I thought I'd give this another go . . I'm still working on this brickwall.
Samuel Mahorney - b. about 1835 in KY. What happened to him? Who were his
parents?
I located him on the 1850 (Washington Co.), 1870 (Washington Co.), and 1880
(Daviess Co.) census records. He last was living in Steele Twp. in Daviess
Co. Can't locate him in 1860.
His wife was Mary Ann Hand. Census records indicate she was born about 1850
in IN.
I have never been able to locate a marriage record. The first child shown
on census records was Owen Mahorney b. abt 1865. I don't know if he was their
first child or not. Could he have been named after his grandfather??
Next is James Benjamin Mahoney b. abt 1868 and died 5 June 1945 in Knox Co.,
Pauline Mahorney b. abt 1870, Eldora (Dora) Mahorney b. 17 Dec 1870 in Knox
Co., IN--married Charles Dyer; then Nancy J. Mahorney b. about 1874 and Myrtle
Mahorney b. about May 1884. All the children were born in IN.
Myrtle is living with her sister Eldora and continued to do so. I don't
think she ever married. This makes me think Samuel and Mary both died before
1900.
Who were Samuel and Mary's parents??!!! I am certainly hoping someone can
help me break down this brick WALL!!
