I have made a wonderful discovery of the maiden name of James Murr's ( b. 19 Feb 1835 Cocke Co died 22 June 1910 Texas Co Missouri)first wife Martha. Her maiden name was BOGART. Their daughter Sarah Murr b 1865 Union Co Ill married William Riley Coffman. They went to Dallas County, Iowa. On the 1925 Iowa census it gives the names of the parents. Sarah didn't die until 1947 and I was able to obtain that information from that census.
1925 Dallas Co Iowa household 41
Wm Coffman 65 Tennessee father Wm Coffman Tn mother Susan Presley
Sara Coffman 59 Illinois father Jim Murr born Tenn mother Martha Bogard born Tenn
Pearl Coffman dtr 17
I can not find Martha in the 1850 census in Monroe county, but I made another discovery while trying to track her parents.
Jacob Sheets died in Monroe county leaving a will 18 Feb 1853. His wife according to what I can find was Margaret Rule. Their children were John & Henry Sheets, Polly Gaston and wife James, CATHARINE BOGART WIFE OF JOHN BOGART, Martha Mosier wife of John Mosier, Margaret Shields WIFE OF JOSEPH Shields (which I think is key here).
James Murr and Martha BOGART had a son JOSEPH Shields Murr b 8 July 1860 Monroe Co Tenn.
The Bogart's aren't on the 1850 census that I can find anywhere. Guess they were left off, but 1830/1840/1860/1860/1880 I can find them.
John BOGART was born abt 1780 in Virginia. Catherine Sheets was born abt 1800.

John Bogard age 50 to 60

11211 females
1840 Monroe, Tennessee (img 5) pg 144
John BOGART age 60 to 70 (born 1770 to 1780)
210000001 males
0110001 females age 40 to 50
1860 Dist 8 Monroe Co Tn household 749
John BOGART 79 Virginia
Catharine 60 Pennsylvania
Margaret 30 Tenn
1870 Dist 10 houehold 36 Katie BOGART 70
Peggy 40
1880 Dist 10 household 37
Mrs CATHARINE BOGART 78 widow
Margaret 50 daughter
This Catherine BOGART is ALWAYS living around Joseph Shields and Margaret Sheets. I suspect that Martha J was their daughter, but I don't have positive proof. Martha was born abt 1829 is the closest age I have on her from the 1860 census in Monroe Co. Then she dies in Union Co ILL approx 1865/1866 when James Murr marries his 2nd wife Francis Bryant McCall 23 Oct 1867
In 1860 I find a John BOGART who had married 29 Oct 1857 to a Mary Jane Holcomb/Halcomb. I think he's the same one who migrated to Texas by 1880.
