MISCELLANEOUS_NOTES: Margaret is remembered as a handsome woman much admired for her gracious bearing and stately carriage. She dressed well, and in the austere Quaker days between 1840 and 1850 was regarded as somewhat gay and fashionable. The Binns' family was consumptive, and it was after nursing an elder sister that Margaret developed symptoms of the disease, early in 1850. From that time she was never well, and she suffered much in the eighteen months that intervened before her death. John Andrews wrote for his children a short memoir of their mother and from this we learn how happy were their six years of married life.
