Mary Elizabeth McCartney and her husband John Austin Walton were married January 27, 1869 in Muscatine Co., IA. Their eleven children were Sarah Frances born December 6, 1869 married (1) Ed Wright April 30, 1891 and (2) George R. Marsh May 16, 1894; George Austin; Marshall; John Franklin; Albert; twins Wilbur and William Frank who married Augusta Anna Lantelme December 24, 1911; Mary Annis; James Benjamin born 1886 married Amanda F.; Bertha; Edward. Mary Elizabeth passed away in 1936 and her husband John twenty-five years earlier August 13, 1911. Both are buried in Del Norte Cemetery, Garfield Co., OK.

George Harmon McCartney and his wife Ann Elizabeth Piggott were married November 29, 1870 in Muscatine Co., IA. Their seven children were Jessie William born July 6, 1872 married Etta Belle Day; Jacob H. born December 16, 1873 died as an infant; Charles Oscar born March 11, 1875 married Mary Weber; Frederick George born September 2, 1876 married Sadie Doran; Edith Jeanette born February 1, 1878 married Albert Day "Daddy" Winsell; Francis "Frank" Marion born May 12, 1880; and Edwin S. born July 22, 1883 died as an infant. George Harmon was the last surviving Civil War veteran of Wilton and passed away in Wilton February 15, 1935. His wife Anna passed away in Iowa City, IA seven years earlier July 2, 1928.

Lydia A. McCartney born May 1850 passed away as an infant and is buried in Morrow Co., OH.

Paden Airen McCartney and his wife Rachel P. "Nellie" England were married June 12, 1873 in Muscatine Co., IA. Their three children were Clara A. born 1874 married William E. Churchill; Louis J. "Louie" born June 8, 1877; Cornelius S. born 1883. Interestingly, Paden's uncle (father's brother) was named Paden [Aron] McCartney, and that same uncle named one of his sons Paden as well.

The 1880 federal census and the 1885 state census of Muscatine Co., show Paden and family living in Wilton. Sometime after 1885 but before 1889 the family moved three counties west of Muscatine Co. to What Cheer (Keokuk Co.), IA as their daughter Louis J. "Louie" passed away at the age of twelve and was buried September 11, 1889 in Highland Cemetery. A year earlier Paden's brothers James B. and Robert C. married two women also from What Cheer at What Cheer within eight months of each other. It is highly probable brothers James B. and Robert C. were living with their older brother Paden and his wife at the time of their marriages.

Paden and Rachel again moved between 1889 and 1916 to Milan (Sullivan Co.), MO to be closer to Rachael's relatives, as the 1916 obituary of Paden's mother places him there. I walked the Elmwood Cemetery in Milan July 21, 1995 and found many of Rachel's relatives buried there. Paden and Rachel's son Cornelius died in 1920 and was buried in Milan's Oakwood Cemetery. Rachel died five years later June 11, 1925 of chronic nephritis and was also buried in Oakwood Cemetery - "Block 2, lot 71 S 1/2, by order of P.A. McCartney" [Register of Funerals 1891-1964, Schoene Funeral Home, Milan, MO c 1995 by Juanita Hall]. I walked this large cemetery July 21, 1995 but could not find Rachel's stone but did find her son Cornelius's stone, in a large open area with no nearby stones. I later confirmed Rachael was buried with her son Cornelius as I had assumed. Shortly after the death of Rachel, Paden moved from Milan to Harrisburg, IL where he made his residency with his daughter, Clara A. (McCartney) Churchill. Paden passed away November 23, 1935 in Harrisburg, but was shipped back to Milan for burial in Oakwood, beside his wife and son.

Emma Francis McCartney and her husband Hugh Thompson were married July 3, 1873 in Muscatine Co., IA. Their only child was Mary H. born 1875 married Mazie Brower.

Emma Francis passed away August 1, 1951 in Wilton, and her husband Hugh forty years earlier also in Wilton, 1911.

James Brunner McCartney and his wife Julia E. Parlet were married February 2, 1888 in What Cheer, Keokuk Co., IA.

Jorgenson; Ora Dell born May 29, 1896; Charles Jacob born February 9, 1898 died at birth; Myrtle Lavina born March 30, 1906 married Lloyd Waters; and Laura Frances born February 2, 1909 married LeRoy Kramer.
