Jean,
Robert Finley of Donegal Twp., Wash. Co. Pa. left a will dated 22 Oct 1806 and probated 17 Dec. 1806 which names wife Sarah, various children among whom is Margaret Goudy.
Robert Gowdy married Margaret Finley and had a son John who married Ruth Miller in Wash. Co., Pa. Ruth died 20 April 1832 upon the birth of her son Adam. John married second to Mary Wood of Greene Co., PA in 1833. Went to Monroe Co., Ohio by 1840.
Margaret Finley was in Monroe Co., Ohio for the 1840 census; she returns born 1770-1780. John (age 40-50) and Isaac (age 20-30) were living next door. Margaret apparently a widow. Robert and Margaret sold their land in Donegal Twp., Wash. Co. Pa. by deed dated 25 Jan. 1823, recorded 4 Sept. 1830. Betty Cronin says he bought land in Monroe Co., Ohio in 1826.
I have only read the census in Monroe Co., Ohio and have not gotten into deeds.
Betty belives Robert Goudy, who married Margaret Findley, was born ca 1767 and died Monroe Co. ca 1837. Since son John, she says, was born 2 Sept. 1799 she believes the marriage of Robert and Margaret was 1798/9. On the 1850 census Margaret returns age 70. It's possible Margaret was his second wife, but no one has suggested that to me.
