Margaret Morris wife of Moses Thompson died April 11, 1866 Aged 87 Y 8M - A
daughter of a signer of the Declaration of Independence

It is unclear who the father of Margaret Morris is.  There were two signers of
the Declaration of Independence surnamed Morris: Robert Morris (1734-1806)
representing Pennsylvania at the Continental Congress & Lewis Morris (1726-1798)
representing New York at the Continental Congress.  Of the two, Lewis Morris is
the only one listed as married.  He and his wife Mary Walton had ten children,
but no child named Margaret is listed.

It is possible Morris is not Margaret's maiden name.  Perhaps she was previously
married.
