     Margaret Davis was born on 29 April 1808 at New Jersey, USA; Hulsey lists 29 Apr 1808. 1850 and 1870 census lists age as 43 and 63 which would indicate 1806-1807. 1860 census lists 50
1870 also lists Penn instead of NJ, but son Samuel's US census entries all list NJ for both parents.^1,4,2,5,6,3 She married Henry Jones, son of John Jones and Elizabeth Barber, on 24 March 1827 at Salem, New Jersey, USA.^7,3,1 Margaret Davis and Henry Jones appeared on the census of 1 June 1850 at Jackson Twp, Preble, Ohio, USA.⁸

     Henry Jones was born between 1801 and 1802 at New Jersey, USA; Hulsey lists 30 Aug 1813, which makes for a 13 y/o groom and an 18 y/o bride. The 1850 census lists age as 48 which goes with b'date in 1801-1802 for a 24 to 25 y/o groom. Much better. I think the Pennsylvania birth state in the 1850 censue is suspect since the same state is listed for all househole members, which is not true for at least three or four of them. New Jersey seems more likely and is listed in son Samuel's US census entries. -seh.^2,3,1,4 He was the son of John Jones and Elizabeth Barber.¹ Henry Jones married Margaret Davis on 24 March 1827 at Salem, New Jersey, USA.^5,1,2 Henry Jones appeared on the census of 1 June 1830 at Mannington, Salem, New Jersey, USA.⁶ He appeared on the census of 1 June 1840 at Preble, Ohio, USA.⁷ He and Margaret Davis appeared on the census of 1 June 1850 at Jackson Twp, Preble, Ohio, USA.⁸ Henry Jones died before 1860; Not listed in Margaret Jones' 1860 US Census entry.^9,2
