I am looking for any information on my great-grandmother: Annis Alvina (McPherson) Davis. She was b. 09/08/1874 in Dexter, IA & d. 09/01/1959 in IL. Don't know of any siblings. Her father's name was Allen Greene McPherson and mother's name was Mary Ann Maulsby -- only things I know about them are that she died in 1886, & that they were married on March 13, 1873 in Dallas Co, IA. His parent's names were Joseph McPherson & Rachel Cashet. Joseph was b. 01/18/1799 & d. 06/17/1875 in IA. I know that Annis and this Joseph are buried together at Dexter County Cemetery. Allen McPherson may have had a brother named Andrew, Raymond, or both. In case this might be useful, Joseph had a brother named George M. b. 1790 & d. 1875. His grandson's name was Forrest b. 1881 & d. 1973. Forrest was a prominent individual in Stuart. IA. I appreciate any info you can supply me. I have the McPherson's traced back to about 1660. However, Annis & her parents are a mystery. Before he died, my grandfather said he knew little about his mom's family. Here is an extra piece of info which may help you. The family story goes that Mary Ann Maulsby was adopted. Her birth name was Wilbirm or Wilberm. She rode on an orphan train and was adopted by the Maulsbys. Had an orphan train come through Dallas County?
