There is a Mary, age 5, listed on the 1860 Putnam Co. MO census, living with Simon Markley Whitt and his wife, Elizabeth Whitt. This would make her born about 1855, so that fits. Then, in the 1870 Crawford Co., Arkansas census, instead of Mary, there is a M.J. listed (could be Martha Jane), age 14, still living with Simon Markley Whitt and Elizabeth Whitt. Everything still fits. Then, in the 1880 Benton Co., Arkansas census, we have a child named Cynthia Williams, age 8, listed as the granddaughter, living with Simon Markley Whitt and his wife. It still fits, with Cynthia Williams possibly being the daughter that died young. Also, the fact that her son was named Simon, makes this a likely match. I'm also a descendant of this Whitt line; Simon Markley Whitt's father was my great, great grandfather. Would love to share more.
