MURRAY, Lilias ^{1 2}

   User ID: V139.

  General Notes:

"She was greatly respected, and she seems to have had much force of character. Taylor, the Water Poet, visited her and her husband at Castle Grant, and was very much struck with her charms and attainments. From a list given in her own hand we see she had a good library, and poems in her handwriting show her poetical tastes."
