Notes:
                   There could be  two Margarets.   Mother Rachel Sheehy Porter listed she had 7 children, 4 living in 1900.  There is a child buried in Louisiana, but one child is still missing.  It might be assumed that the Margaret listed in the 1880 census is different than the Margaret listed in the 1900 census.  Except that the birthdate for Margaret listed in the pension packet for David Porter is in 1879.
