It is believed that Margaret Henderson Moore did not die in this country. There
are no records showing that she came here with her husband and four children.
It is most likely that she died shortly after giving birth to her fourth child,
Thomas in 1922 in Antrim, Ireland. Give that information, her burial location
is unknown, rather than at Sadsbury Friends Burial Ground.
