Find-A-Grave memorial for Joseph McMurtrie (this profile's father) includes Alexander in the biography section.^[1]

Published information implies that this connection may be conjecture^[2] He is not listed in his presumed father's will. However, guardianship records for a Samuel McMurtry and a mother (widowed) Sarah McMurtry were filed in 1759, and they indicate the father's name is Alexander. This would imply a death date earlier than the date of Joseph's will, and a possible explanation to his name not appearing on it.
