Query: Looking for information on Landrum family

Maggie Landrum Murphy was the First Lady of Columbia when her husband, Dr. W.R. Murphy, was Mayor of Columbia

By Andre' Landrum

While going through some of my late mother's files, I found a large brown envelope with a note from Maggie Murphy (wife of Dr. W.R. Murphy of Columbia) to my father Edward Landrum of Lumberton, MS. Mrs. Murphy was a Landrum by birth and apparently had tried to do some kind of history of the Landrum family that she came from, going back into the early 1700's when two Landrum brothers, James and John, came to America from Scotland.
