Margaret was born about 1737. She passed away about 1779.
Sources
As the dates of Mary Cathon don't make sense for Elizabeth Gwaltney (1756-1803), it is more likley that her mother is Margaret Woodward (1737-1779). Also Benjamin Lane names his first daughter: Sally Woodward Lane. This is a family name!

Peter Woodward/Woodard first appeared in the Newport Parish Vestry records in 1723 when the the line between his property and Thomas Walton's property was processioned. He appeared in the vestry records several times in regard to work he had done on the church. The Isle of Wight deeds refer to him as a carpenter. The births of three of his children by his wife Margaret were also recorded in the vestry records: Peter Woodward, Jr. on Mar. 27, 1736; Margaret Woodward on Jan. 15, 1737/38; and Rebecca Wiles (possibly Wills) Woodward on Dec. 29, 1739/40. There may have been other children who were not recorded in the vestry records. William Woodward appears to be a likely candidate as one such child. Peter Woodward frequently helped to appraise various estates in Isle of Wight: John Bidgood's estate recorded Oct., 1726, George Murry's estate recorded Jan., 1734, James JORDAN's estate recorded July, 1741, Samuel Davis' estate recorded Sept., 1749, Arthur Crocker's estate recorded Feb., 1750, Katherine Crocker's estate recorded Mar., 1750, John Holleman's estate recorded Aug., 1751, Reuben Cook's estate recorded Nov., 1751, Benjamin Ward's estate recorded Mar., 1752, Susanna Holleman's estate recorded Nov., 1755, Benjamin Gwaltney's estate recorded June, 1762, and Joel Cook's estate recorded July, 1762. Peter Woodward, Jr. appraised Abraham Jones' estate, recorded Sept., 1758. In 1762, Peter Woodward witnessed the will of John Cook. In 1785, William Woodward, Peter Woodward, and John George Woodward witnessed the will of Daniel Herring, Sr. Some of the records may have been the son rather than the father, but only one was recorded as "Jr." William Woodward of the 1785 record was the father of John George Woodward of the same record. Peter Woodward, the third witness, was probably either the father of William Woodward or his brother, depending on whether this was Jr. or Sr.
