It looks like you are correct with the Shea's being in Iron County in 1920. Everyone of these 'Shea' names were appearing in Buchanan Co. - and it threw me! Disregard the previous 1920 and 1930 Shea family info I sent. It makes me curious as to whether there may be a family connection between the Buchanan Co and Iron County families, though.... Even a Peter Hartman appears in Buchanan - same birth area and birth year!: 1870 Census Peter Hartman;St Joseph Ward 3,Buchanan,MO;abt 1828;Prussia Peter Hartman;Township 34 Range 3 East,Iron,MO;abt 1828;Bavaria/Bayern 1870 Township 34 Range 3 East, Iron, MO Peter Hartman abt 1828 Bavaria/Bayern White Male Cathariene Hartman abt 1833 Bavaria/Bayern White Female Sophia Hartman abt 1852 Louisiana White Female Caroline Hartman abt 1854 Missouri White Female Henry Hartman abt 1861 Missouri White Male Mary Hartman abt 1863 Missouri White Female Bertie Hartman abt 1865 Missouri White Female Louisa Hartman abt 1867 Missouri White Female You most likely have all this Shea info, but this is what else I ran across in Iron Co.: 1920 Iron, Iron, Missouri Micheal F Shea 61 Louisa Shea 51 1920 Iron, Iron, MissouriName: James Shea Estimated birth year: abt 1859 Age 61 Birthplace: Rhode Island Father's Birth Place: Ireland Mother's Birth Place: United States of America Marital Status: Married James Shea 61 Nannie Shea 54 James Murphye 60 boarder MIDDLEBROOK CEMETERY, Iron Co., MO Located in Middlebrook, Mo., Highway W.
