VIRGINIA Thomas W 16 · John C 15 · Robert J 13 · Benjamin E 11 · Sarah E 7 · Margaret J 5 ⭐⭐ IT ANSWERS THE DEATH QUESTION: **MARY IS THE HEAD AND NO HUSBAND IS ENUMERATED**, independently confirming the tree's death year of 1860 for [888] James Edwards Cavins. ⭐ AND IT CONFIRMS HER: 42, b. c.1818, born VIRGINIA — matching [889] Mary Frances Mansfield b. 1818, Orange Co., Virginia, exactly, and resolving the 1850 enumeration of '22' as the error. ⚠️ [910] SARAH ELIZABETH IS ENUMERATED AGED 7 (b. c.1853), against the tree's 1858 — and she is listed OLDER than [909] Margaret Jane (5, b. c.1855), reversing the tree's order. No two-year-old exists in the household. NOT CHANGED; recorded. ⚠️ [911] Pleasant Madison b. 1850 is absent from both censuses. ⭐⭐ NEW AND UNWORKED: her Find A Grave suggested record reads **'Mary Frances CORNELIUS'** — she remarried after 1860. Not entered. ⚠️ POINTER, NOT OPENED: she appears in the 1850 and 1860 SLAVE SCHEDULES as 'M Cavens' and 'Mary Cavans'.
