Cause of death: Typhoid fever
Daughter of George and Mary Smeltzer. Margaret's parents went most frequently by the surname of Smelser. We see the name as Smelser in the 1790 and 1800 Old Pendleton District, South Carolina, Federal census. However, her father George (and the family), ran a ferry across the Mississippi River between Upper Alton, Illinois (St. Clair County at the time) and Portage des Sioux, St. Charles County, Missouri from about 1809 through about 1831. The ferry is often seen referred to as either Smeltzer's Ferry, Smelser's Ferry or even as Smelzer's Ferry. There is a "Smelzer's Lake" on the Missouri side about where we believe George's stone home stood.
Inscription on her monument has AGE 77
She was born in what was then Cherokee Indian Nation, Pendleton SC since Anderson County was created in 1790.
Margaret was the wife of Robert Hairston who died 1841 at his Marshall County MS homestead (willed to daughter Mary Meek). Presently, unable to locate his grave.
Mother of Mary Ann Hairston Meek b. 1805, Margaret Hairston b. 1807, Manley Madison Hairston b. 1809, James N. Hairston b. 1812 d. in Arkansas, and Martha Hairston b. 1814 d. 1835 of dropsy in the head.
