MUIR
By Alice (Price) McKiel

This is our "black sheep", - "skeleton in the closet"- or "big secret" of the family. The remaining relatives wouldn't talk about this part of the family, so there is little I could find out. It seems that Elizabeth Mary Muir was a housekeeper in her young life. When she was "housekeeper" at one place she gave birth to a girl. She later married and had another girl. The first child is our direct line. We have no idea who the father of our ancestor was, so have not had much success in tracing back further.
