John Murray/Murray-Prior and Mary O'Neil

John Murray was the son of Mary Prior, Tom and Richard's sister, and the Rev. Thomas Murray. John Murray inherited his cousin's Tom Prior's estate on the condition that he added Prior to his surname.

John Murray/Murray-Prior's first wife Mary was the daughter of Colonel O’Neil of County Down.

John Murray-Prior married a second time, Jane, widow of the Rev. James Myhill and daughter of John Flood of Flood Hall, Kilkenny: they had four sons (and perhaps daughters too though they may not have been deemed worthy of mention in the genealogical sources and, with name changes on marriage, are harder to track).

Other sources (e.g. Family Bible; Robert M-P, The Blood Royal of the Murray-Priors, ms written 1901-05 NLA Nq929.2M984) appear to have taken their information from Burke.
