That is very clever. I thought Edward White was the same person as son Edmund White and likely he is, but Mary is his wife, not Catherine's daughter Mary. Maybe the online tree is confused there as well, thinking Mary was a daughter instead of daughter in law. There is no daughter Mary on the 1900 census. There is something written above Mary's relationship and it may say in-law. Maybe. But I think you are right.

Fabulous. You are sorting this all out. I found that daughter Kate born Dec 1874 died 1904 in Minooka, Lackawanna, PA, husband William Cotter.
I see you have found Edward and Mary's son Edward with Anna in 1930, although Anna's age is wrong. Way to go.
