Margaret A. Larimer1

b. circa 1848, d. May 1859 or May 1860
FatherWilliam Larimer2 b. 19 Jun 1814, d. 24 Apr 1879
MotherPhebe Dryden Wilson2 b. 3 Dec 1820, d. 14 Aug 1894
BirthCircacirca 1848 Margaret A. Larimer was born in Virginia circa 1848.2 
DeathMay 1859 or May 1860 Margaret died in Washington County, Virginia, in either May 1859 (abstracted county death records) or May 1860 (1860 US census mortality schedule). The county death record stated that she was 7 years old which would have been incorrect as she was recorded on the 1850 census; the mortality schedule listed her age as 11. It should be noted that the mortality schedule was intended to report all deaths in the county for the 12 months preceding 1 June 1860. However, some people appear to have offered the information for anyone in their household who died in the previous calendar year. Therefore it is quite possible she died in 1859.1,3
