Margaret Jane Harper was most likely born in Moon Township, Allegheny Co., PA, as that is where the family was living when the 1850 Census was taken, when she was 3 years old. She was living with her parents, Robert and Mary (Gleasen/Gleasson) Harper at the time.
The family moved to Ohio sometime between 1853 and 1857, and she lived the remainder of her life in Ohio. Her mother died in 1861, having had 7 living children, of which Margaret Jane was the 3rd. Robert subsequently married Marinda Byron and they had 8 children.
Sometime prior to 1870, Margaret married John Wade White and they were living in Jackson, Jackson Co., OH. She had had two children, Mary, 2, and Annie, 1, both born in OH, as were all of their subsequent siblings. In 1880, three more children had been added to the family, Carrie A, Herbert E, and Presley. Another child, Lola was born by 1900. Margaret's occupation was keeping house.
By 1910, Margaret was 64. Three children were still living at home, Alice C (nee Carrie Alice), Laura A and Herbert E. William died in 1914. In the 1920 Census, Margaret was living with her daughter Allie (Carrie Alice). Neither woman had an occupation; we are presuming Allie was caring for her 77 year old mother. The 1920 Census was taken in January 1920 and Carrie died in March. In the 1930 Census, daughter Laura, a professional hospital nurse, was living with, and presumably caring for, her mother, who was 84.
Margaret Jane White, born 12 Feb 1846 (cf. 15 Feb 1846 in a family history), died in Jackson, Jackson Co., OH, on May 8 1938 at the age of 92. Her parents were listed as Robert Harper and Mary Gleasson.
