Internet lore gives John and Margaret rather more children
than are listed here. It's likely the lore is true. In the
1900 census Margaret says she gave birth to 14 children, of
whom nine are still living. In particular, Alfred Broyles is
not listed in the census as being part of the this family but
the lore says he is. Note that there are two Alfreds of about
the same age in Delaware Co. The other is the son of Joseph.
