MCGUIGAN -
I
wish to thank you on the information regarding the
McGuigan family. The people in question were Francis
(Called Frank) & Celilna (Robillard) McGuigan. It was
most useful and indeed those names are of the same
family I’m researching. A King man also married one of
the Robillard girls that were also related to the
McGuigans. I'm most interested in my grandmother, Mary
(McMahon) Callahan, who was born in Union County, SD in
May of 1893. Her mother died a few hours later after
giving birth so she was raised by her grandparents,
Frank and Celine (Robillard) McGuigan. The
McGuigans moved to Lyman County outside of
Kennebec
and only lived in there a short time, about 1903
to 1909. It was still a pretty wide open and wooly
area. She said one night her grandmother and some of
the other children were home when several Indians on
horseback came near the ranch and began firing guns off
into the air. Grandma Callahan said her grandmother hid
everyone in a storm cellar outside and stood guard with
a gun until they Indians rode off. I have not
been able to find any
land records as to where the ranch may have been
located. They next
moved to Lawrence County outside of Spearfish and began
a ranch there. Would like to hear from anyone
knowing about this family. Thank you, Kim Callahan
I’m sending a
picture of my great-grandparent's ranch outside
Kennebec
in circa 1907, in the event someone may recognize it.

CLAYTON - Thanks to your work I have
finally found the resting place of my ggg
grandfather! The stone says C. C. Clayton but you
were able to identify him as "Comadore C. Clayton"
even though you used the spelling that has been
handed down in our family -- Commodore. The
1870 Census lists him as illiterate, (which is
probably at least partially responsible for the
multiple spellings). I descend through his daughter
Myra Elvira Clayton, whose resting place I still
seek. I am also very intrigued by her sister, Mary
Clayton, whom family tradition insists was "the
first white woman West of the Missouri."
And......supposedly her life story is told in the
1911 Gene Stratton-Porter novel The Harvester!
Any insight to either of these family traditions?
What scant information I have found on her indicates
she lived Northeast of Iona. Whether that was the
spot where she first crossed the Missouri, I cannot
say. The book, Iona Heritage, has a page about
Commodore Clayton! Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you, Van Johnson <VanInDallas2@aol.com>
