Biography
Margaret (Gaines) French was a Virginia colonist.
Research Notes
She is not the same Margaret that married John Prosser (1640-1677).
Margaret Gaines, b. ca.1663 was assumed by some to have married Ralph Rowzee because the latter is mentioned in Margaret's father's will as a "son-in-law,"[1] but as Margaret Amundson shows, the Ralph Rowzee mentioned in Daniel Gaines will is his step-son — the son of Daniel's wife's first husband, Ralph Rowzee, Sr.[2]
Per Margaret Amundson's research, Margaret Gaines did not marry Ralph Rowzee.[3]

Though, obviously, more research needed.
...If these are not the same, and there are records for A "Margaret" : MARGARET (?) PROSSER, MILLER, FRENCH AND LATER SOMMERVILLE. (see next to last page)

Could we create a Margaret Unknown to attach to Hugh French, and move their children to her? That would match up with the records available, and free up Ms. Gaines.
