Jeannette Elizabeth Magor

• parents: daughter of Thomas Henry Magor (1848-1898) & Eliza J. Edwards (1851-1903). The surname was originally Meaghor. The parents of both Thomas and Eliza were born in England and emigrated to Wisconsin. (2; page 316).

[George West] Musgrave was also known as a card shark and a dead shot. There was one early murder rap from 1894 in Roswell that finally saw him stand trial under his real name. He beat it, arguing self-defense in a classic western discussion over who drew first. He charmed the jury into believing he was an upright family man making an honest living in Wyoming under one of his assumed names. His first wife, who later divorced him and lived for a time in downtown Tucson running some scams of her own in the '30s and who lived until 1976, was part of the sham that included borrowing someone else's child to fill out the family portrait.
