57049 Thomas B. Maw Biography

>From "History of Davenport and Scott County" Vol. II by Harry E. Downer-S. J. Clarke Publishing Co. 1910 Chicago.


Surnames: Maw, Thompson, Riley, Brownlee, Fuller, Little, Whistler, Clapp.

Thomas B. Maw, who owns and cultivates a farm of one hundred and sixty acres of productive land in Winfield township and is also part owner of a tract of twenty acres of timber land on the Wapsie, was born in Allens Grove township, Scott county, November 20, 1845, a son of Johnson and Julia (Thompson) Maw. The father a native of England, was born in 1814, acquired his education in the schools of that country and afterward learned the tailor's trade. In the years 1834 he sailed for the United States and settled in New York, where he spent two years. About 1841 he came to the middle west and established his home in Allens Grove township, Scott county, Iowa. This was several years before the state was admitted to the Union and even the counties bordering the Mississippi were but sparsely settled, the work of improvement and cultivation being scarcely begun. Wild game was quite plentiful and the prairies were covered with their native grasses. Mr. Maw entered raw land from the government, for which he paid the usual price of a dollar and a quarter per acre. He began with about eighty acres and as the years passed he added to his original holdings from time to time until he was the owner of more than three hundred acres at his demise. He was diligent and persevering in business and the careful manner in which he cultivated his farm made it a valuable and productive property. He also took an active part in community affairs and held most of the township offices, also serving as school director and trustee. He was elected on the democratic ticket and always remained a stanch advocate of the democracy. He was also one of the organizers of the Grange and did everything in his power to advance agricultural interests in this part of the state.

Johnson Maw died in 1899, while his wife passed away at the age of sixty-five years. She was born in Virginia and came with her parents to Scott county, Iowa, about 1840, the journey being made with ox-teams across the country from the Old Dominion. The Thompson family also established their home in Allens Grove township and in this locality Mr. Maw continued to reside until called to her final rest. By her marriage she became the mother of ten children, namely: Elizabeth, the wife of John Riley of Allens Grove township; Thomas B., of this re; John E., who makes his home in Nebraska; George, a resident of Davenport; Hannah, the wife of R. K. Brownlee, of long Grove, this county; Frederick, a resident of Idaho; Linnie, who became the wife of a Mr. Fuller and is now deceased; Nellie, of long Grove; Stephen, who lives in Nebraska; and Morgan, of Davenport.

Thomas B. Maw has spent his entire life in this county and his memory goes back to the time when the homes were widely scattered, when the land was largely uncultivated and when there were few of the advantages known to the older east. In his childhood he attended the district schools of Allens Grove township and there learned the carpenter's trade, for about ten years assisting in the erection of many houses and buildings in Scott county and especially in Allens Grove township. At length he abandoned that trade to resume the occupation of farming and for a few years rented land from his father, during which period he carefully saved his earning until his capital was sufficient to enable him to purchase eighty acres of land in Winfield township. It was an improved tract, upon which he mad his home for twelve years, when he sold out and bought his present farm, which he purchased from John Little, who had bought it from the government. Upon this place Mr. Maw has remained continuously since and has made nearly all of the improvements which constitute this one of the attractive farms of the district. The fields are carefully tilled and return him good crops, while upon this place he keeps good grades of stock.

On the 16th of March, 1882, Mr. Maw was married to Miss Jane Whistler, a daughter of Thomas and Betsey Whistler, of Allens Grove township. Mrs. Maw was born in Buffalo, Scott county, and is fifty-five years of age. By her marriage she became the mother of two children: Ruby, who married George Clapp and has one child, Zella; and Ollie E., who was killed by a horse in 1908, when eighteen years of age. Mr. and Mrs. Clapp reside with her parents.

Mr. Maw has served as school director of Winfield township and has ever been interested in the cause of education, realizing how valuable is intellectual training as a preparation for life's practical and responsible duties. For sixty-five years he has witnessed the growth and development of the county as it has thrown off the evidences of pioneer life and taken on all the conditions which indicate modern progress. He has seen the wild land transformed into rich fields, the pioneer homes replaced by commodious and substantial residences, while villages have been converted into enterprising towns and cities. At all times he has been interested in the welfare of the community and rejoices in what has been accomplished. He is now practically living retired, leaving the active work of the farm to his son-in-law but retaining the ownership of the property he derives therefrom a substantial annual income.
