Posted on: Nodaway Co Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Nodaway/10942 Surname: MAINES, FOSTER, WALKER, MCCREA ------------------------- Elaine, Thanks for responding to my inquiry. Yes, your Mary Ann MAINS is my Molly MAINES, daughter of Elihu MAINES and Margaret B. FOSTER. I have her birth date listed as January 30, 1848 in Brownsburg, Hendricks County, IN. She married William H. WALKER December 24, 1868, Nodaway County, MO. I have a copy of an article from a Nodaway County history book about them. It also contains pictures of them and their family. I would very much like to correspond with any descendants of theirs. My grandmother was Maggie MAINES, a niece of Molly and Will WALKER. The story I have indicates that a son, Charles E. WALKER and a brother, name not given, moved to Colorado and ranched with Charles and family returning to Nodaway County. Charles married Eva A. GAUGH and had one daughter, Pauline Frances. Molly had 4 brothers, Andrew J. MAINES, b. 1850, IN, d Nodaway County, MO. [I believe he was the first person buried in the Dawson Cemetery, I have that date as 1881 but I am not sure that I have it correct] William Cass MAINES b. 1853, IN and d. 1933, Nodaway Co. MO, He married Elizabeth Jane BAILEY [they were my ggrandparents] John W. MAINES b about 1856 IN. Theodore MAINES B 1858, IN. married Mary Eva McClain. Margaret B. MAINES remarried after the death of her first husband, Elihu. She married Duncan V. MCCREA in 1867 and they had one son Wellington MCCREA. I would like to have more information on Mary Ann's [Molly's] mother, Margaret B. FOSTER, MAINES, MCCREA's parents and siblings. I also need more information on Molly's father, Elihu MAINES and his parents and siblings. All responce will be appreciated.
