MURRAY, WILLIAM [SSNE 3159]
Text source
William Murray was listed as a major in Swedish service, who was discharged in 1636. Another William Murray appears as a captain in 1630. This may or may not be the same 'Vilh. Mure' (William Murray) who is noted in Riksråd records for 25 September 1640 as due to receive 200 Riksdaler from the Swedish government. Unfortunately it does not specify what this payment was for.
