Griffin; King
Looking for a link to Thomas & Margaret Griffin. They immigrated
in abt 1847 from County Cork, Ireland and are believed to have settled
in Missouri where they had other family. In 1860, their daughter Mary E
married Martin King in Boston, MA. 1920 census data on two of Mary
E's daughters listed Missouri as place of birth for their mother, but was
listed in the 1880 census, for Mary E in MA, as born in Ireland. As a result,
I believe that Mary E spent her youth in Missouri with her family, but
I have not located the family in the 1850 census, as yet.. Hope to hear
from anyone that has seen these names or is descended from this family.

McGehee;
I have found sketchy information to the effect that a John McGehee
and his wife Sarah lived in Missouri during the early- to mid-1800s. What
I've been told is that from 1842 to 1849 they *definitely* were in Missouri,
but not before 1836 (when they were in Illinois) and not after 1855 (by
which time they were in Texas). Five of their six children were born in
Missouri between 1842 and 1849: Sidney, Alexander, Sampson, James, and
Martha. Their eldest, who came with them from Illinois, was named Marion.
My informant says when the family turned up in Texas in 1855 they did not
have Marion with them. Marion is also my father's name. Although he was
born in Iowa, *his* father, Ward Orr McGehee (1896-1975) was born
in Missouri but I'm uncertain which county. But if any additional iformation
is out there about the elder Marion who may have remained in Missouri when
his parents and younger siblings moved to Texas, it will be very helpful
in determining whether he is, as I now suspect, my great-great- grandfather.
