• Notes

  It appears that after Robert died, Margaret married a second time to William Hunter. In March 1803, Margaret makes her return of Robert's estate and is listed as Margaret Hunter. At that same court, William Hunter is appointed the guardian of Margaret's two youngest children. There is a Robert Kirkham of Greene County, later of Twiggs County interacting with Ware, Jemison folks. Could be Margaret's brother
