Deloris,
Thanks so much for this additional information.The only child that I don't find in the census is Sarah Magdalene, b. 1886.She isn't with the family in 1900, but maybe she was living with a relative or a neighbor.She does explain the fact that Martha is listed as having 10 children, all living in 1900.I hadfound a Rebecca Morefield, age 21, living in the Donnelly household 5 households away from Benjamin & Martha, and thought maybe she was the 10th child.Since Emmaline was Emmaline Rebecca, either the Rebecca with the Donnellys was a different person or else she was listed twice.My grgrgrandfather Morefield was listed twice in 1850--once with his family and once on the farm where he was a worker.
