Notes:
Although the death certificate states Margaret was born in Indiana, all children were born in Ohio, as the family did not move to Indiana until 1850. Although Margaret's death certificate states that she was 69 when she died, she was actually 79. The year is obviously 1838. Also to note is that the gravestone states 1838.

Notes:
It appears that George the patriarch immigrated from Pennsylvania to Ohio and then between 1848 - 1850 they immigrated as a family to Indiana. Daniel was born in 1848 in Ohio. That must of been a tough ride with a baby in the family.
