Biography

Margaret Wymore was likely born about 1766[1] in the Colony of Virginia.

Margaret likely married James Masterson in Jun 1781 in Lexington, which at the time was part of the state of Virginia.[1]

She and husband James were living near Lexington in Fayette County, Kentucky when James made his will in 1838.[2] Upon his death shortly thereafter, Margaret and 5 of their children each inherited from James 1/6 of his land, with Margaret receiving the lot with the house in which they had lived.[3]

Margaret Masterson died on 27 Feb 1844 in or near Lexington in Fayette County, Kentucky.[4]
