I'm looking for any info on William Magoffin, age 26 at the time of the 1850 Mercer County Census. Year of Birth may be off by a couple of years.

Thanks
Barry L. Magoffin

In relation to William of Mercer Co. He may be related to my relatives, who are also Magoffins of Lincoln Co and some where married in Mercer Co. Go to yahoo, seach McAfee, it's the last web site that comes up, once there find Magoffin, there are twenty of them in Lincoln and Mercer.I'm going to try to put the right url in.

Although not actively researching the Magoffin family at this time I would be interested in exchanging info. relating to same. Thompsons and Magoffins intermarried in Mercer Co. in 1860's and would like to persue relationships. I have info. (Bible records, newspaper clippings) relating to same.)

I am researching the Magoffin family. I was recently sleuthing the Mercer County, Kentucky and Pennsylvania clans.
The only William in the Magoffin line from the clan of Tullylish, County Down, Ireland, was the son of James Magoffin (1798-1879). James came to the USA in 1821 with his parents. He was a physician. He stayed in Mercer, PA, married Grace Elizabeth Mitcheltree, and was a prominent MD and citizen. He had 5 sons and 5 daughters. Although William James Magoffin is listed first and born about 1829, I have no other information on him. The age would be about right.
The father of the James mentioned above, moved to Kentucky to be nearer his twin brother, Beriah Magoffin, father of the Civil War governor. This grandfather of William, also named James Magoffin, lived in the Lexington, KY, area. They were apparently wealthy and known for generosity.
I'd love to hear what else you may know on down the line from William.
Thanks, Sami Jo

William is buried next to his brother, Samuel, in St. Louis

Do you think this is thet William you were looking for so long ago. I ahven't heard from you. Are you related to the son Will or Marion? I haven't heard anything about them.
Let me know!

To Sami-Jo,
Hello, I'm still a little lost making my way through this information, but thought I should add to your info for Lilah Magoffin. She and Philip Raab had a daughter, Marguerite, and they also had a son, Marion ( I will try to locate his birth date and death date and middle name). Marion was born before 1900, he died in 1973. He was an attorney, then a gold miner in Bodie, CA. He married Marian Edgar in the 1950s, they had no children.

I have Magoffin's listed in my McAfee family file
