Girton, is a native of Pennsylvania, where he was born April 24, 1828. His mother, Mariah Girton was born in Ohio in 1829. They were married March 28, 1853. Both are still hale and hearty, living alone and doing their own work. Orlando Girton was educated in the common schools of the county.

If you don't have it yet, you can get MO Death records on line here:
I see Mariah's is here - unfortunately doesn't give her parents name but gives place of birth and date of birth (oct 19, 1829)
In 1870 James & Mariah are listed in Schuyler Co Census with 3 children: Orlando, Mary L and William H. - wasn't sure if you have that info - if you don't, will forward rest of it to you.
Hope this helps! :)
