I just want to say, judging by the Ancestry DNA matches in my tree, I am strongly believe that this guy: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/135559461/hans-melchior-werfel was her father. The reason I believe that is that dozens of her descendants are DNA connected to the descendants of Hans Werfel. The connection is HUGE and I invite any other descendants of her to try and find other Werfels in your DNA match list. There should be tons! Hans Werfel had a daughter named Susannah Werfel who was born in Lancaster in 1739, just like Margaret Eshenauer.
