Margaret Wood ^{1 2 3 4}

   Another name for Margaret was Peggy Wood.

  General Notes:

Note: The family tree created by Lorna Wallace Johnson around 1950 has only the name "Margaret Wood" and ", Canada." Lorna did not know Margaret's parents' names.

  Research Notes:

Margaret's parents were definitely:
Lt. Col.Roger Wood (Ul.E.L.) (1767-1862) + Margaret Drew (1767-1864)
NOT
John Wood (U.E.L.) (abt 1764-1852) + Abigail Drew (1766-?)

Note: John & Abigail's daughter Margaret married Alexander Ross.

  Birth Notes:

May have been born about 1794 or earlier. Rosemary Benson has b. 1797. Her gravestone reads "AE 59 yrs."

Poss. b. Cornwall, Ontario or Gananoque (Leeds and Grenville Co.), Ontario.

  Death Notes:

My interpretation of the date on her gravestone is d. 18 Apr 1858. kjf 10/26/11

Site http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~poaps/Notices.htm has
"Margaret, wife of John F. Poapst d. 18 Apr 1853, age 59 years
Buried at Poapst Homestead. (Taken from a gravestone)" The year 1853 is probably incorrect.
