  • Notes 
    • I found the following note on Margaret Dalzell's family group sheet from Luceal McGregor Lewis' files: "widow one son William." So far I have not found any other information about her, other than her marriage and death records. Neither one gives the name of her parents.

      Update 11/2014 - Ella Berrington's birth record was corrected and shows Margaret's last name as Dalzell.

      Alternate spellings of her maiden name: Dozell, Dalzel, Bozell

      Note that James Armstrong Thome was a well-known anti-slavery Presbyterian minister in Cleveland at the time Joseph and Margaret were married. This is probably the same J. A. Thome who signed their marriage certificate.
