Selected Person

Margaret Rose Sansom was born on 11 February 1859. Current working notes place her birth in Logan County, with a West Virginia clue and a possible Kentucky place conflict that should be resolved through original records. She is linked to Riley Sansom as father and Sarah Cline, also seen as Sarah Sally Kline, as mother.

Research Notes

Margaret Rose Sansom is identified in a FamilySearch profile as born on 11 February 1859, in Logan, West Virginia, United States. That profile lists Riley Sansom as her father and Sarah Cline as her mother. It also states that she married George Maynard on 5 March 1876 in Meeker, Minnesota, United States. The same summary describes Margaret and George as the parents of at least 3 sons and 7 daughters.

Her life appears to connect several migration and settlement points. The FamilySearch summary places her in Delbarton, Mingo County, West Virginia in 1910 and in Carbondale Township, Ward County, North Dakota in 1920. It gives her death as 29 December 1928 in Minot, Ward County, North Dakota, and states that she was buried in Minot, Ward County, North Dakota.

A separate Maynard genealogy page gives a similar structure. It identifies Margaret Sansom as the daughter of Riley Sansom and Sarah Cline, wife of George Maynard, married on 5 March 1876 in Meeker County, Minnesota. That page gives her birth as 11 February 1859 in Logan County, West Virginia, her death as 29 December 1928 in Minot, Ward County, North Dakota, and her burial as 30 December 1928 at Rose Hill Cemetery in Ward County, North Dakota.

A conflict remains in the project notes. One project entry gives the death as 28 December 1928 at Rosehill, Covington, Alabama, United States. The stronger current working lead points to Minot, Ward County, North Dakota and Rose Hill Cemetery in Ward County, North Dakota. The Alabama entry should remain visible as a conflict until a death certificate, cemetery entry, obituary, probate file, or local register resolves the issue.
