| Shared note | David and Margret (Gilchrist) McCaslin's grandfathers, David Wasson McCaslin and George King were half-brothers, which makes them half second cousins, perhaps. In the 1850 US Federal Census for Franklin, Johnson, Indiana, 22-year-old Indiana-born farmer David A McCaslin has $1,600 in real estate. He is living with his 21-year-old Indiana-born wife. Margaret [Gilchrist] McCaslin one farmstead away from his first cousin once removed, David Wason McCaslin. David and Margaret (Gillcrist) McCaslin were dismissed from the First Presbyterian Church of Franklin on 17 Sep 1854, which must be close to the date that they moved to Iowa. In the 1856 Iowa State Census for Fairfield, Jefferson, Iowa, 27-year-old Indiana-born farmer David A McCaslin has two acres in oats (yield 67 bushels) and 300 acres in corn (yield 700 bushels). He has no livestock. He is a native voter and is in the militia. He and his 26-year-old Indiana-born wiife Margaret E [Gilchrist] have one child, 1-year-old Iowa-born Alonzo. In the 1860 US Federal Census for Fairfield, Jefferson, Iowa, 32-year-old David N [A] McCaslin and his 31-year-old wife Margaret (Gilchrist) McCaslin have in their household their 4-year-old son, Alonzo and her 28-year-old farmer brother, James W Gilcrest [Gilchrist]. In the 1870 US Federal Census for Buchanan, Jefferson, Iowa, 42-year-old David McCastlin [McCaslin] and his 41-year-old wife Margret [Margaret] (Gilchrist) McCaslin have two children, 14-year-old Elonso [Alonzo] and 1-year-old Sharlot [Charlotte]. In the 1880 US Federal Census for Buchanan, Iowa, 52-year-old farmer David A and his 51-year-old wife Margaret (Gilchrist) McCaslin have in their household their children, 24-year-old farmer Alonzo and 11-year-old Charlotte O. and their 19-year-old servant girl, Alice V Trout. In the 1885 Iowa State Census for Buchanan, Jefferson, Iowa, 57-year-old David A McCaslins farm is in Township 72, Range 9, Section 33 SE SW. He and his 56-year-old wife Margaret [Gilchrist] have in their household their children, 27-year-old farmer Alonzo and 15-year-old C.C [Charlotte]. Alonzo and Charlotte were born in Jefferson county, Iowa, and their parents in Indiana. In the 1900 US Federal Census for Fairfield, Buchanan, Iowa, Margaret E McCaslin is a 71-year-old head of household widow who owns her house free and clear of mortgage. She has borne two children and both are living with her, 44-year-old Alonzo and 31-year-old Charlotte. In the 1910 US Federal Census for Fairfield, Buchanan, Iowa, Margaret E McCaslin is a 71-year-old head of household widow who is living in a rented house at 105 East Biggs with her daughter, 38-year-old [she's fibbing, she's 42] daughter, Lottie E. [Charlotte]. Margaret has borne two children and both are living, but I haven't been able to find Alonzo on this census. Margaret E (Gilchrist) McCaslin, born 22 Jul 1828 in Indiana, died 2 Mar 1912 in Fairfield, Jefferson, Iowa and was buried in the Evergreen Cemetery, Fairfield, Jefferson, Iowa (Memorial ID 119381997). |
