Margaret Berenger's father died when she was very young and her mother Margaret Foster married 2) John Yeamans. That would explain the Margaret Berringer Yeamans citation. Margaret Berenger did marry James Moore, Sr. The Yeamans, Berenger (Berringer)s families came from Barbadoes to SC, as I believe did James Moore. John Yeamans became a Landgrave in SC. Arrived from Barbados June 1671. Wife, Lady Margaret Yeamans; sons William, George, Edward; daughters Ann and Willoughby. Yeamans was a member of the grand Council, A Lord Proprietors Deputy, Lieutenant General, and Governor of Carolina. Baldwin, "First Settlers of South Carolina." Also spelled "Yeomans." He was known as Col. John Yeamans in 1662. Will recorded in Barbados Records, Sanders, pg 401. "Yeomans, John Barronett, embarking to Province of Carolina. 20 May 1671, RB6/9, p. 204. Wf Lady Margaret Yeomans; land bounding Henry Miles Esq, Tho: Merricke Esq, & Lt. Col. Birrienger decd; negros Lt. Col.
