NOTE: The data on the Maher
family has been obtained from court records, census data, wills, tax rolls,
newspaper reports, the Maher-Graves Family Bible, the Maher-Lowry Family Bible,
the Social Security Index, Internet websites and family heirlooms. Mike Maher
of Annapolis, MD, did the early Maher family research and kindly allowed it to
be used in this report. There are many “missing links”
in this family’s history, and anyone who feels that they can fill in some of
the blanks is encouraged to do so. This website will be updated as additional
data is obtained.
Maher Family? You say that you have lived in Madison Parish for over fifty years and never have heard of them? Well that is the reason this is being written because the Mahers lived in Madison Parish over 150 years ago and became an important part of Madison Parish history.
Many Maher descendants lived (or still live) in Madison Parish, including all of the descendants of William P. and Ada Graves Sevier (including former longtime Tallulah Mayor, W. P. “Buck” Sevier, Jr., former Madison Parish Tax Assessor, James D. Sevier, current Madison Parish Tax Assessor, “Jimbo” Sevier, Charlotte Sevier Ziegler and Bill Ziegler.) Also all of the descendants of George W. and Louise Graves Jordan (including former State Senator Irene Jordan Sevier wife of longtime State Senator Andrew L. Sevier and all of their offspring.) Many others live nearby or in neighboring states.
Philip Maher, the primary Madison Parish Maher, was engaged in extensive land trading, especially in the Milliken’s Bend area. This was done with his brothers-in-law Honoré Perigny Morancy[1] (who married Philip’s wife’s sister), Alfred Lowry (who was his wife’s brother) and his father-in-law Catesby B. Minnis (who married his wife’s mother after her first husband died.) During the 1830-1860 period these four men controlled much of the land in southeastern Carroll Parish and northeastern Madison Parish.
MATHEW FRANCIS MAHER
Mathew
Francis Maher[2], brother of Philip and the first
Maher to come to Louisiana, was born June 29, 1802 in Laghile,
County Tipperary, Ireland. He arrived in Louisiana
about 1820 at an age of about 18. From that date until he died in New Orleans
on July 25, 1832 Mathew amassed quite a fortune. Among his extensive land
holdings was prime property in downtown New Orleans. He also owned property in
Ireland, Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, Alabama and Milliken’s Bend, LA where he may
have met his wife-to-be, Caroline Ewing Lowry. Mathew and Caroline were
married in Vicksburg on November 1, 1830.
On
April 3, 1832 Mathew bought the following property in Carroll Parish (Madison
Parish was not formed until 1838) near Milliken’s Bend: Lot number 11, Township
17 (North) Range 13 East containing about 160 acres.[3]
The property was purchased for $2,500 from Honoré Morancy who married Caroline’s sister, Eliza Jane in 1818.
Unfortunately Mathew died three months later in July 1832, probably from yellow
fever.
At
the time of his premature death in 1832 Mathew’s estate was worth some $268,000[4] in
cash and notes – not including the Milliken’s Bend property. In today’s dollars
that would be about $6,000,000.[5]
Most of Mathew’s estate was divided between his brothers Michael and Philip.
PHILIP
MAHER
Philip
Maher was born about
March 1812 in Laghile, County Tipperary,
Ireland. He entered the United States December 4, 1827 on the Ship Princess
Charlotte out of Liverpool. He gave
his occupation as a Clerk and his age as 15.
He was traveling with Thomas FitzWilliam[6]
who owned a large plantation near Milliken’s Bend. Records show that Philip
attended St. Joseph College in Bardstown, KY for at least one year in 1829.[7]
At
the time of Mathew’s death in 1832 Philip was only about 20 years of age and
probably living in New Orleans. By March 1833 Philip reached his “age of
majority” (21) and was eligible for his inheritance from Mathew. The first
mention of Philip and what was later to become Madison Parish was in March 1834
when he and his brother Michael bought 1128 acres from Honoré
Morancy in Township 17 Range 13 E.[8]
Also in March 1834 Philip and Michael sold 21 slaves to Catesby B. Minnis for the sum of $8,500.[9]
On
March 1, 1835 Caroline Lowry Maher, widow of Mathew Francis Maher, sold to
Philip and Michael Maher all of the community property she had inherited from
her late husband for $8,840.[10]
This included:
1. Two plots of ground with the improvements thereon situated on Magazine Street, Faubourg St. Mary between Poydras and Girod Streets.[11]
2. Two certain lots of ground situated in Faubourg Lafayette, Parish of Jefferson, in this state and designated by the numbers "3" and "4" in Square no. 14 as per the original plan of said Faubourg.
3. A certain lot or parcel of ground adjoining the town of Bardstown, Nelson County, State of Kentucky, being a part of a lot known in the plan of the outlots of the said town of Bardstown as No. 11.
4. One other lot of ground also adjoining the said town of Bardstown, containing between two and three acres.
5. Five certain lots of ground situated in the town of Belmont, County of Belmont, State of Ohio.
6. Two lots of ground situated in the City of Mobile, State of Alabama, with the improvements thereon.
7. A certain tract of land situated in the County of Tipperara (sic), Ireland containing about 22 acres and now in the possession of Patrick Maher.[12]
In addition to the sum of Eight thousand Eight Hundred and Forty dollars Philip and Michael agreed to:
“... assign and set over unto the said Mrs. Caroline Maher, a certain tract of land situated on the River Mississippi, Parish of Carroll, in this state and designated as Lot 11, Township 17, Range 13 East being the same purchased by the said Mathew F. Maher of H. P. Morancy on the 3rd day of April, 1832. Also, a certain negro named Charity...”
On May 23, 1835, just three months after buying her property, Philip Maher married Caroline Ewing Lowry Maher, the widow of his brother Mathew, in Adams County, Mississippi.
CAROLINE
EWING LOWRY
Caroline Ewing Lowry was born in Natchez, Mississippi May 25, 1811, the daughter of William Lowry and Nancy Fitzgerald Lowry, originally of Franklin County, Kentucky. The Lowrys appear to have moved to Natchez, MS about November 1810 when they sold their Kentucky house.[13] William passed away sometime between that time and November 23, 1815 when Nancy married Catesby B. Minnis in Natchez[14].
At some point between 1820-1830 the Minnises bought land in Madison Parish near Milliken’s Bend.[15] Caroline’s older sister, Eliza Jane, married Honoré P. Morancy of Natchez in 1818.[16] At that time Honoré was a professor of French, Greek and Latin at a college in Natchez.[17] They soon moved to the Milliken’s Bend area (then in Ouachita Parish) where Honoré became a Louisiana State Senator and was responsible for the creation in 1832 of Carroll Parish[18]. Madison Parish was created in 1838 and included the Milliken’s Bend area within its northern boundaries.
Caroline’s siblings were the afore-mentioned Eliza Jane (born 1803), Alfred J. (born 1808) and William, Jr. (born 8/30/1813.) Alfred later became a major landowner in the Milliken’s Bend area and is mentioned many times (along with the Mahers) in the book Brokenburn – The Journal of Kate Stone 1861-1868.[19] Eliza Jane died sometime after 1882, probably in Milliken’s Bend. Alfred died in Milliken’s Bend in 1867 and William Lowry, Jr. died in Adams County, Mississippi November 22, 1887.

Caroline, originally a Presbyterian, became a Roman Catholic after attending Nazareth Academy in Nazareth, Kentucky from 8/29/1825 through 7/17/1828 when she graduated.

It is presumed that Caroline lived in Milliken’s Bend between the time she graduated from Nazareth Academy in 1828 and the time she married Mathew Maher in 1830. Of course Mathew died in 1832 and she married his brother Philip in 1835.
From the time they married in 1835 until the Civil War, Philip and Caroline Maher were prominent landowners and cotton growers in the Milliken’s Bend area. In June 1836, Philip arranged with his brother-in-law, Alfred Lowry, to have use of the Catesby Minnis plantation house for “his lifetime or as long as said Maher sees proper to live on said plantation.”[20] This house was reported to be one of the finest, if not the finest, in the Milliken’s Bend area. During that same month Minnis and his wife, Nancy Fitzgerald Lowry Minnis, (Caroline and Alfred’s mother) sold and renounced all interests in their plantation, consisting of about 2100 acres, to Philip Maher and Alfred Lowry for $150,000[21]. Also included in the sale were 41 slaves and “all the stock of cattle, horses, hogs, sheep, farming utensils now on said plantation.”[22] It is believed that Mrs. Minnis was apparently in poor health at this time as she passed away before the end of 1836.
An interesting sidelight to this agreement was found in the Concordia Parish records and provided that during the month of January 1842 the Negro slaves involved in the trade will:
“have
the liberty of emigrating to Liberia and that any agent of any Colonization
Society shall be permitted to have intercourse with and converse with the above
named negroes during the month of January A.D. Eighteen hundred and forty two,
and ascertain whether any or all of them are willing to emigrate to Liberia,
those that wish to emigrate shall work on the plantation of the said Alfred J.
Lowry and Philip Maher (this day bought of C.B. Minnis)
one year, and as a compensation for the services of the said Alfred J. Lowry
and Philip Maher shall furnish money for the expenses to Liberia and good
clothes and provisions for one years ___? – all of which shall average one
hundred dollars each, those of the above named negroes who are unwilling to
have their freedom and migrate to Liberia shall then be slaves for life, the
property of Alfred J. Lowry and Philip Maher, but those that refuse to migrate
shall have the privilege of choosing as their master either of the above named
Alfred J. Lowry or Philip Maher, should the division not be equal between the
above named Alfred J. Lowry and Philip Maher of those who refuse to go to
Liberia, they shall be valued at cash prices, and the one having the most shall
pay over the differences to the other partner.”[23]
This unusual agreement, 25 years before the Civil War, was probably one of the first whereby a landowner would pay a slave’s way to Liberia.
About 1845 Philip and Caroline adopted a daughter whom they named Louise Watson Maher. Louise was born in New Orleans on December 8, 1844. Not much is known of Louise although it has been said that she was the biological child of either a Maher or a Lowry. Louise would later be credited with producing most of the known descendants of Philip and Caroline. Several years later the Mahers adopted another daughter and named her Ada C. Maher. Ada was born (probably in New Orleans) on March 13, 1847 as Ada C. T. Grivot. However, she is not listed with the Mahers in the 1850 census, and therefore must have been adopted after that date. The 1840 census lists two Grivots in New Orleans, A. and William, but there are no Grivots listed in the 1850 census.
According to the 1850 census Philip and Caroline’s Milliken’s Bend property was evaluated at $22,000, and they owned 84 slaves.[24] By 1860 their property value had increased to $300,000[25] and they owned 91 slaves. This was all about to change with the advent of the Civil War and, later, the southwestward migration of the Mississippi River.

Note the location of the land relative to: (1) the pre-Civil War position of
the River; (2) the current position of the River; and (3) the current levees.
Philip and Caroline were devout Catholics and as such were very concerned that they had no priest in their little church in Milliken’s Bend. On March 4, 1854 Caroline wrote the following letter to the Catholic Bishop[26]:
“I
beg leave to address you in the name of the congregation of Milliken's Bend and
state our situation to you. We have a very neat church of brick, 60 by 30 feet.
We have just had a new altar and a melodeon, have a good choir, etc. The number
of Catholics is about 30 permanent residents besides transients. About two
years ago the Archbishop sent us a clergyman whose health has been so delicate
that he has scarcely been able to preach since the first few weeks of his
residence among us. He left for New Orleans on the 10th of January where he
died on the 24th of the same month, and consequently we are without a pastor.
We therefore beg to have a visit from you, as early as you can conveniently do
so. Several families can accommodate you comfortably and would be happy to have
you stop with them; among the number I include ourselves.
Or if you cannot come, we hope you will be able to send us a clergyman at least
during the season of lent. I believe Mr. Kelly (Father Kelly) had a salary of
five or six hundred dollars a year."
signed C. E. Maher
This letter was quoted in Frances Alexander’s thesis Curtains for the Bend[27] as from “Mr.” Maher. However Caroline almost always signed her name “C. E. Maher.”
In Philip’s
1856 will he was very generous to Catholic charities leaving “$2,000 to
the Catholic Male Orphan Assylum in New Orleans;
$2,000 to the Widow’s home in New Orleans; $1,000 to the Female Orphan Assylum in New Orleans; $1,000 to the Female Orphan Assylum in Natchez and $1,000 to the Female Orphan Assylum in Louisville, KY.”
In 1856 $1,000 was equivalent to $22,000 2005 dollars. Philip willed $100 a
year for ten years to the Milliken’s Bend Catholic Church, “provided there is a resident priest there, if there is not a permanent Priest, then in
that event, I wish the amount annually to be given for charitable purposes as may
seem fit by my dear wife...” Philip
also left to his two sisters in Bond County, Illinois and to a brother in
Indiana, “the land on which they lived”
(which he must have owned.) In addition he left the children of each sibling
$2,000.
Caroline’s 1856 will bequeathed $1,500 to the: “Female Orphan Assylum in Natchez.” She also left $100 a year for ten years to the Milliken’s Bend Catholic Church with the same resident priest provisions as Philip had except that if there was no priest there the money was to be given “to the Catholic Female Asylum in Natchez.” In addition she willed “to each of my dear Brothers and Sister’s children, one thousand dollars.” By 1856 Caroline had at least fourteen nieces and nephews on her side of the family, so she was committing to them at least $308,000 in today’s dollars.
Philip and Caroline’s wills contained many more provisions including sufficient amounts for their daughters, Louise and Ada “to be paid or invested for her (their) use & benefit when she (they) shall have attained the age of eighteen years.” Both Philip and Caroline died sixteen years later and by that time were in no position to honor their 1856 wills because the Civil War had cost them dearly.

In 1852 Louise, at the age of only 6, was enrolled in Caroline’s old boarding school, Nazareth Academy in Nazareth, Kentucky. To send a 6-year-old child off to boarding school would be unthought-of today, but in the 1800’s, when there were practically no public schools, it was fairly common, especially among the wealthy cotton-growers of the area. However, this apparently was just too much for 6 year-old Louise, and she left after only four months. She reenrolled in 1856 at the age of ten and left again after a year, evidently to attend St. Joseph’s Academy in Emmitsburg[28], Maryland.

Caroline’s enrollment records show her leaving in 1857, Nazareth’s Catalogue

Louise and Ada were not listed in the 1860 census because they were probably attending St. Joseph’s Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland where they had to stay until the end of the Civil War. Emmitsburg was located only about ten miles from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania where Gettysburg, the turning point battle of the Civil War, was fought. In fact, “Emmitsburg Road” is mentioned in every account of the Battle of Gettysburg. Except for St. Joseph’s, there is no record of Ada, who is somewhat of a mystery anyway, ever having attended another boarding school.

During the Civil War Philip’s plantation became part of a staging area for 20-30,000 Union troops under Generals Grant, Sherman and McLernan preparing to besiege Vicksburg. Houses were ransacked, and household items such as furniture, china, jewelry and silver were destroyed or stolen by Union troops or newly freed slaves. During this very tense time for Milliken’s Bend residents, many abandoned their homes and temporarily moved away to areas less likely to be involved in military activity[29]. Philip and Caroline were no different and appear to have moved to “Woodvil” then in the hills of Jackson Parish. Woodville is located about 7 miles southwest of Ruston and is now in Lincoln Parish, but of course there was no Lincoln Parish then.

After the Civil War most returning landowners found their property in shambles, if anything at all remained. Homes, barns, levees, and most other farm infrastructures had to be rebuilt. As a result property values dropped to an all-time low. In addition, those who had borrowed money to purchase their slaves, which included most slave-owners, now had lost all of their slaves but still owed the banks for them. Slavery, as bad as it was, was not illegal at the time, and the unfortunate slave-owners were left “holding the bag.” Many formerly prominent landowners sold out, packed their bags and left.
This situation was no different for Philip and Caroline Maher. Although it is not certain exactly when they returned to Madison Parish, it was probably soon after the Civil War. The 1870 census lists no value for Philip’s real estate[30], which had been valued at $300,000 in 1860. However the real estate was now in Caroline’s name, but with a value of only $40,000. Louise is listed as “at home”, but Ada, having married George D. Shadburne on June 4, 1867[31], was now living in San Francisco.
Except for what they took with them to Jackson Parish, there was probably little left of the Maher’s household goods. However, some of their silver survived and is pictured below.

Louise Maher married John Francis Graves on January 31, 1872[32]. Caroline Maher died in Milliken’s Bend 19 days later on February 19, 1872. From her will it is obvious that she had taken over the plantation business and that Philip, who passed away 5 months later on July 8, 1872, had been an invalid since before 1870. Both were believed to have had consumption (tuberculosis.)[33]
Caroline’s will[34],
dated December 9, 1870, and directed to Louise provided in part the following:
My
dear Louise, knowing the uncertainty of life I now make
this my last holographic Will and Testimony. As you and Ada
are not forced heirs at Law I wish to provide for you to the best of my
ability. In case of my death before your fathers, I wish you to remain with and
take good care of him. I wish some trusty person employed to take care of him,
and the wages paid out of the proceeds of the crops of the Oakley Plantation
& besides I wish you to have paid to you six hundred dollars per annum
during his life for his support besides his clothing & Drs fees, which I
also wish paid for out of the crops. I wish in the event of his death that he
should be buried near me in the Natchez Cemetery, near my mother where we own a
lot. (Their graves have never been located.)... I leave
you sole executrix of my estate. Hoping you will frequently and fervently pray
for the repose of your Father's & my Soul I remain as ever your devoted and
affectionate mother, Caroline Maher, Oakley Plantation, Milliken's Bend Dec 9th
1870.

Louise Maher Graves and John Francis Graves
As mentioned earlier, Louise Watson Maher married John Francis Graves on January 31, 1872. This union would produce most of the Maher descendants. The Graves families were early settlers of Mississippi having come there from South Carolina before 1802 (Mississippi was admitted into the Union in 1817) and settled along the Comite River between Wilkinson and Amite Counties.
John Frances Graves was born in Amite County, Mississippi in 1838, the son of James J. Graves and Charlotte Ayers Graves. Charlotte apparently died shortly after John Francis’ birth and James J. died around 1846, leaving John Francis an orphan at age 8. He seems to have been raised by his grandmother, Rebecca Graves. He came to Madison Parish sometime before 1860 as he is listed in the 1860 census[35] as a clerk.
During the Civil War John Francis joined Company B of the 25th Regiment of Louisiana Infantry in 1862; was released because of sickness; then in 1863 joined Company F of the 3rd Regiment of the Louisiana Cavalry where he served until the war ended in 1865.[36]

Louise and John Francis Graves lived in the Maher house in Milliken’s Bend where they raised 5 daughters and a son. Born first was Carrie Maher Graves (named for her maternal grandmother, Caroline Lowry Maher), born October 15, 1872. Next was Charlotte Ayers Graves (named for her maternal grandmother Charlotte Ayers Graves), born February 19, 1874. Next was Louise Watson Graves (named for Louise), born November 5, 1875. Next was Ada Shadburne Graves (named for her aunt Ada Maher Shadburne), born August 28, 1877. Next was their only son, John Francis Graves, Jr. (named for John Francis) born October 14, 1879. And finally Mary Lucia Graves, the youngest, was born November 15, 1881.
Life became increasingly harder for Louise and John Francis and their family, which became larger and larger. The Mississippi River continually eroded away their land (see previous map and map below) such that the house had to be moved back at least 3 times. Today their original home site is located about a mile across and on the east side of the river. Also, most of what is left on the Louisiana side of their plantation is on the levee side of the river and therefore subject to annual floods. In addition John Francis became blind and Louise became an invalid, apparently crippled by consumption.
In 1876 The Citizens State bank of Louisiana foreclosed on Oakley Plantation, and the family must have moved to Lake Providence sometime thereafter.
Plat
showing what remained of Oakley in 1876.
By the time that Louise passed away on August 24, 1892 the family was living in Lake Providence. Her obituary stated:[37]
Died
in Lake Providence in the 47th year of her age, LOUISE MAHER GRAVES, beloved
wife of John F. Graves, formerly of Madison Parish.
The much loved child of fond parents, she was reared in a lovely home
surrounded by all that wealth and affection could lavish. The tender years of
her infancy and childhood were guided by these loving hearts, who ever
instilled in her mind precepts of virtue and religion. As she grew and attained
girlhood she was placed in a Maryland Convent, where her education was
completed by the accomplished Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul. This early piety,
so impressed on her youth, she retained in after years; even when sorrows and
misfortunes overshadowed her life, until at times there scarcely seemed to be
left a ray of hope to cheer her path. An invalid for years, she never faltered,
constantly clinging to her faith, feeling that it is only in the shadow of the
Cross a soul is dear to God, repeating with Job: The Lord gave and the Lord has
taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord! (Job.1c.21v.) She
has left a devoted husband and six children to mourn her loss. May God comfort
their sorrow-stricken hearts?
"There is no death! What seems so
is transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call death.
In that great cloister's stillness and seclusion.
By
guardian angels led
Safe
from temptation, safe from sin's pollution,
She
lives whom we call dead!"
Looking down
the vista of time, I see a vision of a fair, blue-eyed, sunny-haired child,
whose life was replete with happiness and blessings - the petted idol of the
household, whose budding childhood gave promise of a life that knew neither
care nor sorrow - but lo! the said tidings are
received of her death, of her long and painful illness, of her many crushing
misfortunes! Oh! How forcible we realize the wisdom of withholding the future
from our view! Could we lift the veil, who would dare
do so! God is good, just and merciful, and dying as she lived in the faith of
the grand old Catholic Church, we believe her translated to the land where
reign only happiness and sunshine, where the memory of what she suffered is
swallowed up in the fruition of eternal bliss. May she rest in peace!
AGNES.[38]
Milliken's
Bend, Sept. 1st, 1892.
When Louise died in 1892 at age 47 the two youngest daughters, Ada and Mary, were 15 and 9 respectively. With John Francis blind and unable to care for them former Governor Lowry[39] of Mississippi (1882-1890) reportedly offered to adopt them. It this is true it lends credence to the notion that Louise’s biological parents were from either the Lowry or Maher family. In this case it would have been the Lowry family.
There was no adoption, however, and, following their mother’s death in 1892, the two girls were sent to a convent in Chicago[40] where they were educated. John Francis went to live in the Soldier’s Home in New Orleans.[41] He died in Madison Parish on October 15, 1911 after living alternatively at the Soldier’s Home in New Orleans and in Madison Parish. He is buried in Tallulah’s Silver Cross Cemetery.
On April 16, 1893 Carrie Graves married Dr. James I. Richard[42] – a prominent New Orleans physician. There they raised three children, Carrie, Katie and Stephen. Carrie died in 1931, and Dr. Richard died on March 17, 1935. Both died in New Orleans and both are buried in the Lafayette No. 1 Cemetery in New Orlean’s Garden District.

Charlotte Graves, who was called “Lottie”, married William H. Pierson, a merchant in Tallulah, on April 28, 1898. They had one child, a daughter, Wylma. All three are buried in Silver Cross Cemetery in Tallulah.
Louise Graves married George W. Jordan, Sr., a Madison Parish farmer, on February 16, 1897. They had six children, Ben, Louise, Irene[43], George, Jr., Mallie and Tobe. All are buried in Silver Cross Cemetery, Tallulah except George, Jr. and Tobe. George is buried in Baton Rouge and Tobe is buried in Castor.
Ada Shadburne Graves married William P. Sevier, Sr., a Madison Parish merchant, at Stamboul Plantation in East Carroll Parish, LA on November 29, 1898. Their children were William P., Jr.[44], Nan, John, Barton, Ada Maie, James[45], Charlotte and Laura. All, except for Charlotte who is still living, are buried in Silver Cross Cemetery in Tallulah except Laura who is buried in Jennings, LA.
Little is known of John Francis Graves, Jr. He married Wilhelmina Aitken in New Orleans on October 6, 1906,[46] and they had one daughter, Frances. John Francis, Jr. was a “steam railroad” clerk[47] and died in New Orleans December 24, 1914.[48]
Mary Graves married George W. Davis in Madison Parish on June 12, 1902. Their children were Mattie, John, Joseph, Lottie and Lucia. All were born in Jonesville, LA. George died September 12, 1942 and Mary died May 6, 1968. Both are buried in Jonesville.
Ada Maher Shadburne and
George David Shadburne
Ada Maher and George David Shadburne were married in Milliken’s Bend on June 4, 1867. George, born in Brenham, Texas in 1843, was son of William Henry and Eliza Ann Shadburne. Originally from Bardstown, Kentucky, the Shadburnes moved from Texas to Madison Parish before 1860.
George’s uncle, for whom he was named, Dr. George D. Shadburne, also a native of Bardstown, Kentucky, was well known in Madison Parish and apparently settled there between 1843 and 1850. He is credited with bringing Dr. Henry Clay Lewis to Madison Parish as his partner. Lewis was an author that wrote under the penname “Madison Tensas”, and whose humorous stories were originally published in Spirit of the Times, a New York weekly. In 1850 the stories were published in a book called Odd leaves from the Life of a Louisiana Swamp Doctor. LSU Press republished the book in 1962, edited by John Q. Anderson – a Texas A & M professor -- as Louisiana Swamp Doctor, The Life and Writings of Henry Clay Lewis.[49]

George D. Shadburne served with distinction as a Confederate during the Civil War.[50]
George D. Shadburne entered Confederate service on December 16, 1861,
near Centreville, Virginia, and served with passion throughout the Civil War.
He joined the Jefferson Davis Legion as a private, but quickly rose to sergeant
in Company A. The Legion served gallantly in the East and took part in Jeb
Stuart's skirting of the Union army in June 1862. The next year the Legion
served under Wade Hampton and fought at Brandy Station, Gettysburg, and Bristoe Station. Late in 1863 Shadburne
was assigned to Hampton's 2nd South Carolina Cavalry. When Hampton took command
of the Army of Northern Virginia's cavalry corps, he ignored Shadburne's low rank and made him chief of his scouts.
Wade Hampton
said of Shadburne, "as soon as a fight began he
was instantly transformed into the dashing cavalryman, his whole soul seemed to
be in the battle.... Armed with at least two pistols and often three, he would
dash against the enemy firing with a rapidity and precision not surpassed by
even Mosby who was very handy with his pistol." During the summer of 1864 Shadburne became one of Hampton's notorious "Iron
Scouts," who hid along the Blackwater River just
two miles from Grant's lines near City Point, Va. Wearing Yankee uniforms, they
skillfully eluded capture while they killed and captured Union pickets and
couriers and interfered with wagon trains and telegraph lines. Shadburne also informed Hampton of some 2,500 head of
poorly protected cattle that were just five miles south. Shadburne
helped lead the Beefsteak Raid, which netted much needed meat, Union supplies,
and 304 Yankee prisoners.
Shadburne was captured on March 6, 1865, near Fredericksburg. He was sent to Fort Monroe, Va., then to Wallkill, a Union prison barge at City Point. Charged with being a spy, he faced hanging, but escaped on March 10th and returned to the Iron Scouts. After the war he went to San Francisco, where he became a lawyer and family man. [51]
Shadburne’s biography appeared in the 1901 History of the Bar and Bench of California as follows:
George
David Shadburne was born in Brenham, Texas. June 13.
1842.
He comes of old English and French ancestry. The town
of "Shadburne," in Essex, England, was
named after some of his paternal ancestors. His great grandfather, Amos Shadburne, settled in Louisville, Kentucky, early in the
eighteenth century. His grandfather, William Shadburne,
settled in Bardstown. Kentucky, about the beginning of the nineteenth century,
and there married Miss Prudence Merrinee, whose
family had just arrived from France.
His father, William Henry Harrison Shadburne,
at the age of eighteen, went to Texas and joined in the Texas Revolution in
which he had numerous hairbreadth escapes, and was engaged in many battles,
being in at the close, at the battle of San Jacinto. He married Miss Eliza
Wheeler, from Mississippi, of which marriage our present Mr. Shadburne was the issue.
Born, as it were, on the battlefield in
the stirring times of the Texan Republic, Mr. Shadburne
at an early age imbibed a love of independence, which has followed through
life. He was educated at St. Mary's College, Kentucky. At the age of nineteen
he entered the Confederate Army to fight for the integrity of his native state.
By his skill, bravery and dash
he was soon the leader of scouts of the army of Lee in northern Virginia, and
as chief of General Wade Hampton's Scouts, he made much of the history of the
ill-starred Confederacy.
For over two years, in the position of
leader of scouts of the Army of Northern Virginia, he rendered valuable service
to his beloved Southland, and was loved and esteemed by all his comrades and
commanders. When the sun of the Confederacy had gone down in blood and disaster
and nothing but charred ruins and desolation were to be seen in the South, Mr. Shadburne attempted to leave this country for Brazil,
failing in which, he sought retirement, seclusion and reflection near
Bardstown, Kentucky where he pursued the study of law. In the spring of 1867 he
was admitted to the bar at New Orleans, Louisiana, and practiced his profession
for a short time thereafter at Milliken's Bend in that state. There on June 13,
1867, he married Miss Ada M. Grivot,
a young lady of great beauty, education and refinement and a member of one of
the oldest and best French families of Louisiana.
On June 13, 1868, Mr. Shadburne and his young wife arrived in San Francisco where
he has since resided.
In California he has been constantly, arduously,
and assiduously engaged in the practice of his profession, which he esteems in
its integrity. There is no fee great enough, and no influence persuasive
enough, to induce him to take a dishonest case.
He is unflinchable
and desperately in earliest in pushing his cases, and never knows defeat as
long as there is a court to which he may appeal. He has had much conspicuous
litigation, and his success has been proverbial. He has acquired a fine home
on California Street Hill, San Francisco, and also owns the substantial brick
building on Sacramento street in which his law offices
are located. He is a man of most positive character, but he has most engaging
manners and manifests a personal interest in everybody, and everybody seems to
be his friend. Mr. Shadburne has been an ardent
advocate of all the great improvements in San Francisco since his settlement
there, and has done much for the growth and development of the State. He will
be greatly regretted when he goes to his fathers.
George and Ada Shadburne became important members of San Francisco society, and George, a well-respected attorney, prospered. The obituary[52] of their son, George D. Shadburne, Jr., called the parents “among the prominent pioneers of the city.”
In addition to being a Civil War fighter George also
fought in court. The January 31, 1901 issue of the San Francisco Chronicle has this to say:
Many thanks to Bob Etienne of Ashland, OR for this
bit of information
The lie passed between two lawyers and a
scrimmage followed yesterday morning in Superior Judge Sloss’
courtroom. The belligerents were George D. Shadburne
and H. H. Lowenthal. Shadburne
is classed as a fire-eater of the Southern type and for years was conspicuous
as the leader of the people who opposed the cattlemen and fought before
succeeding Boards of Supervisors for the extension of the pound limits. He is a
tall, heavily built man and is reported to be eager for the fray at the drop of
the hat. Even the reckless cowpunchers and quarrelsome vaqueros held his
prowess in respect, and as the leader of the opposition they admitted that they
did not wish to tackle him.
Lowenthal was suffering from locomotor
ataxia, and it was thought he was courting instant death when he passed the lie
to his stalwart and fiery opponent.
The
suit of E. H. Ashton against Elisabeth Varney and Henry Varney to recover
$850 on a promissory note was being tried. It involved the question of rights
under a transfer of title. Shadburne asked for a
certain deed, which he claimed Lowenthal had agreed
to produce in court. Lowenthal denied that he had
promised to produce that particular paper.
“If you say you did
not promise to produce it, you state what is false." declared Shadburne.
“If you say my
statement is false you are a liar" retorted Lowenthal,
who was half-seated on the corner of a table.
No sooner was the word "liar"
uttered than Shadburne struck Lowenthal
over the eye with a bunch of papers he held in his hand. Then Lowenthal picked up his cane from the table and brought it down
with a resounding thwack on Shadburne’s pate. The
blood spurted from the wound and a large welt rose where the cane had struck
the bald spot on the lawyer's scalp. Shadburne
squared off as if about to annihilate his adversary, when Charlie Morris, the
courtroom clerk, sprang between the belligerents, wrenching the cane from Lowenthal and pushing Shadburne
to one side.
Judge Sloss
sternly rebuked the fighting lawyers and ordered them to appear at 2 P. M. and purge
themselves of contempt. At that hour the belligerents apologized. Lowenthal stated that this was probably the last case he
would try in this country as he was going to Europe. Judge Sloss,
not wishing to delay the departure of the doughty lawyer, forgave both
offenders, announcing at the same time that he thought they should have been
punished to uphold the dignity of the court.
George and Ada had two daughters and four sons: Carra (sometimes spelled Cara or Carrie) May, George, Jr., Ada, Leonard A., Wade Hampton (named after George’s commander, General Wade Hampton (later two time governor of South Carolina), and William Robert. Ada appears to have died about 1904. By 1910 George had remarried Florence McKay, a woman 35 years his junior who he had met while visiting his daughter, Carra, in Bardstown, KY, and was the father of a 2 year old and an infant.[53] George D. Shadburne passed away in May 1921 in Alameda, CA.

Carra (Cara or Carrie or Cora) Shadburne was born February 17, 1868 in Milliken’s Bend, Louisiana. On May 7, 1889 she married Nathaniel Wickliffe Muir[54] in Louisville, KY. They settled in Bardstown, KY, Nathaniel’s hometown, where he was a banker. Their only child, George D. Shadburne Muir was born November 11, 1901. All three, Carra, Nathaniel and George were killed in a tragic train wreck at Shepherdsville, KY while returning from a Christmas shopping trip on December 20, 1917. All are buried in Bardstown – a town to which the Maher and Lowry families had several not totally understood connections.
George D. Shadburne Jr. was born in California December 4, 1869. Between 1910 and 1920 he married Victoria Mugarrieta, daughter of Commandante Jose Marcos Mugarrieta, an officer in the Mexican army for forty years and founder of the Constitutional Consulate of Mexico in San Francisco, the first recognized by the United States government after the war of 1847-49.[55]

George and Victoria were highly visible in San Francisco social and diplomatic circles.[56] He was a wealthy real estate broker and officed in San Francisco, although he lived in San Mateo. Unfortunately George overextended himself financially until June 9, 1927 when he took his own life.[57] They did not appear to have had any children. Victoria died March 20, 1945 in San Francisco.
Ada Shadburne was born in California about 1872. She appears in the 1880 census as being 8 years old. The 1890 census was lost due to a fire, and she is not in the 1900 census. So she must have died or married during the 1880-1900 period.
Leonard A. Shadburne was born in California about 1873. He first married Mary Elizabeth Randman in Lake County, Indiana on April 26, 1906[58]. Between 1920 and 1930 he married Josephine ???. It is not known whether either marriage produced any children. Leonard was working as an auto broker in Chicago, IL in 1920 and in 1930 as a loan broker. It is not known when or where he died.
Wade Hampton Shadburne was born in California July 30, 1881. He was married to Lula ??? sometime before 1902 when their daughter Edna was born. In 1920 they were living in Chicago, IL where Wade was listed as an automobile broker.[59] Wade died in April 1968 in St. Louis, MO.[60]
William Robert Shadburne was born in California November 19, 1889. In 1910 he was living in San Francisco with his wife Eldora Locke Shadburne and was listed as an automobile sales agent. Their son, William Robert Shadburne, Jr. was born July 20, 1912 and is currently living in Grass Valley, CA. William and Eldora must have divorced before 1920 because at that time Eldora and her son, William Jr., were living with her parents in Pleasanton, CA[61]. No entry can be found for William in 1920. However, by 1930 he was married to the former Viola Freear and they were living in Sacramento, where he is listed as a stockbroker. According to the obituary for his brother, George, he was also living in Sacramento when George died in June 1927. William died in Amador, CA on March 20, 1957. Viola died July 19, 1955 in Siskyou, CA.
In 1840 census only lists “Heads of Families” by name and groups others by age categories. There appears to be at least one other Maher besides Philip living in Madison Parish. This is may be M. T. Maher who is probably be the “1” in the 15-20 age group.[62] In 1850 M. T. Maher was listed as an overseer. M. T. was 29 at the time and born in Ireland.[63] It is believed that M. T. Maher was an overseer to both Philip Maher and Thomas FitzWilliam and was either a cousin or nephew of Philip’s.[64] No mention of M. T. Maher has been found after 1850.
By 1860 a Mathew F. Maher and his wife Winnie, ages about 27 and 19 respectively, had arrived in Madison Parish from Ireland.[65] Like M. T., Mathew F. Maher was probably Philip’s cousin or nephew. By 1870 Mathew and Winnie had 2 boys Philip and Eddie, age 8 and 3 respectively.[66] Unfortunately Mathew died about 1871, and on June 14, 1872 Winnie married Daniel F. Cresswell, a Milliken’s Bend grocer originally from Tennessee.[67]
By 1880 the only Mahers left in Madison Parish were two Negroes who must have taken the name after the Civil War.
