• Notes

  Margaret was the seventh of nine children of Simeon Pownall and Katharine Housel Pownall. She was a Quaker. She wed Benjamin Hampton on the 5th month 10th, 1786 at the Monthly Meeting, Buckingham Twp., Bucks Co. Their surname was sometimes spelled Hamton. They had nine children: Moses in 1787, Benjamin in 1790, Sarah in 1792, Joseph in 1794, Margaret in 1797, Hannah Pownall in 1799, Mary and Ann in 1800 (twins) and Katherine in 1805. The Hampton family, with other Quakers, settled in Quakertown (Franklin Twp.), Hunterdon Co., New Jersey. Margaret's husband died there in 1828, so it was probably her place of death as well. It is assumed, but not confirmed, that Margaret was buried in the Friends Cemetery, Quakertown.
