Biography
Miriam (Murphree) Easley was part of a Southern Pioneer Family.
When Miriam Murphree was born on November 21, 1789, in the Pendleton District, South Carolina, her father, Solomon Murphree (abt.1757-1854), was about 32 and her mother, Sarah Elizabeth (Ward) Murphree (1761-bef.1823), was about 28.
She married Warham Easley about 1806 in Pittsboro, Chatham County, North Carolina. She had two sons and four(?) daughters with him:
- Solomon Easley (abt.1807-aft.1870)
- Winnie (Easley) Morton (abt.1811-abt.1907)
- Sarah (Easley) Murphree (1813-1882)
- Mary (Easley) Cornelius (1815-1870)
- Lucinda Easley (1817-)
- Benjamin Easley (1818-1879)
- Kessiah (Easley) Ratliff (abt.1820-)
- Hannah Serena (Easley) Bynum (abt.1823-abt.1847)
She died on March 10, 1831, in Blount County, Alabama, at the age of 41.
Research Notes
Despite the similarity in their names Miriam and her sister, Keziah (Murphree) Hallmark (abt.1797-bef.1841), are two separate people. Miriam died in 1831 while Keziah continued having children for another 10 years past that time. Please do not merge.

I had some correctings listed under my family name and I have no knowledge of this family and it's not part of mine either. Please correct.

Murphree-268 and Murphree-693 appear to represent the same person because: These two profiles are probably the same person, Murphee-693 does not have Hallmark attached but she has a spouse named Hallmark. The birth year has a couple of digits transposed on one or the other. The name James on Cummings Hallmark may be correct.
