Notes for Jennie Margaret McCartney:
I have always been told that the correct name was Margaret Jane McCartney, and most of the documents that we have seen give the name as Margaret. However, when we asked about the name being given as Jennie Margaret McCartney in the John Grubb Genealogy, her daughter, Margaret Irwin (born Lillian Margaret Mahaffey) said that yes, the correct name was Jennie Margaret. Jennie's other daughter, JoAnn, had never heard the name as anything other than Magaret Jane.
