Yunno Karen, Criminals have been thrown in prison on less circumstantial evidence than you have, and yet we still are stubborn about finding that physical link...I know absolutely in my heart that Margaret Magby was a daughter of Robert Magby by his first wife, but family lore says she's the daughter of Elijah Megabee/Magby. I've found no such person as Elijah in the right time frame to be her father, yet Robert fits all the criteria except physical proof. The only proof I know of is apparently lost, the bible that Robert's son William and his wife allegedly saved from their house fire. Does anyone know if this story is true? Boy, what I wouldn't give for a peek at that. Ali United we stand, divided we fall. God Bless America!! From: "S.

You have cleared up a mystery I have long since been perplexed about. Family names more often than not tell the story.
