Peter F. Mahone his G. W. X Kellum mark James O. P. Collier Recorded December 11th 1876 G. W. (Morbes?) Ordinary Note: Margaret was born in 1802 in Chester Co., SC. She was the daughter of John and Jennet Johnston. John and Jannet were both born during the 1780s in Glasgow, Scotland. Margaret married Joseph Ingram who was also from Chester Co., SC. I don't know whether they married in SC or in GA. Margaret's mother (a widow) and Joseph's father probably came to GA at the same time; they lived near each other in SC and apparently lived near each other in Talbot County. ======================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be freely used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
