no proof her maiden name was Gaines.

Our Jamestown Ancestry (Beheathland) by Rev. Melvin Steadman: Margaret married 4 times:

• (1) Col John Prosser d 1677,
• (2) Capt Simon Miller of Essex (1642-1684),
• (3) Col Hugh French,
• (4) Col John Somerville (md 1705).

May have married Ralph Rouzee as 5th husband

Notes

Margaret was b. ca. 1655/56 in VA. She named her sons Anthony, Daniel, and Mason, which names might lead to her father’s name. As Hugh’s parents did not reside in Virginia, but in England, these names may be connected to Margaret’s family.
