Muir in Jackson Co., MO in 1861.An Ancestry.com tree says her name was Mary Muir and that they had one daughter, Mary Louisa b. 17 Sep 1861 in Jackson Co., MO.Another possible daughter is Rachel M. Muir, age 18, who is living with Judge James Yager in Jackson Co. in the 1860 census.
A granddaughter of Dick and Martha/Mary Muir's, Mrs. J. O. (Mabel?) Williams donated some of Dick's papers to the Kansas City Public Library before 1961.
Dick Yager rode with Quantrill in the Civil War and an old letter states that Martha/Mary was jailed because of his activities as a rebel.
Any information on Martha/Mary Muir and her family would be helpful.
