Notes for Martha Murray: Died in ship collision while sailing with her brother Hamilton aboard the Ville du Havre, 1873. There were 85 passengers and crew members who perished when their vessel was struck amidships by the sailing ship Loch Earn in the mid-Atlantic. Efforts to launch lifeboats were disrupted by the falling of the Loch Earn's masts on the deck of the Ville du Havre, which sank 12 minutes after the collision.
Notes for Hamilton Murray: Died in ship collision on Ville du Havre with his sister Martha in 1873. He was an excellent swimmer, however, his sister did not swim and it was reported that he remained with her rather than swimming to safety. They both drowned. Hamilton and Martha were sailing to recover from the deaths of both parents in one year when their ship was struck mid ship by the sailing ship "Loch Earn". At 16 he was sent to Europe to complete college preparation. After two years @ University of Pennsylvania he transferred to Princeton where he graduated in 1872. His will, which was written the night before he embarked on his fatal voyage, left $20,000 to the Philadelphian Society of Princeton for the erection of an assembly hall and library to be used "for religious purposes only." The society, an offshoot of the Young Men's Christian Association, had been formed by a group of Princeton undergraduates in 1825 to promote religious activities both on and off campus. Murray Hall was completed in 1879 on the Princeton University campus. It was later known as Murray/Dodge Hall and still later Theatre Intime. In the eulogy delivered by Rev. J. Winthrop Hagerman, Hamilton was widely respected for his "absolute fidelity to every trust, whether love or of obligation." Reference: "Princeton Alumni Weekly" 9 Oct. 1978 from the article "The Ghost of Murray Hall" More About Hamilton Murray: Degree: 1872, Princeton University. 29. Col. James Boyles6 Murray (John Boyles5, John4, John3, John2, John1) was born 1789, and died February 14, 1866. He married Maria Bronson 1814, daughter of Isaac Bronson. She was born 1793, and died 1851. Notes for Col. James Boyles Murray: James B. Murray was educated to enter Columbia College and was accepted in 1804, however, he became very ill and almost died which incapacitated him so he could not attend college. His father chose for him a commercial career. (From the autobiography of Col. J. B. Murray, p. 20) In 1808, his uncle George W. Murray was drafted in the artillery to march to the Canadian line. As he had a family and was engaged in large business, James volunteered to take his place, and thus entered the artillery as a private. Service was of short duration, but sticking to his colors, he was soon elected a corporal. Sent in 1809 as supercargo in his father's coppered (then a rarity) ship, the Egeria, to Archangel, and having made a very profitable trip, he was at 21 (in 1810) admitted to the partnership. In 1811 he went to Washington to make himself acquainted with political affairs and their probable outcome. In June 1812 war was declared against England. His regiment of artillery, the Ninth, in which he was now a 2d Lieutenant, volunteered unanimously, and in September was stationed at Fort Gansevoort on the Hudson River until January, 1813, when they were relieved and allowed to return to business. Meantime, the Egeria had been captured by the French in the Baltic and carried into Norway, but was finally liberated. Sent to Denmark to look after the Egeria's cargo and the firm's interests, the Russian Minister at Washington made him a special bearer of dispatches relative to mediation by his Government with a view to peace.
