gravestone inscription? newspaper obituary for either? local history mentioning origins of local settlers?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Haven't been to the graves yet but hoping to go this summer.  Obits seems to give incorrect information- says Margaret was born in Edinbugh on 12-18-1824 but there is no record of it on Scotland's People-at least that I could find. Ancestry.com says she was born in Ireland. Seems the children may have improvised where she was born.  And there were no mention in either obit of parents. Such a puzzle.
