Margaret Gardenhire was the fifth child and second daughter of Jacob and Katherine Gardenhire. Her father was a Revolutionary War soldier. Her place of birth on the 1850 census is listed as Tennessee, but this is before statehood, so it was actually the North Caroline territory.

- Jacob Gardenhire - b. about 1810
- George Pomeroy
- John Thomas - b. about 1814
- William Benun
- Archibald - b. about 1819
- Elizabeth
- Daniel Lafayette
- James H.
Margaret Gardenhire Carmichael is found by name in the following US Federal Census records:
- 1850 for Roane Co., Tn with her son, James and others
- 1860 for Roane Co., Tn with her son, James H. and others
The Loundon County website offers this look into the Carmichael family. "Located behind the courthouse in Loudon is one of the area's oldest homes. The Carmichael Inn is a two story log structure which served as a stopping place for stage coach travelers enroute from Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga. Travelers would be ferried across the river to spend the night and then resume traveling the next morning by the next stagecoach. Although the exact date of construction is unknown, the first stage of construction is thought to have been completed around 1810. The log house was built by John Hudson Carmichael (1780-1840). His sons operated the Inn, the ferry, and the stagecoach. Two of his sons, James and Dan, fell in love with and married two sisters who were traveling on the stagecoach from Georgia to the Tate Springs Resort. The Carmichael Inn can be described as an "I-house" as it is two stories tall, one room deep and two or more rooms long. It has a central chimney which opens into fireplaces in the two downstairs. The structure has a gable roof and two front and two rear doors. A two-story porch runs the length of the house." The Carmichael Inn was at one time used as a museum and visitors center."
The descendants of Margaret Gardenhire Carmichael are eligible to register as First Families of Tennessee at the East Tennessee History Center because her father, Jacob Gardenhire, bought and sold land in Tennessee before statehood.
