Notes for MARGARET GARDNER:
According to an article appearing in the Palmyra Spectator, September 1936, concerning the Samuel Conway, Sr. family and its history; Samuel Conway, Jr. married in Pendleton Co., Ky., to Mollie Gardner, December 14, 1815. He came to Marion Co. prior to 1820, perhaps 1818 or 1819. One of the very early marriges in the county occurred at his home when his wife's sister, Margaret Garner, (don't know why not spelled the same?) became the wife of John Bush, who had also arrived from Kentucky.
After a few years sojourn in Kentucky as neighbors of the Conways and Millers, John Bush came to Missouri, and after arrival here, he became even more closely associated with them than he had in Kentucky.
