Alex Murdoch and his wife and their two sons, all in great health.

several South Carolina counties, the Murdoch

named carried a lot of weight. Wealth, power, respect, they had it all. They were the law and

were above the law. If there was one family in South Carolina's low country

you did not want to cross was the Murdoch's. Long before Alec Murdoch became an internationally
