October 12 1809, Moses Titchenal, estate, Margaret and David Tichenal, administrators, accounts paid to: Matthew Ball, John Beall, Henry Duckworth, Legatee, the widows third, John Smith, (Moses' daughter Phoebe's husband and Guardian of Besty and William Smith), Thomas Pritchard, (his wife's share), and for Stephen, Margaret and Jane Tichenal, per court order.
Margaret Tichenal, Moses' widow, married a man named James Ryan. The date of the wedding is unknown, but it was probably sometime after 1809. She was still listed as a head of household in the 1800 census and listed as Margaret Tichenal on the 1809 accounting of her deceased husband's Estate, Her last child Jane was married in 1814.
The only proof that Margaret Tichenal married a second time is the will of Margaret Ryan dated October 19, 1818 which named sons, David, Joshua, & Stephen and daughters Margaret, Abigail & Jane Tichnel, wife of George Cease. She died in Hardy County, Virginia some time after October 19, 1818, at the age of at least 72.
James Ryan may have been a relative of John Ryan. John Ryan had been a revolutionary solder. He served in Col. Moses Hozen's Regiment (second Canadian) Continental Army which fought alongside the New Jersey Militia. He had been awarded military land and had lived in the area of Bloomington a long time. He may have been in the Garret county area before Moses. In fact "Ryan's Glade"[7] was named after him. He and his family must have been friends of Moses and Margaret Tichenal.
