Birth and Death Date according to Death Cert
Pennsylvania Death cert,1906-1963 Cert# 51059

additional information from Brian cartwright:

2) Although her birth is given as 1863 in her death cert & tombstone, she was said to be age 3 in the 1870 census & age 13 in 1880. Later census & her marriage license showed her older. I'm using 27 Feb 1867.

3) Margaret was 1st married to Andrew Leonard Bougher with children Nancy & Mahlon. They divorced and he took the kids to Altoona where he remarried (despite his obit claiming his 1st wife had died more than 40 years before.)

In 1893 she had Mary Martha with John Good (perhaps this is why Andrew left). She is named Good, with John listed as her father, on her marriage license to Oscar Lowman Davis (whose mother was also born out of wedlock by a Good father, and he himself out of wedlock by Bryan Loman)

The next three children, Noah 1896, Leta Mae 1898 & Trilby Ann 1900 were all named Keith in the 1900 census. However, Margaret and those three children were living with her mom Susan and step-dad Adam Keith while Urias was still living at home with his father. Margaret & Urias did not marry until 1902, and she is named Bougher on their license. I find it unlikely that Urias fathered any of these three children, and believe that Margaret was passing on her adopted surname of Keith to them, not Urias'.

After marrying Urias Keith in 1902, they had Jessie in 1903 and Raymond in 1909.
