In the very early days of gathering Ewing family history, Gilbert gave her the name Margaret SERGEANT, and A.E. is responsible for spreading that name widely in his early writings. But in later correspondence he retracted it and on all his copies of printed matter or carbons of those early letters he had penciled in, "not so". Gilbert was never quite sure where he'd gotten the name from, and when it later turned out that a John EWING in Pennsylvania had married a Hannah SERGEANT, Gilbert allowed as how maybe he'd confused the two. No marriage record for James has ever been found.
Her name maybe Sarah MAYES

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Margaret by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Margaret:
Sergeant-59 and Sargeant-33 appear to represent the same person because: Husbands appear to be the same so I am initiating a merge of the wives as well. The variation in spelling is probably what prevented the match from being spotted before.
