Walton-10884 and Forsythe-2064 appear to represent the same person because: Appear to be the same person based on son, Tom's information and consistent census records. Her maiden name appears to be Forsythe based on 1880 census, where Caroline Bishop and her children are living in the household of her father, Let Forsythe.
