Hello! I'm seeking the ancestors of the Margaret CAMPBELL (b. bef 1755) who
married Alexander CROCKETT. I have very little information on her other
than her daughter, Margaret CROCKETT, was born on 28 may 1770 (I haven't
discovered the location; the date is from her gravestone) and married
revolutionary soldier George CARLYLE on 7 Feb 1791 in Bourbon Co, KY.

2 Margaret "Peggy" CROCKETT b: 28 May 1770 d: 18 Aug 1836 Woodford Co, KY
+George CARLYLE b: 31 May 1751 Fairfax Co, VA m: 7 Feb 1791 Bourbon Co, KY
d: 4 May 1827 Woodford Co, KY
An excerpt from "The History of Woodford County, Kentucky" By William E.
Railey:
"George Carlyle and his wife Margaret Crockett, and his children,
numbering in all twelve persons in 1810, lived here and reared their
family. He had fourteen slaves that he used in the cultivation of his
large estate. In the census of 1810 his name is erroneously spelled
Carlisle. He was an only son of John Carlyle and Sarah Fairfax, of
Alexandria, Virginia, and his wife, Margaret Crockett, was a daughter of
Alexander Crockett and Margaret Campbell."
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
