  • Notes 
    • Error alert: Given the dates recorded in various references, it is difficult to make an estimate of Margaret's birth year that makes any sense. Her parents were married in 1619 so presumablly Margaret was born after that. Her son, Hector was killed in battle in 1645. Presumably Hector had to have been at least in his late teens so he would have had to have been born around 1628 or so. There is no way Margaret could have been born after 1619 and had a son around 1628. If the dates in the references are correct, the only plausible explanation is that Margaret was born before her parents were married.
