Margaret Link, wife of Peter Vandeventer
Am trying to identify the Margaret Link who married Peter Vandeventer b 23 Feb 1745/46 in Readington, NJ.
According to records of Neil O'Hara, Peter Vandeventer's will was probated on 4 May 1820 in Harrison Co, IN (Will Bk I, p
98), leaving property in Pendleton Co, VA (WV) to Catherine Link Copp, Sarah Link Blume, Susanna Link McCoy, and heirs
of Polly Link Morgan/Moran.

Was Peter's wife the daughter of John Link b. 1724 and Margaret Zumwalt Link b. 1733? In Sept 1781, John Link was killed
by Indians at Link's Blockhouse near Wheeling. He had land there, and the family was apparently quite prosperous.

Is there any evidence that Peter Vandeventer himself had bought land in Pendleton Co, VA/WV? If not, it looks as if the
women who inherited that land were children of John and Margaret Zumwalt Link, and that they had a sister named
Margaret who preceded them in death.
