" ...

The couple had three children, James D., Lilly B. and Katie M., born in 1874, 1879 and 1883, respectively. In the 1880 Federal Census, they were living in Batelle District (37th), Monongalia County, where Mr. Hillery's occupation is listed as "Farming". With a gap of twenty years, because of the destroyed census of 1890, Margaret Hillery appears in the 1900 Federal census as a widow, living in Bloomville, Seneca County, Ohio, with her daughter, Katie M., aged 16 (born in West Va.) It is interesting to note that Margaret McKee Hillery's uncle, John Montgomery McKee (James' older brother), had also lived at this time in Bloomville, having moved there from Beaver County, Pennsylvania in the 1870s. ..."
