We have two Samuel J. Greathouses, both married to Martha's both showing Ruby and Maud as daughters. The other is the son of Josiah L., Greathouse. Census records confirm Samuel in each household of the ages we have. I think we have the same wife and children attached to two different people. WE can verify that this Samuel is married to a martha Smith from the death records with parents names.
