On her death certificate it reads that Martin Byers of Belmont County, Ohio was her father and that Sarah Jane Courtney of Pochantas County WV was her mother. Could this Martin be in your families. I do hope so. Margaret was born 1861 so that would put her father's birth around 1840. You can email me at [email protected] I hope to hear from you soon. Shirley
