Margaret was a niece of Catharine Bobbitt and is counted here as a visitor to the family. Note that Catharine stated she was born in 1830 which has to be wrong. She was married in 1840.

The 1880 census was the first to ask each family member to list where their parents were born. The family was counted on June 16, 1880 in Clinton County, as living in Wilmington. Note that Mary has changed her age to a lower figure by eight years.
