NOTE: The above entry is believed to be the same family, since there are, in my opinion, too many similarities to be otherwise. The younger Laura in 1900 seems to have "adjusted" itself by the 1920 Census when she admitted to 43 years of age, closer to her true birth (see her Notes).
- This stll leaves open an issue of too many named children. The 1880 & 1900 Census reports have a total of 8 named children, while Margaret reports having had only 7. It APPEARS that there is either an error or changing of a name involving Francis W. and Charles J., since the former appears only in 1880, and the latter only in 1900 but as a 25 year old. Of course, it is possible that there were indeed 8 children and Charles was missed in 1880. (WHS*)
