Advisory on Wife of Henry Aylor

There is some disagreement as to the spouse of this Henry Aylor. Some researchers claim that he married Margaret Crigler, but this has been dis-proved by more recent researchers. Henry's wife was Margaret Thomas, daughter of John and Anna Maria (Blankenbühler) Thomas.

From "Germanna History Notes":

Researcher Cynthia Crigler wrote an article for Beyond Germanna (v10, n1, Jan 1998), in which she expressed doubt that the wife of Henry Aylor was Margaret Crigler, a daughter of Susanna Clore Weaver Crigler Yager. First, there was no evidence that Susanna, the mother, had a daughter, Margaret. [Susanna was the Susanna Wever on the headright list that I have been discussing recently.]

Apparently, the late B. C. Holtzclaw was the first to claim that Margaret Aylor, wife of Henry Aylor, had been Margaret Crigler. In turn, he was followed by the late Sarah Aylor Lewis, who repeated the claim. Perhaps Arthur D. Crigler made the same claim before Sarah, did but, in any case, he agreed. Though three people have repeated the statement in their published genealogies, this is simply the result of copying and not of research.

The children of John and Anna Maria (Blankenbühler) Thoma (Thomas) were:

John Thomas

Anna Magdalena, m. Michael Smith (Jr.)

Michael Thomas

(Anne) Margaret, m. Henry Aylor
