I'm curious as to whether the wife of Henry Mallow (b. 1758), Magdalena b. 1760, was a daughter of Lewis Bush and Catharine Stingley. Lewis is said to have had a daughter Magdalena but she is usually cited as having been born ca late 1740's (too early). However, nothing else is known of her. Lewis and Catharine Stingley Bush's daughter Sarah md Henry Mallow's older brother Adam Mallow and it would not have been terribly unusual for two brothers to have married sisters of another family. I don't make this a postulation -it's just an unresolved matter and I'd be most grateful if you'd let me know if you ever come across anything that bears on what happened to Lewis' daughter Magdalena.
