Margaret McMath, Galloway & Seneca Co., NY
Margaret McMath lived with John Johnston and his wife Margaret Alexander in Fayette, Seneca Co., NY. The Johnstons came to the U.S. in the early 1820s. Margaret's relationship to the Johnstons is unknown, but she is buried in the family plot. Her stone reads that she is from Galloway, Scotland, as are the Johnstons. According to the census, Margaret was born in ca 1800, John Johnston and Margaret Alexander in 1791. Margaret McMath is in the 1850 census, but not the 1860; her gravestone is broken off where the date would be. Any idea who she is, or her relationship to John and Margaret? Thanks!
