==Family history==
Muir was born February 9, 1911 at 110 Downing Street, in Yonkers, New York.〔Muir, Helen. ''Baby Grace Sees the Cow'', p. 9〕 She was named after her mother, Helen Teresa Flaherty. Her maternal great-grandfather, Geoffrey O'Flaherty of Waterford, and great-grandmother Katherine Fitzgerald of County Clare, had left Ireland during the Irish Potato Famine. The family stopped using the "O" and was later known as "Flaherty."〔Muir, Helen. ''Baby Grace Sees the Cow'', p. 5〕 Her father, Emmet Aloysius Lennehan, was the child of Margaret "Maggie" McGann and Timothy Lennehan, who taught philosophy in Dublin, before coming to the United States.〔 Her paternal great-grandfather, Phillip McGann, fought for the Union in the Irish Brigade in the Battle of Gettysburg and was shot down defending a stone wall and waving an American flag.〔
Emmet began playing piano in a saloon at 14 years old, with shots of whiskey as payment. He walked with a limp, because he was injured as a child sliding down a banister of his family's home, and used a cane.〔Muir, Helen. ''Baby Grace Sees the Cow'', p. 11〕 He and Muir's mother, known as "Nellie" met very young, and eloped when they were eighteen and nineteen years old in Lake Champlain. When they returned, they were married again in a Catholic ceremony at St. Peter's Church, at their families' insistence.〔 Emmet studied accounting by mail with Pace Correspondence School. He took a job as a bookkeeper with Spreckel's Sugar Company, and worked his way up, eventually becoming the head of the fixed capital department at United Electric Company, which became Consolidated Edison.〔 Muir had two sisters, the older Katherine, "Kay," and a younger sister Marjorie.〔Muir, Helen. ''Baby Grace Sees the Cow'', p. 19〕
She credited her grandfather, John Henry Augustine Flaherty with teaching her how to read at a very young age.〔Muir, Helen. ''Baby Grace Sees the Cow.'' p. 1〕 He was also a writer for the ''New York World''.〔Muir, Helen. ''Baby Grace Sees the Cow'', p. 21〕 Katherine's husband, Robert Roth, was a writer as well, and served as managing editor of the Mt. Vernon paper, before becoming the Washington correspondent for the ''Philadelphia Bulletin''.〔Muir, Helen. ''Baby Grace Sees the Cow'', p. 23〕
