ELIZABETH (LIZZIE) DAVIS of Ashland, Nebraska was listed as executrix in the 1931 Mills County Iowa Probate Records for her sisters Mary Edith MAGUIRE/MAGWIRE b 5 Dec 1853 Petersburg, Huntingdon County, PA d 13 May 1931 Emerson, Mills County, IA, buried Emerson Cemetery & Minne Patience MAGUIRE/MAGWIRE b 4 Nov 1866 Petersburg, Huntingdon County, PA d 26 Sep 1931 Emerson, Mills County, IA & buried in Emerson Cemetery. Elizabeth MAGUIRE/MAGWIRE DAVIS was born circa 1848 in PA. In 1931 the only other surviving member of her natal family was her brother, my GreatGrandFather, Henry Joseph MAGUIRE b 19 Mar 1860 Petersburg, Huntingdon County, PA d 28 Feb 1941 Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie County, IA & buried Bethel Cemetery near Logan, Harrison County, IA. A desceased sister's children, whose name is unknown, were also named in the probate records. Those children would have been the nieces & nephews of Elizabeth DAVIS & Henry Joseph MAGUIRE. They were George BELL of Creston IA, Frank BELL of Freeport IL, Lela HOSSLE of Emerson IA and Luella TURNER of Red Oak IA. Henry Joseph MAGUIRE also had children who were all born near Emerson IA except the last one John E (need his birthdate), William McKinley, Charles Joseph, Vera Mae MAGUIRE KOENIG & Carl Lynn b Logan, IA. I have a lot of info on his children. Elizabeth's parents were James MAGUIRE/MAGWIRE b circa 1816 & Sarah DUNLAP b circa 1829 both born in PA, they had 10 children but I only have names of six of the children. Elizabeth & Henry also had brothers named John & Keage or Heage (couldn't read his name on 1880 census) who I presume passed away before 1931 since they were not listed in the probate records. The MAGUIRE/MAGWIRE family moved to Emerson, IA in 1879. They used both spellings of the surname. Elizabeth & Henry had cousins named Patience LOGAN age 42 & M James LOGAN age 2 who were living in the James MAGWIRE residence in 1880. Elizabeth was listed as unmarried on the 1880 & 1885 Mills County census records in her father's household which was in Section 13 north of the Emerson Cemetery. I do not know when or where Elizabeth married Mr Davis or any information about him. Does anyone have any information on Elizabeth MAGUIRE/MAGWIRE DAVIS or any of the other people listed above. James disappeared or died sometime after 1885 & I haven't found where he is buried yet. Sarah DUNLAP MAGUIRE lived for a time with Mary & Minnie in Emerson & I can not find any other info on her either. What happened to the 2 other brothers? I also have not been able to find out the deceased sister's name who is listed in the probate, it may have been a Nellie MCGUIRE, teacher, who I found living with Mary in Emerson on the 1885 census but I don't know. The names of the children lead me to believe she married a man named BELL but I didn't find any marriage record. I surie have a lot of mysteries to solve & can use all the help I can get. I have the Henry Joseph MAGUIRE line of the family to share. Vicki King [email protected]
