Notes for Margaret Elizabeth Ridenour
SV-183 indicates her name was Isabella Young
Kay & Darrell Groves have good Ridenour info (SV-946 for reference)
He may have been married to an Agnas in 1778; Deed Book A, pg 96. (SV-515)

Her name in marriage record is spelled Reidinnaur. (SV-507 pg 4)
Some sources say she married Johannes/Andrew Summers. (SV-1583.14)
He may have been earlier married to Isabella Young but his will of 1803 says his wife is Elizabeth. John leaves her 1/3 of his “plantation.” (SV-488)

SV-251 says her forename is Margaret

SV-140 & 242 claim she was born in 1752 but her dau. Eliz. was born in 1761!!
SV-356 lists the complaintants of John Summers death. It lists Elizabeth Allen (late Summers) so did she marry a Thomas Allen??
