NOTE: This is Kenneth McKenzie Murchison, born 1747/1748 in Scotland,

Lower Little River. Wife Catharine, son Duncan, son William, grandson

McNeill (under 21), grddau Catherine McNeill. Daughter Rachel and her
sons John, Daniel and Hector (under age). Wit: John R Reid, Alexander
Murchinson and D Reid Jr. Mentions toll bridge over Little River, saw
mill and blacksmith shop.

He is likely the Kenneth Murchison who appeared in the 1786 Cumberland
Tax list as a "sawyer." (The other Kenneth Murchison on that list was a
"taylor.")

Kenneth Murchison was the founder of the home, Holly Hill, in Cumberland
County. This home is in or near Manchester, which was about 12 miles
northwest of Fayetteville.
