Notes:

The L.D.S Ancestral File lists a 2nd husband, William Slavey, b. abt 1845, for Margaret. Margaret was born about 1810 - 1812 which seems highly unlikely for a marriage to someone about 33 years her junior. However, the following was found in the census records of Wayne Co., Kentucky and Collin Co., Texas.

(William Slavey married Rebecca E. Foster in 1868. Rebecca has to be the Elizabeth Foster listed in the household of Marcus Foster in 1850. In 1860 she was listed in another household as a domester servant. Rebecca Elizabeth must have died before 1870. Although, Telitha was married at this time to Jeremiah Heath, he is not listed. The above children; Octavia, John and Susan are the children of Telitha and Jeremiah)
