NOTE - The birth locations of Margaret and two sons, Robert and Elias, each show Pennsylvania which appears to be strange and possibly an enumerator error. Margaret was believed to have been born in Maryland and both Robert and Elias were both probably born in Virginia but I have no other documents to prove that.
