Cox story to WCK:FRA, and they may use it in their quarterly. I cited Henry L. Iler as md. 2nd to Mary (Campbell) Stewart - I should have added "widow of Richard Stewart" for clarification. I feel pretty comfortable with this, and if it turns out wrong, I will have to send out a correction. I know it was a little risky - but then I also think we did a lot of research by process of elimination, too. Because of the marriage date, I think, personally, that only the last two children were Henry L. Iler's and Mary Stewart's children. I agree with Billy Morris that Richard may have been Mary's child by husband Richard and named for him (the last little eight year old.) And that maybe the census taker just took it for granted he was an Eiler because both boys were eight. Maybe he thought they were twins, who knows? Census takers were notorious for making mistakes when they recopied their enumerations, sometimes. And after all, they have been working by lamplight at night!
