Biography
Margaret CUNNINGHAM was born about 1675 in Midlothian, Scotland to Andrew CUNNINGHAME and Jonet (Janet) PENDER. Margaret was baptized on 8 August 1675 in Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. [1]
John Huston, and his wife, Margaret CUNNINGHAM Huston, were on a ship for America with John's mother, Mrs. Samuel HUSTON, when passengers became suspicious of the captain and crew's motives; believing their lives were in jeopardy, and their money to be robbed, passengers put the entire crew in irons, and sailed to Philadelphia safely.[2]
