Individual Details
Mary Margaret Eskew
(Abt 1683 - 1751)
Margaret Connor was a widow living in Caroline in 1732. Records at that time might indicate that she was trying to settle an estate...She lived in the part of Caroline that was near the Spostylvania Co Va border, called Guinea Station named for the land of Michael Guiney, neighbor & perhaps relative of the Connors.
When Caroline Co became a county, we find Margaret suing or being sued--an indication that she was settling an estate.

Witt: Alex. McQueen, Anthony Foster, William Kelly
