Update: "Family recently revealed Margaret was a mulatto red headed woman."
Margaret was born around 1830 in South Carolina or Virginia; to a slave woman owned by the Dye slaveholders. A grandson listed her birthplace as Virginia on his mother's death certificate. Margaret is listed as white in one census, then mulatto in another.
Her husband and almost all of their children are buried at Rehoboth. So she may be buried there as well. She married Loyd Hemphill legally after slavery ended.
