Hi Anne & Everybody, I'm a little confused about Margaret. Margaret Brisbin m to James Rutherford was Capt. John's sister. But, the 1753 date does seem a little late for a sister, not impossible, but improbable. I have it entered it for her though. I do not show a daughter named Margaret for Capt. John. But, Isabella his second wife has a daughter Margaret (b 1752-1757). Capt. John was appointed guardian to three of Isabella's children. Margaret would have been one of them. I do not have a marriage for Margaret McNabb. Here are my notes for Margaret Brisbin. Jackie MARGARET BRISBIN RUTHERFORD: Muriel Morrison received this information from Elizabeth Zeigler of Pittsburg, PA, a descendant of Capt. John Brisbin: "John emigrated to America with an elder brother, William, and a sister, Jannett. Evidently their parents didn't come with them, as John returned to Ireland sometime after the French-Indian War to bring his sister, Margaret, to America, possibly due to the death of the parents." 2 Jan 1772: Marriage, Margaret Brisbin to James Rutherford, recorded by Rev. John Elder at the Paxton Church of Harrisburg, PA. Sent by Anne Futch. From Egle's Notes & Queries, 1898 p 37-41:'Uncle Jimmy'(Rutherford) left no descendants. "...wife, Margaret Brisban, sister of that distinguished soldier of the Pensylvania Line, Captain John Brisban, and who was in her own personality, a notable woman, one who was able to make herself felt wherever she was, and to express herself in language which cannot be paraphrased, and who, according to tradition, has the distinction of having been the only woman ever initiated into the mysteries of Free Masonry, and ever after was a living refutation of that miserable slander on the sex which says 'a woman cannot keep a secret'."
