Go to the Eddy Co, NM GenWeb site.JD & Margaret are buried in the Carlsbad Municipal Cem, dates unknown.But, that site also has an index of probates.John's is 1928 and Margaret's is 1940.You can obtain a copy of their death certificates, which should show the names and birth locations of their respective set of parents.Then you can look for each of those families on census records.
Most females lived at home until they married, so I'm betting Margaret's parents will be in Hunt Co, TX when she married, unfortunately most of the 1890 census was destroyed.
Also, you can check the new 56 CD set of the 1880 census, it includes an EVERYNAME index, which means you can look for wife, children, or anyone living in the household.You should be able to find Margaret when she was about 8 years old.If you do not have access to that CD set, some people on this forum have their own set and will do lookups.Post your query, with something in the subject box that will catch their eye, such as "Need 1880 census lookup."
