Margaret "Peggy" Wood

  Research Notes:

Lorna Wallace family tree has only name Margaret Wood (no dob or place).

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

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) 3/28/07 kjf. She would have been 59 years old in 1856 or 1857 if born in 1797.

FamilySearch.org has several birth years, mostly speculation. One that appears definitive has b. 1818 Gananoque, Leeds, Ontario & d. 1881, but she would have been 63 when she died and the consensus is that she was born earlier (1794-1797).

Need to verify which were her parents and birth/death dates.
