James Murray was born in Scotland about 1830. In 1831, when about a year old, his family moved to Sidney, Ohio. He was educated in the public schools, and admitted to the bar in 1851. He immediately relocated to Perrysburg, Ohio.[1] He was elected Ohio Attorney General in 1860,[2] and served one term. He remained a resident of Wood County, Ohio until the close of his term, and then returned to Sidney, where he died in 1879.[1] The only other political office he ever held was as mayor of Perrysburg.[1]
