I'm interested in the McGaheys on account of their connections to the Brown family.According to my research, Milton's daughter Margaret married Stanhope H. Brown in 1853, then either died or divorced him because Stanhope married Jane Caldwell in 1856.
But the death certificates of several of Stanhope's (presumed) children list their mother's name as Maggie/Margaret Blakely: Ellen Brown Stephens (1860-1938), William Stanhope Brown (1870-1937) and Mamie Jane Brown Lowrance (1882-1935).
What's going on?Do I have the wrong Stanhope Brown?Who is Margaret Blakely?
