bullet  General Notes:


Possible remarriage of Margaret. Unfortunately the marriage register gives no other information other than the name of the bride and groom. The time of this possible remarriage would seem appropriate given that Samuel was remarried sometime around 1840 and the location of Wayne County, Ohio also seems appropriate.
