Andreas Murray was born in Memel in the Duchy of Prussia, on 9 August 1695.[1]The Swedish patent of nobility granted to his son Gustaf Murray in 1810 acknowledged the family's descent from the Scottish House of Atholl which probably fled to Prussia for political and religious reasons during the English Civil War.[2] He studied in Königsberg in 1710 and in Jena in 1715, and was ordained in 1717. In the following year he traveled to Hamburg and England. He became an associate professor in Kiel and a preacher in Haddeby (Busdorf) in Schleswig. In 1736 he was sent to Sweden as assistant pastor at the German Church in Stockholm, and in 1739 was made first pastor of the same church. In 1752 he became a Doctor of Theology in Uppsala.
Andreas Murray died in 1771. He was praised as a thorough theologian and as a particularly excellent preacher.[1]
