I wonder about this -- the dates are right, but in the 1850 and 1860 censuses, she's Elizabeth; in 1880 she was Mary L., and her daughter Julia's death certificate calls her "Lizzie." Is it reasonable that a Marguerite would eventually be a Mary or a Lizzie? I don't honestly know! Can I ask -- where did you find these records? Are they online someplace? I'd love to dig through them. Thank you again! This is a tremendous help. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
