Murray defeated French veteran Michael Llodra in three, 6-2 6-4 6-3, as this year's Wimbledon champion looks to defend his 2012 US title.
The third-seeded Murray now goes on to face Argentina's Leonardo Mayer for a place in the fourth round.
For Williams, a three-hour struggle with China's Jie Zheng ended with the two-time Open champion exiting her 60th Grand Slam tournament early with a heartbreaking tie-break loss 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (5).
"I definitely wish that I was playing in the third round," Williams said. "I tried. She played well, went for every shot. Unfortunately I didn't play consistent enough."
Elsewhere in the women's draw, leading seeds Agnieszka Radwanska and Li Na reached the third round in comfortable fashion.
Radwanska, promoted to third seed after the injury-forced withdrawal of Maria Sharapova, defeated Maria-Teresa Torro-Flor, 6-0 7-5 while Li, the fifth seed, beat Sofia Arvidsson 6-2 6-2.
Radwanska, who has never got beyond the fourth round in New York, was on course for a quick-fire win over Torro-Flor, her second successive Spanish opponent, when she raced through the first set in just 21 minutes, losing just seven points.
But Torro-Flor, dressed in matching colours of blue and pink, made the Pole work for her win in the second set with three breaks of serve.
Radwanska, however weathered the unexpected storm, going through to a third-round clash against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, capitalising on her rival's 38 unforced errors and 10 double faults.
Li, playing in her 30th grand slam and a New York quarter-finalist in 2009, clinched her third career win over Arvidsson, who has now not progressed beyond the second round in seven attempts.
