The Mystery- I know when Alex McConaghy (born about 1838 in Ireland) died 21 Jun 1871 but do not know where. Just found out that his last child of 3, Mary A. McConaghy was born in Coffey County, Kansas on 19 Feb 1871 so he may have died there because his widow Margaret Jane (Shinn)McConaghy (and children Alex McConaghy Jr., Margret McConaghy and Mary A. McConaghy) was according to the 1880 Census living with her father Merrick Shinn in Le Roy,Spring Creek Township, Coffey County, Kansas

4 Jan 1867 Alex McConaghy, Sr. and Margaret Jane Shinn married in Henry County, Illinois.
Merrick Shinn is buried in Le Roy Cemetery,Star Township Le Roy, Coffey County, Kansas.Merrick Shinn died 29 Jun 1886.
Thanks for your help.
