Notes for Margaret Laing Vail: Margaret being at that time 87 years of age if this record is correct.It is so given in Leonard's article "Chapter No. 47," Plainfield Courier-News, 24 August, 1917.Leonard does not, however, give the date of Margaret's death, -- which Shotwell (loc. cit.) gives as 1805, i. e. one year after her marriage with David Laing.It seems probable that Shotwell's record is correct.
