Shared note | In the 1850 US Federal Census for Upper Dickinson, Cumberland, Pennsylvania, the Mullen sisters, 14-year-old Hannah and 12-year-old Rachael are living in the household of 33-year-old farmer John G and Jane [maiden name unknown] Williams. Jane may be Hannah and Rachael's sister as they were orphaned in abt 1842. Others in the household are John and Jane's children, 3-year-old Florence and 2-year-old Maria Williams, 69-year-old deaf and dumb Jane Woods, 23-year-old Martha Woods and 6-year-old John McGranagle. Hannah and Rachael have attended school in the past year. John owns $3,500 worth of real estate. Everyone was born in Pennsylvania. In the 1860 US Federal Census for Minnapolis, Hennepin, Minnesota, 20-year-old Pennsylvania-born Margaret Mullen is living with 55-year-old farmer Pennsylvania-born Andrew W Oliver, presumably head of household since he is listed first, Andrews Pennsylvania-born wife, 49-year-old Sarah, 9-year-old Wisconsin-born Frank Miller, 48-year-old clergyman Pennsylvania-born James A MacKay and his wife, 49-year-old Massachusetts-born Sophrona MacKay and 22-year-old Indiana-born farmer Bethuel Casland [Joseph Bethuel McCaslin). Margarets relationship is to the Olivers, Frank Miller, and the MacKays is unknown. Presumably Sarah Oliver is Margarets sister as Margarets parents died by the time she was 6 and both Sarah and Margaret were born in Pennsylvania. The relationship to Bethuel McCaslin is known (he is probably her fianc) as he left her a bequest during his service in the 3rd Minnesota Regiment, Company C in 1863. Miscellaneous records in the Recorder's office for Johnson County, Indiana, Book I page 14 have the following note: Joseph Bethuel McCaslin of the City of St Anthony, , Hennepin, Minnesota, age of 25 years mentions Miss Rachel Margaret Mullen of St Anthony, Minnesota, "my brother George and Sister Rachel Amanda of Franklin, Johnson, Indiana and father Harvey [Hervey] McCaslin of Franklin, [Johnson] County, Indiana. The date of the document is 1863. Joseph enlisted in the 3rd Minnesota Regiment on 5 Oct 1861 at Fort Snelling, Minnesota and died on 8 August 1864 at Little Rock, Arkansas. In the 1870 US Federal Census for St Anthony, Hennepin, Minnesota, 31-year-old Pennsylvania-born Margaret Mullen, who has $1,500 in real estate and $350 in personal property, is apparently running a boarding house. Living with her are 32-year-old Pennsylvania-born Hannah Mullen (her sister), 36-year-old Rhode Island-born lumber surveyor Charles Ladd, 32-year-old school teacher Pennsylvania-born Kate Gibson, 26-year-old Massachusetts-born clergyman Charles Plummer, and 18-year-old North Carolina-born university student John Brown.

(Find A Grave Memorial# 125715618). Franklin Democrat, Friday, May 21, 1920 DEATH OF MARGARET McCASLIN Mrs. Margaret McCaslin died at 3:00 oclock Tuesday afternoon at her home, corner of North Main and Madison streets, aged 82 years. She was one of the best known women of the community but for several years her health had been such as to keep her at her home almost continuously. This had been intensified by three accidents from falls which Mrs. McCaslin had sustained within the past few years, causing her to be confined to her bed for long periods. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at four oclock from the late home, conducted by Rev. R. P. Jones, pastor of the Presbyterian church, where Mrs. McCaslin had long held membership, assisted by Rev. J. B. Ferguson of Hopewell. The body was taken to Minneapolis, Minn. for interment. Margaret Mullen McCaslin was born near Carlisle, Pa., May 7, 1838. When a young girl she moved with her parents to Minneapolis, Minn., where she made her home for many years. She was married December 25, 1878, to William McCaslin of Franklin, at Thomasville, Ga., where she was spending the winter. They returned to Franklin and went to housekeeping in the McCaslin home on North Main street. Mr. McCaslin who was one of the most successful and widely known farmers and business men of the county, died June 5, 1884. After his death Mrs., McCaslin continued to live in her North Main street home. During the last years of her life Mrs. McCaslin had been taken care of by her niece, Miss Marguerite McCullough. Mrs. McCaslin leaves no immediate relatives. Besides Miss McCullough and Miss Williams, she is survived by three other nieces and a nephew, all of whom live in the west. W. B. McCullough and Mrs. Hervey Voris were a nephew and niece of Mr. McCaslin. Marguerite is recorded as Margaret on most official records (except for the 1920 Census where she is recorded as Emma) and as Rachel Margaret in a bequest from Joseph Bethuel McCaslin, however, the History of Johnson County Indiana names her as Marguerite. Since people were paying to be included in this book, I assume that the publishers got her name the way she wanted it. |
