Margaret H. GARDNER was born in 1783 in Pennsylvania. She died in 1858 in Georgia. Ken Parker: Margaret's mother died in giving birth to Margaret, and Margaret was reared by her grandparents Elliot. When she was about two years old (1785), her grandfather George Elliot, his sons, his sons-in-law and a few others left Cumberland County, PA and started the journey south to GA. Hearing the Indians were hostile in GA, they spent a year in Rockbridge County, VA. In the fall of 1786, they moved on and made the first white settlement at New Hope in what is now the southern part of Madison County, GA.
