Margaret was the daughter of immigrant Neill Stafford from Kintyre, Argyll & Bute, Scotland who married Rosanna McNeill, a descendant of the Argyll Colony of Cape Fear. Her father bought land on the Persimmon Branch of the Little Pee Dee River in what was then Marion District of South Carolina.

On 24 August 1863 Margaret had the sad task of filing for the pay due to her deceased son Sgt. Neill Smith who was wounded in the head and body in the Battle at Gaines Mill & died 05 July 1862 at Chimborazo Hospital in Richmond, Virginia. The documents state she lived at McInnis Bridge, South Carolina.

Margaret & John had these known children, and may have had others unknown: Ann Smith, wife of 1. John J. McKellar & 2. James A. McDaniel ; Peter Smith; John Smith; Neil Smith; Rosa Smith, wife of Edward McLendon & Elizabeth Smith (unmarried).

Rest in peace.
