Her father died in Nov 1861.

Notes and Clues

Highland County was created from Pendleton and Bath Counties in 1847. So the place of birth in both censuses could be accurate. So perhaps Margaret Hull was born in the part of Bath County, Virginia that became Highland County.

A Virginia death certificate viewable on ancestry stated that Margaret Elizabeth Wallace was born 19 Apr 1936, died 30 Apr 1915 in Williamsville, Bath County, Virginia, and was the daughter of John E Hull and Margaret Warwick.
