Margaret is often cited to be Margaret Bernard but there is no evidence to support this identification. refer to

"...the marriage date of (1662 for Daniel) Gaines is derived from the record whereby John Catlett turned over the property of his half brother’s children to Gaines in January 1662 in Old Rappahannock County, Virginia. The 1662 event signaled a recent marriage to the children’s mother thus identifying her as Margaret, the widow of Ralph Rouzee. Tradition has called her Margaret Bernard, because the couple named a child Bernard. However there are no corroborating records supporting this conclusion. From this January 1662 date it is reasonable to conclude the issue of the Gaines-(?) Rouzee union were born no earlier than late 1663." [During this era, January 1662 was towards the end of the year; after 25 March the year became 1663.]

The first is the failure to identify Daniel’s wife Margaret (?) as the widow Rouzee. Based on the language in Daniel’s will where he calls Ralph Rouzee and John Smith his sons-in-law1 his daughters Margaret and Mary were married to these men in spite of the fact that elsewhere in the very same will it is obvious his daughter Mary had not reached her majority and was unmarried. The second mistake is related to his daughter Margaret who is all too frequently identified as the same Margaret who married John 2 Prosser,SimonMillerandHughFrenchandlaterJohnSommerville. Thethirdistheassignmentofa 3 All three of these mistakes are correctable when records related to Daniel and his kinship web are compiled and basic logic is applied to the findings. Unfortunately there are many genealogists who never progress beyond the search phase ....

2. Sarah, m. John Smith

Ralph died[1] before 25 January 1662, and his children were made wards of Ralph's half-brother John Catlett I[2] until Ralph's wife Margaret re-married to Daniel Gaines, who subsequently assumed custody of Ralph, Jr. and Sarah, who are both mentioned in Daniel Gaines's will.
