There is some confusion or disagreement on the parentage between the children of Margaret Aikens, if any, and some of the children of Margaret Gibbs. Each woman married a separate Nathaniel Whitcomb, who are not closely related.

Margaret Ingersoll was the daughter of Margaret Gibbs. However, there is some confusion or disagreement by those who claim that she was the daughter of Margaret Aikens who married a different Nathaniel Whitcomb.
