Mrs. Margaret Pettigrew left on Thursday for Santa Fe, on the Islle of Pines. This will be her third visit to that tropical island, where her plantation of oranges and grape fruit is just coming into bearing, some grape fruit having been shipped the present winter. Mrs Pettigrew will remain on the island several months before returning home.4
Margaret's Find A Grave page shows that she was born in 1847 and her marker clearly shows that. However, there is evidence to support the December 1845 that we currently show including the 1900 ND, Stutsman, Jamestown census.3

John and CCA - inscription in a book given by John to his brother on his departure to New Zealand from Ontario in 1863.
From Elaine Bell, "In October 1878 John, his wife Margaret (nee McPherson), along with their five adult children (Margaret, Janet, Mary, Ronald and John) emigrated to North Dakota. Travelling with them was Thomas Wildridge Bell, a son of Angus - this provides a link, presumably a family link, between John and Angus.".
