Individual Details

Margaret was born 1811 - according to her grave marker and census records - even in 1830, she appears to have been counted in Tyree's household, but Tyree didn't marry Eunice until 1818 - so who really was Margaret? A child of Tyree's or Eunice's from an earlier marriage? A foster child?

I found Margaret listed as a child on FindAGrave.com. She married John B. Truitt and is buried Shirley Cemetery, Elmer, Macon Co, MO.

Casius 21, Unice C. 19, still at home.
FindAGrave states John B. Truitt was born 27 Feb 1806 in Fayette, KY and died 22 Dec 1871 in Ralls Co.

In 1880, Margaret Truitt was in Round Grove, Macon Co, living with daughter Eunice, age 28 and her husband, Josephus Cox, age 48. Margaret still gave her birthplace as Tennessee, although her parents were said born in Kentucky.

A daughter is listed on FindAGrave that does not appear in the census records - a Permelia Janis, born 1833 [she would have been about 17 in 1850 and son Tyra was that age]. Permelia married Frances Milton Carter, 6 Jul 1850 - so likely wasn't still at home with her parents when the enumerator came.
