James Murray was born in 1721, a younger son of Alexander Murray, Lord Elibank.

Murray subsequently became the military commander of Quebec City, and in 1764 Murray became the first Civil Governor of the Province of Quebec. Following his recall from Quebec in 1776, Murray became Governor of Minorca between 1774 and 1782, until being forced to surrender after a seven month siege of Port Mahon by a Franco-Spanish force, earning him the nick name ‘Old Minorca Murray’. His last official posts were Governor of Kingston Upon Hull (1783) and Colonel of the 21st Regiment (1789). Murray died at his home in Sussex, Beauport Park, on 18th June 1794.
