John Andrew Jackson Wilson (called Jack), Emma's husband, was born 29 February 1860 in Miller County. If there were other children other than Emma and Charles, I have not found record of them. Her brother, Charles Machon, married Martha Lee in 1889. The marriage was performed by Granville B. During the same year, Emma Jane was living in the home of James and Mathilda (Whitaker) Rowden in neighboring Osage township.Įmma Jane Machon married John Andrew Jackson Wilson on November 27, 1883. In their home were Emma's older brother, Charles Machon, and Mary's two children, John and Permelia Moss. They were living in Richwoods Township in 1880 near the families of Dake, McKee, Brandon, Green, Humphrey, Whitaker, Hickey, and Lawson. Emma's father was Charles Thomas Machon, born circa 1824, but I do not know the name of her mother.Īfter coming to eastern Miller County, Thomas Machon married Mary J. Her mother died at Emma's birth, so if the family legend is true, then her mother was probably buried at sea. Family legend says she was born aboard the ship that brought her parents to America from England. Mace.Įmma Jane Machon was born 20 February 1864 (some records say 1866). He died in Iberia on Octoat the age of 80 years. Thomas came to Missouri in 1881 and the same year he bought and moved to the farm where he lived the rest of his life. Mace, Louisa (Groff), Mary (Arnold), Josie (Heltzell), Lillian Farnham), Cora (Benage), and Ollie (Musick). Ann Tate and they became parents of 11 children. He was buried beside his first wife, Mahala, at the Iberia Cemetery. John/Jack's funeral services were held at the Iberia Baptist Church, conducted by Rev. His third wife, Marguerite Withers, survived him at his death on December 26, 1931. Mahala McKay Mace died in 1908 and Jack remarried twice after her death. They were: Mary Mace Witmer, Celia Mace Shelton, Harrison Mace, and George Mace. John/Jack and Mahala Mace were parents of 9 children but only 4 survived their father at his death in 1931. For some reason they do not appear in Miller County records until 1900. His obituary stated that John/Jack Mace and his family lived around Brumley and Iberia most of their lives and he had joined the Brumley Baptist Church about 1874. During that year they were living in the east part of Glaize Township near William Trusley, Soverign George, James Warren, Willard Spearman, Samuel Payne, Millard Hawkins and William Karr. They do not appear in Miller County records until the 1900 census. No record was found of their marriage in Miller County. John Jackson Mace, son of John and Malinda, probably married Mahala McKay in Camden County about 1867. In 1850 they were living in the Big Richwoods of Miller County living near the families of John J. c/1835 and probably died as an infant William C. The children of John and Malinda Mace were: Celia M. I would venture a guess her parents were not born in that area, but went there before Malinda was born. Malinda stated she was born in Alabama as well as her parents. In the 1880 Miller County census, John stated he was born in Virginia and his father was born in Pennsylvania. If she was born in Alabama in 1813, it was not a state yet but was part of the territory of Mississippi. was born in Virginia c/1811 and his wife, Malinda, was a native of Alabama, born c/1813. The Mace family evidently was in Dent County, MO, near Salem, about 1838 in Miller County in 1840 in Camden County by 1847 then back to Miller County by 1850. It is difficult keeping up with some of these pioneer families as they continued to move so often. By 1840, John Mace, his wife and 3 children were found in the Miller County census living in Richwoods Township. He was the youngest son of John and Malinda Mace, natives of Virginia and Kentucky. John Jackson Mace, known in his twilight years as 'Uncle Jack', was born 21 February 1847 in Camden County, MO near old Linn Creek.
