In 1850, he was living in Searcy County, Arkansas with wife Eleanor (Murphy) and 1 yeqr old son. William Cephas Griffith.

February 3, 1849, Mary b. abt 1851, Archibald b. abt 1853, and James Madison b. March 4, 1854. Eleanor died when James Madison was born. Mary and Archibald do not show up on census after 1860 so maye they died or went to live with relatives in another county or state.

I am searching for information about the family of Elias WALTER and wife Margaret. They appear on the Wabash County 1860 census with the following children: David age 7, Mary J. age 5, and Martha C. age 2. I have not found them on the 1870 census.

My husband is a descendant of Amos and Susannah POWELL WALTER. They resided in Wabash County in 1860's. Amos died in 1866 and Elias was the administrator of his estate. I feel that they were related. I can give information about Amos WALTER. I would like to have proof on the connection between these two men.  I would appreciate any information that can be offered.

GALLAGHER, James Barr, 1871-1936, m. Lillian VANDAVEER in Greenwood Co., KS in 1894. He was living in Mt. Carmel, IL at the time, and they returned there after the wedding. The newspaper account says that he was interested in purchasing The Pilot in Mt. Carmel, or the Springerton Herald. Their first child, Mildred, was born in 1895 in Dickinson Co., KS, so they probably were in Mt. Carmel a short time. Anyone with info about the newspaper, The Pilot, or the GALLAGHER family will appreciate the help.
