Death of Eliza Martha Watterson, nee Martin, 1902, Irwin, Bonneville Co., Idaho

[Peggy13]

Hmm. I wonder if Mary Jane was the daughter of George Watterson and Rachel Clarke as I have a note on my tree that she went to New York Sept 16,1878 which would fit with a subsequent marriage date of 1882 to Robert Weir. I see that the 1900 census says imm. 1870 but that may be wrong or my note may be wrong. Or she had come home for a visit in 1878 and was returning.
Are there parents listed on Mary Jane's death record in 1914? I have her date of baptism as June 15, 1858.
Thanks so much.

Haven't found any parents yet - just those bare details. Strange entries though.

This might not have any bearing but the names Quigley - Waterson  stuck out, although the year of birth would be earlier than 1860 

1875 census Geneva

I think it should be Mary J Waterson (not Mary I Waterson) born 1854  working as a servant for the Quigley family.
Mary was not with them in 1880

That could well be her and I see that the J in Mary J is the same as the first letter of Joseph Davis just below. Her age could be wrong unless I have her baptism wrong or its a different Mary Jane. But odds are, it is the correct Mary Jane.

I have Mary Jane's baptism (parents George Watterson and Rachel  Clarke) as June 15, 1858 which means she was born before that date but usually the baptism would take place within a year of birth not 4 years. Also her possible parents marriage was July 6, 1855.

I see on that 1875 Geneva census that you sent there is a Margaret Quigley age 55. I am thinking she might be my Margaret Ann Watterson bapt June 5,1819 who may have married a Quigley and Benjamin is her son - it says Grandmother on census but must be mother as per the ages on census. So if Mary Jane is the daughter of George Watterson, who is Margaret Ann's brother, that would make Margaret Quigley age 55, Mary Jane's aunt. And Benjamin would be Mary Jane's cousin - all in the family. Why don't they just say cousin? But I have seen before when an adult son is in a household, he might be listed as servant, instead of son.

This is the possible death of Margaret Quigley who died 30 April 1913
That was the last Ciry Directory I found her listed.

I am thinking the Margaret Quigley who died 1913 would be Benjamin's wife, not his mother Margaret born 1819.
Thanks greatly for Benjamin's obit.
