Hi Shellie,
I am working on figuring this out but you didn't put any locations in your query. Do you know where Eleanor was born? I did find John and Kate's marriage in Dubuque County in 1896 but they didn't put any information in it unfortunately.I suspect that your John may be the John that was divorced in Black Hawk County in 1885 from a wife by the name of Amanda. I found this in the newspapers.
I also found a Meggison in Dubuque county in a state census that had a daughter born in Black Hawk County so it is safe to assume they went back and forth.
I will let you know what else I find out through email. I have a girlhood friend who's maiden name is Blough and have even asked her to check with the family to see if they know anything about your "Grandma Blough".
