The following is from Byberry Waltons (Norman Walton Swayne, 1958), pg 16:

13 MARGARET WALTON (3), daughter of 2 Nathaniel Walton & Martha Bownall of Byberry Twp, Phila. Co., Pa., was alive and wife of John Powell when her mother's will was drawn Feb. 10, 1736/7.

Notes: This would probably be Margaret Walton and this John Powell died 1748, this evidence supports he is the Son of William first purchaser and this John in my opinion did not die young but after his marriage to Ann Harvard he may of left the area and started a new family (He may of been highly in dept) given his age compared to that of the would be second wife Margaret, his son Philip was not born till 1743, he died in 1748, it appears Margaret was much younger than he to have a child so late in his life.
