Person:Margaret Hogshead (4)

On 6 August 1750 the vestry voted to pay £4 to Margaret Frame, a poor widow woman, for support for her children. On 22 November 1752 the vestry allowed Margaret Frame the sum of £6 for support of one of her children. Between 1753 and 1774 Margaret Frame was regularly allowed support for keeping an object of charity.

In 1763, as a widow, Margaret engaged John Poage to settle a dispute with Robert Hooks. Poage wrote a letter to Hooks on Margaret's behalf: Sir: -- Margaret Frame complains to me that have taken advantage of her son in a bargain of gun swapping. I find there was a little deceit used, for you refused to stand to your agreement, for if you had not known you had the best of ye bargain, you would have been willing to have taken your own again. But I desire you will take your own without giving the widow any more trouble, or you might depend that I will take care to serve both you and her justice. From, Sir, your, /s/ John Poage. This 10th February 1763. The case came to court in March 1764 in Augusta County, Virginia.

She was last mentioned in 1779 in the lawsuit of Isaac Zane vs. Wm. Frame. Petition on account 1767 10 1774. Writ, 28th March 1774. "Defendant is Widow Frame's son and lives near Stone Meeting House."
