All I know is that she was born in Ireland and immigrated to the US with her husband Edward TRACY in 1862. On their way from the East Coast to Iowa, they must have stopped at one point in Whiteside Co, IL where she gave birth to Martin Franklin TRACY on 19 Jan 1875. (The only known child from that marriage.) My records show that Edward was married in Iowa in 1880 to his second wife. Am wondering if there is an obit on Mary from 1875 - 1879?

From History of Whiteside County, by Bent-Wilson: (After beating out the town of Unionville for the location of the present C. & N.W.R.R. the proprietors, including a Mr. VanEpps and Mr. Lyman Johnson, the railroad contractor and one of the purchasers of the land, established the location of the railway station where it now is.) After the surveyor's chain had been run through the hazel brush and scrub oaks, the town, to spring up within the survey, was named "Morrison" by Mr. Johnson in honor of Mr. Charles Morrison, a wealthy merchant of New York, and friend of Mr. W. Van Epps. Doubtless Mr. Morrison would have given substantial aid to the town but for the fact that business reverses swept his property away and left him a poor man.

Hi Dave.. A lot of websites won't work with Netscape 4.75 - you have to have 6.0 or better. I have no idea why Netscape has this problem, but they corrected it somehow with the 6.0 version. At least thats what I've been told. Or you could always switch to Internet Explorer which is very forgiving..
