Evidence needed to support Margaret Magruder as daughter of Capt. William Brainthwaite & Eleanor Brainthwaite

Alexander McGruder married at least twice in Maryland. If we are correct that he was born in 1610, he was about 42 when he arrived, so he may have been married in Scotland. About his Maryland wives, the only thing we can be sure of is that no two people agree about who they were. Traditionally, he is said to have married a Margaret Brathwaite, daughter of a cousin of Lord Baltimore, who once served as a temporary governor of the colony. No record confirms this, and there is no evidence that Alexander received patronage from that family–the Calverts–who were known for generosity to their own.
