- MURCH, B.B. the pioneer of Outagamie county, son of Nathaniel and Polly Bingham, Murch was born in Jay, Essex County, NY., October 12, 1813 and lived in that place until 1835, when he went west. He spent some time in Cleveland, OH and then traveled over other states, teaching in various places. He preempted land in Missouri, but in 1840 left his claim with his brother and returned to his old home. Here he remained teaching and working as carpenter and joiner until 1846. On June 2 of that year he was married to Sarah Boynton and two days later they left for the territory of Wisconsin. A wagon ride of 20 miles took them to Keesville where they stopped for the night. They were joined the next morning by Adaline Finch. A shorter ride brought them to Port Kent. From there they went by steamboat to Whitehall and by canal boat to Buffalo. They found some old acquaintances on the canal boat and made some new ones; among the latter Dr. Foote, his sister, Mrs. Richmond and her husband from Oneida County, NY. They stopped in Buffalo over Sunday and on Monday, having to wait for the boat, went to Niagara Falls and spent the day. From Buffalo they took the steamer Missouri to Chicago, stopping at Mackinaw where they were met by James Blood and taken to his uncle's, Capt. Lavaque's, an old townsman of theirs. From Mackinaw they went direct to Green Bay by the Astor, a small steamer owned by Mr. Goodell. They Bay was very rough and the boat finally stopped at Beaver Island to wait for calmer weather. At Green Bay they were guests of Dr. Ward and there they found old neighbors in the persons of Henry Blood, his wife and sister. Staying there one day, they next went by wagon to what is now Wrightstown. That week Mr. Murch selected his land the next Monday, June 30, 1846 entered it at the land office in Green Bay. They lived in a small house in Wrightstown until November. Four children were born to them; George H. their oldest, was born December 9, 1847 the first white child born of American parents in the county. The old farm was sold to Mr. Carter about 1882 and Mr. Murch bought a place in Green Bay where he lived several years, then came to Appleton to spend his last days. He died February 20, 1891.
