Margaret Glasgow was the daughter of Arthur Glasgow and Rebeckah Anderson McNutt. She married James Edmondson.
According to DAR app #495560 for Major David Edmondson: his son James Edmondson, was born "8 Jan 1785" in Lexington, VA and died "2 Jan 1833." He married Margaret "Peggy" Glasgow on 17 Apr 1823. She, was born "1 Mar 1793," and died 24 Jun 1873 in Glasgow, VA. (I note the census has her born closer to 1800 since age 50, 60 and 70. I suspect this birth date is a little off.). Note: old DAR records required less proof, verify her birth date elsewhere.
On the 1850 Lexington, Rockbridge Co., VA census, I found the family: (son in law) merchant John B Counevey, 33; (daughter) Rebecca A Counevey, 23; Margaret G Counevey, 2; Anna Counevey, 10/12; (widow) MARGARET Edmondson, 50 and (son) Jas Edmondson, 18, all VA born.
On the 1860 Lexington, Rockbridge Co.. VA census, I found (son)Deputy Clerk of the Court, James K Edmonson, 28; (James' wife) Emma J Edmonson, 24 and MARGARET Edmonson, 60, all VA born.
On the 1870 Lexington, Rockbridge Co., VA census, I found (son)J K Edmondson, 38; Emma Jane Edmondson, 32; (widow) MARGARET Edmondson, 70 and Alcy Gilbert, 70, all VA born.
