  Margaret never re-married, but moved from the new home which she and John had shared for a very short time back to the Broaddoor Community near her people where she reared her children. In the 1800's mountian land was too poor to farm very successfully and so she moved where she could survive from the land. She taught her children how to live off the land, and to spin and weave, and many other crafts to make their lives better.
