, Anthony being the eldest, and William, who was 
killed in the Indian mutiny in 1857, being the third son. 
They belonged to the family of the Murrays of Ochtertyre, 
referred to by the poet Burns in his song “ Blithe was She,” 
and were cousins of Sir Patrick Murray, the present pro- 
prietor of the estate of his forefathers. 
His first wife was Fanny Judkins, of Liverpool, a sister 
of the late Captain Judkins, well known for many years as 
the commodore of the Cunard line of steamships. By her 
he had a son and two daughters. The son, Anthony 
Hepburn, born in Scotland 30th October, 1840, adopted the 
military profession, and has been an officer in India since 
about 1857. He is still in that country, and is now a 
colonel in the Horse Artillery. His eldest daughter, Mary 
Helen, born at Woodstock, Upper Canada, 2nd October, 
1838, married, about 1856, Mr. Frank Elwes, then of 
Woodstock, and soon afterwards removed with her husband 
to England. She has been a widow for some years, 
and is still residing in England. The second daughter, 
Helen, born at Woodstock 19th March, 1843, married, 
in 1861, Bernard Fabricotti, proprietor of the Carrara
