Hi,

Her maiden name was Margaret Gibbes, b. about 1660, probably in England.She probably married John Waterman in Barbados.

See http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/QUAKER-ROOTS/2008-03/1206480294http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/QUAKER-ROOTS/2008-03/1206480294

Her third husband was Everard Bolton (1655-1728).Margaret Bolton died on 10 Nov 1742 in Richland, Bucks Co., PA.

I suspect that she is the "sister Jones" in the following will abstract:

Warden, William. Phila. Merchant. Dec. 26, 1698. A. 433. Legacies to mother Mary Warden; to sisters Mary and Orian Warden; to brother Benjamin Hamden; to Charles Sober and his wife Ann and their children Thomas, John and Ann Sober; to Sarah Daniell; to Sarah Dwesbury and her sister Elizabeth Dwesbury; to William Tapshare; Richard Sandford; to Mrs. Rebecka Gibbs and her sister Jones; to Frances daughter of Robert Hall, Thomas Clayton.Sole Executor: Friend Charles Sober.
