There seems to be a descrepancy regarding Margaret's birthdate:
I found Margaret Sheetz (Lear) Allen
in Nockamixon/Bridgeton PA, Bucks Co. Censuses
1850: Margaret 8y 1842
(in hh w/John & Catharine Shertz)
1860: Margaret 16y 1844
(in hh w/John & Catherine Sheets)
1870: Margaret 24y 1846
(in hh w/Samuel Allen, next door to
parents John and Catharine Sheets)
1880: Margaret 32y 1848
(in hh w/Samuel Allen)
1900: Margaret 53y 1847
(in hh w/Samuel Allen)
1910: Margaret 62y 1848
(living alone)
Her exact birthyear is unknown. Another find-a-grave contributor stated that he could find no record for her birthyear in Bucks Co. records. Despite the contradictions of the census reports (which is a common thing), I shall keep her year of birth as 1849 as it is inscribed on her tombstone and her obituary also give her age as 80, which subtracts to 1850, and depending on her birthday, makes 1849 her likely year of birth
