McMURRICH, John, Canadian merchant, born in Renfrewshire, Scotland, in 1804; died in Toronto, 13 February, 1883. He was engaged for some time in business in Glasgow, and in 1835 came to Canada, where he subsequently became a partner in a large mercantile firm in Toronto. In 1856, when the legislative council became elective, Mr. McMurrich was an unsuccessful candidate for the Saugeen division, but in 1862 he was elected for that constituency by a large majority. In 1864 he declined a renomination, and in 1867 he was elected to the Ontario assembly for North York, but, on suffering defeat in 1871, he retired from political life. He was a Liberal in politics.
