I first took Catharine to be William's wife and Margaret their daughter, which is what is suggested by the second set of visitation numbers, but there is no marriage record for the younger William. It appears the younger Margaret's age is incorrect and that she and Catharine are Margaret's daughters. The enumerator has screwed up. Bear in mind that the enumerators took their notes in the field, then went back and filled in the census scedules, later (e.g., at the county court house), with all the errors inherent in that process.
