Notes - Note on Find a Grave:
Lots of mystery about Margareta. I was unable to find the date and/or place of death or burial for Margareta. She married Peter Derrickson June 19, 1740. He died December 28, 1753. She apparently married Matthias Nilsson about 1754. Her father's will, dated September 14, 1771 shows her as Margareta Stille alias Merridith, which would indicate she married a Mr. Merridith about after 1754.
