History of Lycoming County by J F Meginnes:
Margaret was the daughter of Cornelius & Margaret (Malone) Powlson of New Jersey. Her parents had eight children the oldest being Margaret. Her father owned 500 acres of land opposite Easton Pa which he sold in 1812 taking payment in continental script. The money afterward proved worthless and he was thus reduced to poverty. The Powlsons went to live with a kind neighbor Peter Sharp, the father taking charge of the farm and general business affairs of that gentleman. On the death of Mr. Sharp and his wife, who left no descendants, a will was found in a secret drawer of his private desk which left all his property to Mr. Powlson and at the death of the latter it was to be divided among his children.
