Research Notes

Could not determine her parents.

In 1910, she was living in Wilson, Lane, Kansas, in her son, Walter's, household.

Margaret's parents were both born in Virginia. Living with her in the 1880 census was a 24-year-old Henry Jackson, born in Kentucky. Is this her brother?

From the "Kansas Semi-Weekly Capital," April 22, 1898, p. 5,

Pensions for Kansans.

...

Original widow, etc. --- ...; Margaret J. Tillotson, Moline, $8; ...

[The "Civil War Pension Index: General Index to Pension Files, 1861-1934" shows that Margaret J. Tillotson filed for a widow's Civil War Pension on Dec. 26, 1896 for her husband Francis Tillotson, who served in "A 99 Ind. Inf" Given that her husband, John Wheeler Tillotson, died May 2, 1897, this is clearly a different Margaret Tillotson.]
