Some of the females listed are close to age to what Margaret would have been, but none are named Margaret. The closest in age is a Mary Ann age 13, b Ohio in the household of Daniel Norman, 34 and Margaret Norman, 29. However, in the neighboring county to the south, Muskingum, there is a family of Thomas Norman with a Margaret of the right age.
