James MARGISON was living in Porter county in 1870 with his grandson George
REED.
James was b. ca 1783 prob. Dutchess now Putnam co., NY. I do not know who is
wife was and am only assuming that he is the father of my Margaret MARIGSON
who married George REED 3 July 1841 in LaPorte co., IN, but they lived in
Porter co. until their deaths.
