ID#1941, b. about 1889, d. 1920
Father: not yet identified

Birth date: about 1889
Birth place: Monongalia County, West Virginia.2

Margaret married Ralph Roscoe Stewart, son of Samuel McKinney Stewart and Martha Emmaline "Mattie" Jefferson, on 30 March 1916 in Ohio County, West Virginia. Rev. S. S. White certified that he united them in marriage at the bride's house near Wadestown. As Wadestown is in Monongalia County rather than Ohio County where the license was issued, my initial guess was that the minister may have been a relative as he has the same surname.2 I believe this theory is confirmed per a reading of the Mt. Tabor Cemetery gravestones including Margaret White Stewart and Rev. Stephen S. White as well as Ralph R. Stewart and his second wife, Darling White Stewart, and Ralph R. Stewart, Jr.3

Margaret died in 1920.4
