Margaret's middle initial is definitely "N," not A, but "Nancy" is a nickname for Ann.  Thomas's age is wrong.

12.  Email from Mathew Page:

...family history passed down states that Edward's middle name was Franklin...  I did find Edward listed in the 1826 Tax Records for Coshocton Co, OH...  He was identified as FRANKLIN... ...Mary died in Greene County, IN, in 1890.  There is a record of death on file for her.  In that record it lists her father as Jesse Downs, mother - unknown...  Most records state that her parents were Jesse Downs and Naomi Taunt...  I recently found a pension abstract for Jesse Downs, wd. Namoi Taunt [Abstracts of Rev. War Pensions, vol. I, p. 1017, by Virgil D. White].  In that pension record, the surviving children living were listed.  MARY DOWNS-PAGE was not listed.  One working hypothesis is that Jesse Downs was a son of William Downs of Port Tobacco, Charles Co., MD...

13.  LDS.  Family Search: Internet Genealogy Service: Ancestral File.  Has the children born in East Union, Coshocton Co., OH, but the census does not support this contention.

a.  Knox Co. was formed from Fairfield Co. in 1808 and Coshocton Co. was formed from Muskingum Co. in 1810/11, so the county names were stable before the arrival of our subjects.

b.  Jackson Twp., Knox Co., OH, is adjacent to Perry Twp., Coshocton Co., OH (i.e., just across the county line from each other), so Edward's apparent presence in both counties is not unreasonable.  That he was buying and selling "town lots" also makes his speculation in real estate all the more plain.  It was not at all unusual for pioneers (with money) to speculate in land.
