      BIO:Margaret was the third surviving Munroe daughter listed by her siblings on the Blackfoot Indian rolls. Her birth date is by estimate based on the age of her son, James Houseman, on his 1908 affidavit.

      BIO:Listed as "Maggie" by her siblings, Margaret Munro married Edmund Houseman (a white man, parents unknown) and had at least 3 surviving children: James, Margaret and Hugh Houseman. Maggie is dead before 1908.

      named Thomas James Jackson.

      elsewhere.
      **William Jackson and James Houseman were actually First Cousins as their mothers were sisters: Amelia and Margaret Munroe.
      ***Susan also states that son Thomas Jackson lives with Fox (Amelia Munroe
      Jackson Fox would be his grandmother.)
