I have one of the McGarvin's from Daviess County in my family as well but am having difficulty with her parents.My gggrandmother was Viola Mae McGarvin b. Dec 1867.She married Richard Tuggle Railsback in Estill Kentucky 8 April 1886 and moved to Daviess County near Gallatin, MO.They had 6 children there.Viola had 5 siblings of which 3 were living in 1900. One of the sisters was Mary McGarvin b. Feb 1858 who never married and continued to live with their mother, Eliza McGarvin b. July 1836.Eliza was from Ohio as were both her father and mother.The 1900 census of Daviess County shows Richard and Viola living next to Eliza and Mary.Eliza is listed as head of household but also still married -- not sure where what happened to her husband or who he is.Do any of these names sound familiar?
