Unclear from these records what the relationships are. If Samuel is married to Margaret/Margery, then she can't be the mother of the children.

"SOLES FAMILY -- In the life of McKeesport, Pennsylvania, this family has played a prominent part through several different generations and individuals. The founder of the house in this city was Louis Soles, who came from Westmoreland County, this State. He was a carpenter and builder by trade. He was active in his day in the affairs of the First Methodist Episcopal Church and was one of the founders of that parish in McKeesport. He married Catherine Cavin, a woman of noted Revolutionary ancestry and of wonderful character. Their son was Wesley C. Soles who for years was prominently engaged in the business life of McKeesport and vicinity and who wa the founder of the W.C. Soles Company in its present form.Wesley C. Soles was born in McKeesport in March, 1848 and died there December 2, 1926. It was in this city that he was reared and educated. He learned the carpenter’s trade, and for a time worked with his father. Then, when a lad of nineteen years, he went west to Missouri, then on to Montana where he engaged for a short time in mining work, until he pushed westward to Salt Lake City, Utah. At a time when the west was sparsely settled and by no means entirely safe for the newcomer, he met it fearlessly and courageously, and was even tempted to go further toward the Pacific Coast. He finally put the decision up to a coin, which came up in favor of the East. Thereupon he returned to McKeesport, and here went to work to establish himself in business and found a home for himself. He spent the rest of his days in McKeesport, where he became a prominent factor in the business, social, and political worlds and showed himself to be a character ever strong, shrewd, and just. He became engaged in building work with his father, who later died, leaving the conduct of the business and the care of the family to him. From that time onward, Wesley C. Soles did a large business in building and in selling property, both for residential and for commercial purposes. He it was who laid out the sub-divisions fo the city, and he was also one of the founders of the National Bank of McKeesport and for many years its president. He was one of the owners and promoters of the traction lines of the city. Doing business in different lines, he found much time, in addition, to travel, and saw much in the United States and South America. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was for a time very active in political affairs, a close friend of the late Mathew S. Quay.
He married Emma L. Smith, daughter of Thomas and Cynthia (McGraw) Smith, and they had seven children: 1. T. Franklin, attorney-at-law, with offices at No. 1204 Park Building, Pittsburgh, and also in McKeesport at No. 507 Locust St. 2. Evelyn L., living at home with her family, 3. Scott A., State bank examiner. 4. Charles W., who died in May, 1919. 5. Robert S., real estate and insurance dealer, of McKeesport. 6. Louis C., real estate and insurance dealer of McKeesport. 7. Cynthia, who married T. Harry Smaith, Mt. Lebanon.
The business of W. C. Soles Company is now operated by Louis C. and Robert S. Soles. Louis C. Soles, born October 4, 1894, was educated in the public schools and at Mercersburg Academy, and upon completing his school work he spent one year in the bond business in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Then on August 24, 1917, he entered in the capacity of student officer the Second Officers’ Training Corps, in which he was given the ranking of first lieutenant, and was sent to Camp Pike, Arkansas, as instructor. There he remained until January 20, 1919, when he returned once more to civil life, becoming engaged in the real estate and insurance business with the W.C. Soles Company. The business is now conducted by him and his brother, and includes the brokerage, mortgage and insurance fields. Mr. Soles is a member of the Youghiogheny Country Club, the Aliquippa Lodge, No 136, Benevolent and Protective. "
