Disputed Origins

Margritt's maiden name is uncertain but has been proven as NOT being Mott.
Margaret Darnell wife of Dr David Darnall. I am wanting to change her parents and surname Mott. The Margittri Mott genealogy states that she had married twice and David Darnall was not one of them. With a son named Morgan, he was probably given that name which was her maiden name. Please take her off of the Mott site.

Half of the Ancestry.com trees that are researching this line, elude to her name being Margret Morgan with a date of birth as 29 Mar 1659 in Saint Pauls Parish, Kent, Maryland and a father Henry Morgan (the others morphing records of Doniphan, Morgan, Darnall and Mott as if they have no clue that this combination of names remains incompatible. I have not processed the records in these 26 trees that I have found to see if in fact her name is substantiated as Morgan and/or if the date of birth and location and father are truly substantiated. Managers and others with interest might want to look into that. I may or may not have found the source but don't know how to substantiate if it is really this Margritt. Can anyone try to find through family search or another favorite location to see if you can pull this together? Could her name be Morgan? Are there additional records for a Margret Morgan with father Henry out there that could be perused in an attempt to rule in or out a new possible connection to someone besides Mott? Could Doniphan's wife have been a Margret Morgan, instead of Margaret Mott? Here's the source of interest: [7]
