Margaret Ann Bennett's parents were John Bennett (1793-1850), and Berthenia/Bethenia Brann (ca 1795 - died between 1850-1860).
Husband #1: James McPherson. One researcher's notes include the information that he left for the California gold rush and died crossing the Isthmus of Panama, 1849. Unknown the source of that information. James and Margaret had one son: John Emmons (or Eammons) McPherson (spelled Pherson in the 1910 US Census), born 5 April 1850, Troy, Waldo County, Maine (one source had 1849 for his year of birth).
There is a marriage record of Intent [to marry] for Allison and Margaret dated 10 Sep 1852, Clinton, Kennebec County, Maine.
Following the migration of some of their sons, Allison and Margaret moved to Minnesota in 1887. Allison died two years later in 1889.
Margaret A. Carver was issued a land grant in her own name on 9 November 1891, for parts of sections four and section five, Rosebud Township, Polk County, Minnesota, "containing one hundred and fifty nine acres and nineteen hundredths of an acre."

An Early Morning Fire Wipes Out Nate Carver's House, Consuming Entire Contents.
Insurance Had Expired.
Mother and Neice [sic] Escape with Barely the Clothing They Were Wearing.
About six o'clock Monday morning, shortly after Mrs. M. A. Carver and her granddaughter, Miss Angie Fyffe, had arisen from their slumbers, the dwelling south of the tracks belonging to her son, N. E., and in which Mrs. Carver had made her home for some years, was discovered by them to be afire.
Efforts were made to extinguish the blaze but the flames had gained too much headway. Then a few things were carried out and the building, necessarily, was left to its fate. It being early in the morning, few people in town knew of the fire until it had practically burned out, and no alarm had been turned in for the village department, the distant from any hydrants preventing the apparatus from being of any use. Little could be done to assist the unfortunate women suddenly driven from the place, for the time being their home. A rig was procured, however, and Mrs. Carver and Miss Fyffe were taken to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Fred A. Carver, in the eastern part of town, who had not been made aware of the unfortunate occurance until the arrival of these ladies at their door.
Mrs. Carver, whom it was at first feared the shock would deal harshly with on account of her age, fortunately recovered rapidly and appears to be none the worse after her rough experience.
The building, an old one, had not been insured for several years. The loss upon clothing and furniture is difficult to estimate, but the entire loss probably totals $1100. As far as could be learned, the fire originated in a shed or lean to at the rear of the house, a stray spark from the chimney evidently having been blown into the shed and kindled the blaze. The structure being frame, after the fire had secured a fair start it was the matter of but a short time before all was leveled to the ground.
