| 5451 | Margaret Drummond (circa 1340 - after January 31, 1375) was the second queen of David II of Scotland and a daughter of Sir Malcolm Drummond, Knt. (died circa 1346) by his wife Margaret, née Graham. Margaret first married Sir John Logie of that ilk, having by him a son John of Logie. She later served as a mistress to King David who was widowed from his first wife Joan of The Tower on August 14, 1362. Margaret then married David II of Scotland at Inchmurdach in Fife on February 20, 1364. They had no children and the King divorced her on March 20, 1369 on grounds of infertility. Margaret, however, travelled to Avignon, in southern France and made a successful appeal to the Pope to reverse the sentence of divorce which had been pronounced against her in Scotland. She survived the King, and was alive on January 31, 1375, but seems to have died soon after that date. | Drummond, Sir Margaret (I38563)

| 5452 | Margaret Drummond (mistress) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Margaret Drummond (c. 1475 - 1501) was a daughter of John Drummond, 1st Lord Drummond and a mistress of King James IV of Scotland. She was a great-great-great-great-niece of the Margaret Drummond who was King David II's second queen. Her death has been the subject of a very persistent romantic legend. She was definitely the mistress of James IV for much of 1496, and possibly for as long as 1495 to 1497. There are records from 1496 which refer to her living in the royal castles at Stirling and Linlithgow. However, the king had a number of mistresses in his time, and this relationship seems to have been shorter than those he had with either Marion Boyd or Janet Kennedy. [edit]Family Margaret and James IV had a daughter, Margaret Stewart. She married firstly John Gordon, Lord Gordon, (son of Alexander Gordon, 3rd Earl of Huntly and Margaret Douglas, daughter of Archibald Douglas, 5th Earl of Douglas). Their sons were George Gordon, 4th Earl of Huntly and Alexander Gordon (archbishop of Glasgow). She married secondly Sir John Drummond of Innerpeffry. [edit]Circumstances of death It is definitely known that in 1501 she died of food poisoning, along with her sisters Eupheme and Sibylla, while staying at their parents' residence. As a general rule, claims of poisoning made in relation to a historical figure who died after a sudden illness should be treated with caution, but in this case, with three people who presumably died shortly after eating the same meal, the contemporary judgement should be accepted. The three sisters are buried together in Dunblane Cathedral, their graves can still be seen in front of the altar. This did not cause a great deal of suspicion at the time; standards of food hygiene are unlikely to have been very good then, and cases of accidental food poisoning have happened in any period. After her death the king paid for masses to be said for her soul, and continued to support their daughter. [edit]Murder theories It has been widely suggested in more recent years that Margaret Drummond was murdered, either by English agents or by pro-English elements in the Scottish nobility. Many believe that James IV was planning to or had already secretly married Drummond, and her death was necessary in order to allow or force the King to marry the English princess Margaret Tudor, daughter of Henry VII of England and Elizabeth of York. The (comparatively recent) plaque on her grave in Dunblane Cathedral claims that she was commonly believed to be "privately married" to the king, and that she was murdered by Scottish nobles who supported the English marriage. Furthermore, the "Marriage of the Rose and Thistle", as the poet William Dunbar described it, brought about the Union of the Crowns exactly 100 years later, as it enabled their great-grandson James VI of Scotland to claim the English throne upon the death of Elizabeth I through his descent from Henry VII. Had James IV married Margaret Drummond instead of Margaret Tudor, the Union of the Crowns might never have taken place and Scotland might have remained an independent country. This idea has been the theme of numerous historical novels and popular histories. Serious historians are skeptical of the theory. It is not supported by the contemporary evidence, and originates in a history of the Drummond family written by Viscount Strathallan in 1681. Her death was probably a case of accidental food poisoning, a common cause of death at that time. The idea that James had to be pressured to marry Margaret Tudor is dubious. As Scotland was the less important and poorer country, it is more likely that James IV pressured Henry VII to give him his daughter. It is also clear that negotiations for the marriage had been taking place before Margaret Drummond died. | Drummond, Margaret (I37022)

| 5454 | Margaret Louisa Thompson was born 6 January 1901 in Roanoke, Missouri. She married Malachi J Lashbrook, son of George W Lashbrook and Ellen Hayes. He was born 13 May 1896 in Kansas City, Missouri. Louisa was a homemaker and was involved in the church, often conducting services. Malachi was a trucking transferor. He was a veteran of WWI and a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). They had an adopted daughter, Belva, who married an Ariaudo and they had two children.

| 5455 | Margaret Mortimer (née de Fiennes), Baroness Wigmore (born after 1269 - 7 February 1333) was an English noblewoman born to William II de Fiennes, Baron Tingry and Blanche de Brienne. Her paternal grandparents were Enguerrand II de Fiennes and Isabelle de Conde. Her maternal grandparents were Jean de Brienne and Jeanne, Dame de Chateaudun. In September 1285, when she was 14 or 15 years old, Margaret married Edmund Mortimer, 2nd Baron Wigmore, the son of Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Wigmore and Maud de Braose. They had three children: Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March (25 April 1287 - 29 November 1330) married Joan de Geneville, by whom he had twelve children. Maud Mortimer, married Theobald II de Verdon, by whom she had two daughters, Joan de Verdon and Elizabeth de Verdon. Hugh Mortimer, married Margaret De Ros as her second husband. | De Fiennes, Baroness Wigmore Margaret (I3797)

| 5456 | Margaret of Denmark (23 June 1456 - before 14 July 1486) was the Queen Consort of Scotland from 1469 to 1486 as the wife of King James III of Scotland. She was the daughter of King Christian I of Denmark (1448-1481), Norway (1450-1481), and Sweden (1457-1464), and his wife Dorothea of Brandenburg. The future King James IV of Scotland was her eldest son. She was betrothed to James of Scotland in 1460. The marriage was arranged by recommendation of the king of France to end the feud (1426-60) between Denmark and Scotland about the taxation of the Hebrides islands. In July 1469 (at age 13), at Holyrood Abbey, she married James III, King of Scots (1460-88). Her father, King Christian I of Denmark and also of Norway, agreed on a considerable dowry to her. He, however, was in need of cash, so the islands of Orkney and Shetland, Norwegian crown possessions, were pledged as security until the dowry was to be paid. William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness was at that time the Norse Earl of Orkney, who was made in 1473 to exchange his Orkney fief to castle Ravenscraig, so the Scottish throne took the earl's rights in the islands too. This marriage produced three children: James IV (17 March 1473 - 9 September 1513) James Stewart, Duke of Ross (March 1476 - January 1504), and John Stewart, Earl of Mar (December 1479 - 1503). Margaret became a popular queen in Scotland, and was described as beautiful, gentle, and sensible A story given by her son claims that Margaret was killed by a poison given to her by Ramsay, leader of one of the political factions[1] However, as Ramsay was favoured by the royal family also after the death of the queen, this is considered doubtful and may have been slander. She died at Stirling Castle and is buried in Cambuskenneth Abbey. Her great-great-grandson James VI of Scotland married another princess of her dynasty, Anne of Denmark. They became ancestors of all the future monarchs of England and Scotland. She was responsible for introducing the bloodline of England's first Danish monarch King Sweyn Forkbeard into the Scottish Royal blood line, and after James VI of Scotland ascended to the English throne in 1603, into the English royal bloodline as well. | Denmark, Queen Consort of Scotland Margaret of (I37021)

| 5457 | Margaret of Mar (died c. 1391) was Countess of Mar, an ancient Earldom in Scotland, in her own right. She was a daughter of Domhnall II of Mar and after the death of her childless brother Thomas became Countess of Mar. She had married William Douglas, 1st Earl of Douglas, who was succeeded by their son, James Douglas, 2nd Earl of Douglas and Earl of Mar and Garioch in right of his mother, and when he fell, leading the Scots at the battle of Otterburn. She was succeeded by her daughter, Isabel, who became Countess of Mar, possessed the Lordship of the Garioch, and also became the Countesss of the unentailed lands of the House of Douglas. | Mar, Countess of Mar Margaret of (I188)

She succeeded to the title of Countess of Angus in 1361, suo jure. Through her marriage, Margaret Stewart, Countess of Angus gained the title of Countess of Mar. She resigned as Countess of Angus, in favour of the father of her children, George Douglas, reserving for herself the frank tenement thereof for life on 9 April 1389. | Stewart, Countess of Angus Margaret (I13601)

| 5472 | Married cousin. Spelled Pruett and Prueit. Prewitt..One source says John was landowner at Tuscaloosa, AL and the richest man in the state. He had 300 slaves "Early Pioneers of Tuscaloosa, AL. Census : 1830 Tuscaloosa Co., Al 1840 Tuscaloosa Co., Al pg. 227, John W.

Prewitt 77 TN, Elizabeth 61 GA. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ______________________________________________________________________ From the Montgomery Advertiser 3/3/2009 NORTHPORT -- At the end of a narrow, gravel road on the edge of Lake Tuscaloosa is the final resting place of at least 300 slaves. Many of the graves are unmarked, while some are identified by names scrawled on crude sandstone markers. The Old Prewitt Slave Cemetery dates back more than 180 years, but since the 1970s has been nestled right against the bank of Lake Tuscaloosa. Directly across the lake from the slave cemetery is the Prewitt-Hagler Cemetery, the burial place of about 20 of Tuscaloosa County's earliest residents, including John Welch Prewitt, a slaveowner who fought in the War of 1812. When the lake was impounded to provide an adequate source of drinking water for Tuscaloosa, it formed a deep boundary between the slaves and those who once owned them and blocked public access to both historic cemeteries. Tuscaloosa resident and Prewitt slave descendant James "Wood" Wilson has obtained permission from two private landowners to access the Prewitt Slave Cemetery. But now, he is trying to ensure the public can get to the slave burial ground for years to come. "You've got to give the public rights to access this cemetery," Wilson said. Before his death at the age of 85 in March 1878, John Welch Prewitt, had amassed an estimated 6,000-acre plantation just north of what is now Northport. But now, because of the lake and the sale of property from one private landholder to another, the Old Prewitt Slave Cemetery is no longer freely accessible to the public. Private property must be crossed to get there. And the Prewitt-Hagler Cemetery is completely landlocked, with its only public access point coming not over land but by water. A privately owned forest encloses the cemetery's other borders. Earlier this month, Wilson took his plea to the Tuscaloosa County Commission, and the county's Engineering Department and legal team are looking for answers. Mike Henderson, the county's engineering coordinator, said he's nearing a possible resolution that he intends to take to Jim Adkins, who owns the land east of the slave cemetery, and Mike Musgrove, owner of the land on the cemetery's north side. One question that Henderson is trying to answer is whether the County Commission ever abandoned Old Byler Road, which leads from Bull Slough Road to the edge of Lake Tuscaloosa. Adkins' driveway parallels the Old Byler Road roadbed, and he has placed a gate at the edge of his property to keep out trespassers and others who used to hang out at the edge of Lake Tuscaloosa on the land he now owns. "People were coming out here every night," Adkins said of his reasons for the gate. But the gate is a barrier to Wilson and others trying to get to the cemetery. Now, he is using a makeshift dirt road that cuts across Musgrove's property. Musgrove said he takes no issue with Wilson getting onto the cemetery, but he and his wife -- both lawyers -- are concerned about the liability that comes with granted unfettered access across their land. "It's kind of a unique situation," Musgrove said. "I'm not denying them access. I'm allowing them to use my property because I don't want to let the cemetery go bad." He's also unsure whether the cemetery is considered public or private. Although it was used to bury the slaves of John Welch Prewitt, most of it is now on land owned by Edwina H. Aldridge, according to county land records. But the white cemetery across the lake isn't listed in any one person's name. Instead, that parcel of land is owned by Hagler Cemetery, according to county records. County Attorney Robert Spence said the county government's only duty is to make sure access to a cemetery isn't blocked to those entitled to be there. "I don't think we have an obligation to go out there, mark off the cemetery and build a road to it," Spence said. Spence cited a section of state law that mandates that the owners of land on which a private cemetery rests must give access to "family members, friends, or descendants of deceased persons buried there; any cemetery plot owner; and any person engaged in genealogical, historical, or cultural research ..." The public, including the casual history buff, is excluded. But that's not enough for Wilson, who said he wants to make sure future generations can freely come see what some consider to be the largest slave cemetery in Alabama. Nor is it enough for Eloise Prewitt, the great-great-great granddaughter of John Welch Prewitt, who has been involved with restoring the slave cemetery since the 1990s. She has never made a similar request for the Prewitt-Hagler Cemetery because the difficulty of accessing it has preserved it, she said. "It is totally hidden from the world," she said, "and that is the reason that cemetery has stayed intact all these years." But the slave cemetery, which carries obvious historical significance, is not in the same condition it was a century ago. And with enough public attention, she and Wilson believe it can be preserved for centuries to come. "I've never had anybody come to me and say, I want go to John Welch Prewitt's grave ...,'" Eloise Prewitt said. "But the slave cemetery, it is very historic and it needs to have public access." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Prewett, John Welch (I11442)
