Dear A.T. Powell and all others, The way that I understand the situation is such: George Campbell was a man who was about 25 years older than his wife Margaret. We do not know her maiden name at this point. When George Campbell died in Amherst Co VA, his wife was made executor of his estate. After she was widowed, she remarried to a man named John Henderson. I don't think she would be of a child bearing age when she remarried, she probably did not have any children with Henderson. Margaret had a daughter named Margaret Campbell. Is it possible that this Margaret Campbell married a John Henderson? Are researchers confusing the mother with the daughter, because both names are the same? Is it possible that both mother and daughter happened to marry men named John Henderson? In 1791 Ruth Campbell, d/o George and Margaret, got married to DePriest, the marriage record is signed by her mother as Margaret Henderson, meaning as of 1791 Margaret Campbell, the widow of George, had now become Mrs. Margaret Henderson, remarried. Margaret Campbell, wife of George, had her last birth in 1768, twin girls. Her husband died 1777, 9 years after the last birth. Her first child was born 1745. From 1745 through 1768 she was having babies. This time range may help to identify her child bearing years, and if she had later children with John Henderson. I do not know for sure, but I would guess that she did not have more kids with Henderson, I feel she was out of her child bearing years. That is the understanding of the situation that I have, and would like to hear from others if this is wrong.
