Margaret Pritt
  Everyone on Ancestry has merged older sister Caroline into her younger sister Margaret.  In many cases, they have Margaret's name as Margaret Caroline Pritt, which is wrong. So many lemmings on this website.

LOOK closely at the 1850 and 1860 Census.  In 1850, Caroline and Margaret are two separate people.  In June 1860, Caroline is still living at home at age 22.  Sister Margaret, is married in April which is why she is not with her parents in the 1860 Census. Margaret is living with her husband David Kelley in 1860.
