  • Name Margaret WASGATT 
    Birth Abt 1771  [1, 2, 3, 4
    • On the 1800 census, Benjamin Stanwood was enumerated with a woman age 26-44, providing her birthdate sometime between 1756 and 1774. Given that Margaret bore children every two years beginning in 1791, it seems most likely that she was born about 1771 and in her early childbearing years at the time of marriage.
