Found Margaret's obit -- actually her obit posted in 4 NYC newspapers!!!Yes -- David was her husband :o)But a difference between your family stories is that Robert White of 149 East 61st Street, Manhattan was her son-in-law.It is possible that Margaret did have a sister named Lidia (Lydia) and she also named a daughter after her.It is also possible the funeral home submitting the death notice made a mistake.She died on 30 Jan 1879.I was unable to find an obit for David -- but he must have died between 1842 and 1860 when Margaret is listed as living with the Whites as a widow.
