Individual Details
Margaret McDowell
(1817 - 20 Nov 1890)
Margaret Miles was likely a widow. Her son appears to be with them in the 1860 census.
The marriage record is Miles - the children are listed as Mills in both 1850 and 1860. There is a marriage record in Vermillion Co, 8 Dec 1836 for William Miles to Margaret McDowell - this fits very well with the daughter Mary born in 1838.
