It was nice to finally have the mystery solved on the two Chilcote/Chilcoat ladies from my two different family lines (Christena Chilcote m-William F. Roop & Elizabeth Louisa Chilcoat m- David Album Saum) & to learn that they were 2nd cousins. I just had such a strong feeling that they had to be related, since both were in Van Wert Co. OH. But who were the parents of the ones in the cenus that Margie Pearce found? 1880 Jefferson Twp, Hillsdale County, MI page 168D Chillcote, Hethcote; 72; PA; MD; MD; farmer , Anna; wife; 61; PA; PA; PA , Emeline; dau; single; 23; IN , Martha A.; dau; 19; IN , George W.; son; 19; IN Parkey, Charl; other; single; 23; MI; wagon maker (spelled as in census) Bobbi
