Margaret Hunter (27 Oct 1802 - 17 Mar 1876)
I am looking for the parents of Margaret Hunter, born 27 Oct 1802 in Buncombe Co, NC.
She married Andrew Jackson Townsend in 1818 in White Co., TN.Andrew died abt 1850.I have Margaret located in the 1850, 1860 & 1870 Dade Co., GA census (in 1870, she is living with one of her daughters). She then moved to Tuscaloosa Co., AL to live with her son, Adam John.She is buried next to him in a rural cemetery in Fosters, AL (in Tuscaloosa Co.).I have a picture of her headstone.
I also found the following (which proved her maiden name):
