Biography
Research Notes
The transcribed birth dates for the 1850 Census for both Margaret and William are in error. The transcription error resulted in both of them being given a birth date that is 20 years older than they really are. A review of the image for the census clearly shows they were both in their 40s rather than their 60s. -- Fiscus-32 13:18, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Unknown-417337 and Lynch-2278 appear to represent the same person because: The birth date on Unknown-417337 has been corrected after a review of the image of the 1850 Census. Looks like we're ready to merge now.
Unknown-417337 and Lynch-2278 do not represent the same person because: Page 107 of the 1860 census for Allegheny Twp, Armstrong Co, Penn, Leachburgh Post Office taken by James Taylor lists:
William Steveson 54 M
Margaret 54 F
Anne M 19 F
George 17 M
William 13 M
Catherine 12 F
Hugh 9 M
p.s. I don't see a reference to the 1860 Census listing you're referring to on this profile. If you have the link, I'd appreciate it ... getting late in my neck of the woods. :-)
Unknown-417337 and Lynch-2278 appear to represent the same person because: There is a new grave marker on their graves which shows dates that conflict with the census listings -- of course, the census listings could also be wrong and can vary from census to census.
It's pretty clear that these are the same people with the same children.
Please approve the merge so we can consolidate research. Thanks!
Unknown-417337 and Lynch-2278 do not represent the same person because: The 1860 census lists Margaret as 56 years of age yielding an 1804 birth and her husband, William is given the same birth year.
Unknown-417337 and Lynch-2278 appear to represent the same person because: These two profiles represent the same person. I believe the dates on Find-a-Grave may be in error. Please refer to the 1850 Census listing on Unknown-417337. You can see that several of the children match with those listed for Lynch-2278.
Unknown-417337 and Lynch-2278 are not ready to be merged because: Too vague and dates out by 20 years unable to confirm or reject so put this as postponed.
Unknown-417337 and Lynch-2278 appear to represent the same person because: Found this family in the 1850 Census. Please see link on Unknown-417337. Her birth date is given as 1784 in Pennsylvania.
