Biography

Garner was Peggy's stepfather's name

: Margaret was biologically a Curry, not a Garner.: The concensus appears to be that Margaret "Peggy" Garner is the daughter of Robert Garner and Ann McCombe. Margaret's stepfather, who died before she was born, was named Garner. For some reason, unknown at this time, she adopted her stepfather's name early in life. <ref>This is the understanding of Richard Hollenbeck as of 16 Sep 2015.</ref>

Discrepancy about Birth Date ===: One duplicate says Peggy was born March 31, 1752. Where does thisdate come from? "The Howards of Eastern Kentucky" by the Magoffin County Historical Society has her birth as 1755.
