Margaret was the daughter of John Cathey (b.1667 in Ireland, d.1742 in Lancaster Co., PA) and Ann.
Margaret married the farmer William Allen Trindle in 1728 in Philadelphia, PA. Between 1729 and 1748 they had 9 children. In the order of their births they named these children: James, John D., William Jr., Alexander, Jane, Janet, Agnes, Margaret and Ann Elizabeth Trindle.
William and Margaret settled at the head of the present Trindle Spring Creek in the fall of 1728. Weeks of warm days and cold nights, with and occasional rain, brought them endless days of work and preparation for the winter. William spent most of his time felling trees of log size, so they could dry out over winter, for the cabin he would build in the spring.
With the advent of colder weather when the fur pelts began getting heavier and worth more money he laid traps for fox and raccoons. One day while making a fox set he happened to look up and see a deer in some nearby brush looking straight at him; he slowly picked his musket up and fired into the shoulder for an immediate kill. Upon dragging it out of the brush he saw a spike buck that would probably weigh 125 lbs. which was very welcome to the declining larder.
The Trindles had a cold but profitable winter. The trapping was a huge success. Early settlers did not rush to develop the land beyond maintenance because trapping was so much more profitable. In early March, William Lowry, the trader and settler who had helped the Trindles get their land from the Indians, stopped on his way to LeTort, in the present Carlisle region, to see how the Trindles got through the winter. At that time, Margaret asked Lowry to be sure and get her seeds and potatoes on his next trip to Lancaster. She was anxious to start the garden which had been left by the Indians.
