(22) From Rootsweb.com. Worldconnect Project. Lists sources. 2010504.ged from Cheryl Harmon Bills <cherylb@ida.net> updated 3 Apr 2002. [Cheryl’s file says Margaret born 1775, not 1785]. The Descendants of John and Rachel Cooke Murphy says that this Margaret married Elijah Davidson 11 Dec 1884. This has to be an error; wonder if 1884 is a death date.

Info sent to me by Margarette Davis < MaggeD@aol.com> 11/2001. She sent copies of her correspondence with a William A. Norris who sent her a compilation by his "Aunt Helen" (Is this Helen Wallace?) and the source of information is some in-depth research by a Mrs. Crouch. No other identifying information. Says Elijah and Margaret were married 11 Dec 1802.
