note
The woman of 26 to 44 in Meredith Collins's household; she died before 1840, probably about 1812.

Meredith Collins's second wife, married about 1799. Mother of Archibald (c. 1800), James, Jesse (c. 1804), William (1806) and Hiram (c. 1804-06).

"Margaret" is only a query. The FamilySearch profile "Margaret Holloway 1765-1812" came in with a graft onto a Hampshire, England, family that the research rejects, so its dates are not used. The DAR's Bradley-line papers make her Bradley's mother, which can't be right: she was about seven when he was born in 1787.

Open questions

  • Her parents and her ancestry; no record speaks to them.
  • Is "Margaret" her name?
