I've always included a second wife for Edward May Magruder because the 1921 Yearbook of the American Clan Gregor Society mentioned a second wife named Elizabeth Frances Allen, but I've never been able to find any more information on her. She's not in any census nor the family graveyard. Dr. Magruder wrote an extensive autobiography which was included in an ACGS yearbook and there is no mention of her. I did find that Dr. Magruder's wife, Mary Cole Gregory, had a grandmother named Elizabeth Frances Allen. I believe she got mixed up somehow, so I am eliminating the second wife from Dr. Magruder.

After watching a genealogy show on television I remembered my grandmother was accepted by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). I searched for days and finally found my grandmother's application and acceptance dated 1919. I was able to log on their website and using my grandmother's number found out a few more tidbits about my ancestors.

Mom died Nov 13 at 94 years old. In going through her things I found out that her father died on Dec 23. I'd been missing the date. That's the same date my dad died on in 2014. I also found that my Aunt Elizabeth remarried in 1981, but I have been unable to find any documentation of that or any further documentation of my aunt.
I did decide to go with the Find A Grave site for my Uncle Frank. The birth year on his grave was within one of the 1940 census, the year of his death is roughly right, he's listed as Frank G Morris - which is correct and he's buried in the same section as Aunt Mollie - his mother-in-law.

Added Ann Maria Hancock's parents William Hancock and Susannah Grigsby.
I've never been able to find any reference to a son James to James Muncaster and Rachel Ann Gray, so I deleted him. Everything I've found shows sons Zachariah who went to Montgomery Co, MD and John who went to New Orleans and three daughters: Rachel, Sophia and Sarah.

My grandfather wrote an article on Muncasters in Maryland which confirms that James Copper Muncaster married a Hancock:
There seem to be no family records of the Muncasters of Maryland and the story is very
incompletely gathered from the court records of the province of Lord Baltimore and the State of
Maryland.
The first mention known is the record of marriage of James Monkister to Elizabeth Charmion in
1671. She owned some land in Charles County Md. and at her death it passed to her son William
Monkister. In later records her name was spelled "Shearman" and his became Muncaster as it is
now spelled.
William lived from 1675 to 1717. In 1707 he patented a tract called "Muncaster Croft", 100
acres. This seems to be all the land he ever owned though his wife's land was added to this.
The next owner was William Muncaster (1702-1750) and when he died it descended to his son James
(1735-1805) and the plantation had grown to about 400 acres at the time of his death. James
left it to his four children: Zachariah, John, Sarah and Sophia. He had another daughter
Rachel, but she had married Walter Stone of Frederick Co. against his wishes and he left her
out of his will. John (1769-1829) bought the shares of his brother and sisters in the farm in
1810, paying them 541.71 apiece. He lived on the farm. In 1796 he married Elizabeth Copper who
owned property in Alexandria, Va. His brother Zachariah was married in 1804 and moved to
Montgomery County where his wife Harriet Magruder owned a 200 acre farm and a group of slaves.
Their descendants are found in Montgomery County, Md.
In 1819, John sold his farm and everything on it, and moved his family (wife and five children)
to Louisiana, settling in Carrolton, near New Orleans. Charles Wallace, Christiana, Cyrus
Copper and Harriet Sophia reached New Orleans, a daughter, Mary was born afterwards, and a son
Dr. James Copper was left at Henderson, Ky. where it is said to have married a Miss Hancock and
set up the practice of medicine. He was about 22 years old and he held a diploma from Medical
College of Maryland, and license to practice in that state granted in 1818.
He practiced medicine in Henderson until his death in 1829, when he left a widow and three
children, but there is no record of their names, and they seem to have been lost to the
Maryland family until about 1877 when a letter from the oldest son gave the names of his
children as John, George, Thomas and three girls whose names he did not give. From this
descendants have been traced in Kentucky, largely up to date.

I got on Rootsweb and found William Hancock born about 1765
in Virginia, died 1827 in Henderson Co, KY.
Oct 27, 1788 he married Susannah Grigsby (born about 1767) in Fauquier
Co, VA. It shows them having 4 children,
one of which was Ann Maria born about 1800 in VA who married James C. Muncaster
born about 1798.
The only thing I really have on Annah is the 1850 census for
Henderson Co, KY which shows her living with her son John W. He was born June 22, 1821 in Henderson Co, KY. The date is consistent with what we have on
Ann Maria Hancock and we know the Hancocks and James Copper were all in
Henderson Co, KY, so it is likely that this Ann Maria Hancock is the same
Annah, but I can’t tell for sure.

Thomas Hart, Sr. (1650-1701) obviously couldn't be the husband of Mary Page (1609-1635) who died 15 years before her "husband" was born. Found there was a Mary Page (1609-1635) married to a Thomas Hart in England and their son's birth year fit. So I am deleting Thomas Hart, Sr. and Mary Page from my database.

Agonized long and hard about some of the information Jim Davis sent me. It violated the criteria I set up to limit the size of the database I was working on. Namely it extended far into the past along lines I did not follow, along spouses lines. However, the data was so detailed and went back so far that I've decided to include it.
It goes back from the West Virginia Muncaster line. John Muncaster (1821-1896) married Ann Hart. Ann's father was Thomas Hart and his parents were Capt. John B Hart and Patience Lane. Ann's mother was Sarah (Sallie) Bugg and her parents were Samuel Bugg and Elizabeth Bilbo.
