All these wives named Margaret are apparently correct. The first two are known from their tombstones in the De Witt cemetery which indicate they are this Jeremiah's wife. The third wife is the 40-year-old Margaret in the 1920 census.

In 1925, Jeremiah owned 200 acres in Welton Twp: 80 acres in Sec. 26, 80 in Sec. 23, and 40 in Sec. 27. His children are listed as Margaret, James, Rayfield, Irenus and Casmer. I have no other record of the child Margaret.
