I have two Irish grandmothers (great & a great great) and I know nothing more than that. I'd love to trace them back but i think a place name at least would have been helpful to have passed down. A lot of women named Margaret left Ireland in the middle of the nineteenth century.
Some day we will be able to take advantage of ancestryDNA here in the wilderness, and I'll be interested to see the results when we can.
I loved that story about the natives "borrowing" the little girl. And you have a picture of her too! That is so cool.
