Her grandson, Oscar Hadley, related that Margaret met Joshua aboard ship from NC to either Mobile or New Orleans. She is variously reported as being accompanied by two brothers, or nephews, Jake and John. She is also variously reported native of NC or Germany. However, all census records on her say NC. Tradition has Joshua and Margaret marrying in Alabama, which is buttressed but not proven by the census records reflecting AL as birthplace of some of her children.
According to the Starnes history Margaret was born in Mecklenburg Co NC. Margaret and Joshua is presumed to have married in Mecklenburg Co. They are found in Franklin Co AL in 1830.
