daughters should've been Mary-19, Nancy-16, Sarah-14, Elizabeth-12. It's possible the three 10-16 are Nancy, Sarah and Elizabeth, with Mary out of the household already, and some girl who did not survive in the under 10 category, or it's just census error)

Michael Hefley had among his children Henry William Hefley and Elizabeth. Elizabeth married John D. Rosamon. To simplify a portion of what happens next, I have put matching colors on the people who marry each other.

        Elizabeth Hefley Rosamon ---siblings--- Henry Wm Hefley                               Henry Warmath

               her children incl                            one son was                                     whose children included 

 Sally (Avery), John Wesley, & Mary J          William Rufus Hefley      John Wesley Warmath, Mary Eliz Warmath, & Chesterfield Warmath

Sally's dau=Laura Avery                                                                   JW's son=Albert Sidney "Sid" Warmath   Ches' dau=Harriet Della Warmath

In other words, Michael Hefley's grandchildren married a son, a daughter and a granddaughter of Henry Warmath, and then one of Michael Hefley's great granddaughters married a grandson of Henry Warmath. Things aren't simplified if you try to remember that Mary Warmath married John Wesley Rosamon, but Mary Rosamon did not marry John Wesley Warmath, but instead married his brother Chesterfield. The criss crossing backfires for Harriet Della Warmath (daughter of Chesterfield Warmath and Mary J. Rosamon) because her husband's grandfather is her great-grandfather (Michael Hefley in both cases). Laura Avery and her husband Sid Warmath on the other hand, despite sharing the same aunt Mary & uncle Ches Warmath, and aunt Mary & uncle John Rosamon, they shared no blood themselves; it just happened that his father's brother and sister married her mother's brother and sister.
