Margaret married Sanford Layton Perry, son of Greenville Perry and Nancy Alsop, on 24 December 1867.^{1 2 3} (Sanford Layton Perry was born in May 1844 in Kentucky ^{3 5 10} and died on 25 July 1905.)

  Marriage Notes:

There is a lot of confusion surrounding Sanford Layton Perry. The name of his 2nd wife is not known with any certainty. Some researchers claim it was Jennie Arnspiger. She appears with the James S. Perry family in the 1880 census at the age of 26 and a birth year of about 1854.

In the 1900 US Census, Sanford is shown with his 2nd wife, Jennie P. born in March 1859. They were married about 1888. I can find no documentation about the marriage so the surname of Jennie remains unknown.

The burial location of Sanford seems equally confusing. There is a memorial page at Find-A-Grave (Memorial 85199655) for Sanford, his 1st wife Margaret Ann Arnspiger and 2 children, Leonaidas and John. Those graves are located at the Masonic Cemetery at Stamping Ground, Scott County, Kentucky. There is a photograph of a gravestone that shows their names as well as the birth and death dates for all four.

However, there is another Find-A-Grave Memorial (Memorial 118512232) for Sanford, his 1st wife Margaret, and the son John at the very small Alsop-Perry Family Cemetery in nearby Skinnersburg in Scott County, Kentucky. This memorial page shows a photo of the gravesite area surrounded by a fence and one tall, obelisk gravestone is visible. Unfortunately there are no close up photos of the gravestone to know what is written on it.
