Notes
a. Note:   From the 1850 and 1860 census records, it is clear that Margaret or Margarette McManus was a daughter of Patrick and Bridget (Murphy) McManus, and younger sister to Owen and Michael. By cross referencing all the names listed on the baptismal records from St. Patrick's, it seems almost certain that she married Patrick Gavin in about 1860, and that they had at least 3 children. The first wife of Margaret's brother Michael was Helen Gavin, presumably a sister to Patrick. It appears that Margaret and Patrick left Monroe County in the late 1860's, possibly moving to Ottawa County on the west side of Michigan. ======================= From the 1850 Federal Census of Exeter Township, Monroe County, Michigan, page 831, taken August 24, 1850, household #59; from ancestry.com, image #334 of 367: Margarette McMannus; age- 12, female, born- Michigan, in school ======================= From the 1860 Federal Census of Exeter Township, Monroe County, Michigan: Page 414; Dwelling 858; Family 857: "McMannus, Margaret"; Age: 20; female; Birthplace: Michigan (Margaret is listed in the household of her widower father Patrick.) ======================= From "Miscellaneous Records of Monroe County, Michigan" by Virginia Mehregan, 1988; published by the Gen. Soc. of Monroe Co., Mich.: From Baptisms of St. Patrick's Church, 1859-1869 ****** Margaret Gavin, b. 8 Aug 1861, par. Patrick Gavin and Margaret McManus, no sponsors listed. ****** Brigette Gavin, b. 8 Aug 1861, bap. 1 Sep 1861, par. Patrick Gavin and Margaret McManus, spon. Michael McManus and Helen Gavin (Michael is Margaret's brother and presumably Helen is her husband Patrick Gavin's sister. Apparently Margaret married not too long after the 1860 census.) ****** Patrick McManus, b. 13 Apr 1863, bap. 14 April 1863, par. Michael McManus and Helen Gavin, spon. Patrick Gavin, Margaret McManus ****** Jacob Gavin, b. 5 Sep 1863, bap. 20 Sep 1863, par Patrick Gavin and Margaret McManus, Spon. Michael Gavin, Mary McCloskey ======================= There is no record of Patrick or Margaret Gavin in Michigan on the 1870 Federal Census, and no record of them in Exeter Township on the 1880 census. It appears that they seem to have left Monroe County, and probably Michigan.
