Relation to the center person (Claunch, William Nathan) : fourth great grandfather
Narrative
Biographical Sketch
John married Nancy in 1805 in Cumberland Co, NC. To this union were born the following children: Kinnith, John, Catherine, William E., Duncan, Mary Phoebe, Alexander, Rora McIver, Margaret A., Jane Isabella, Nancy Elizabeth.
The Murchison cemetery is in the woods of Coosa County, AL. It is on a hill and, I believe, near the site of the pioneer cabin where John B. and Nancy Murchison lived - two piles of field rocks seem to suggest where the chimneys may have been - There are only two monuments but a number of graves.
