Margaret was the daughter of Jonas Wood and Mary Morss (Morris). She was the 2nd wife of Recompence Stanbery* (married about 1749), and the mother of at least eight of his children:
Rhoda Stanbery** Nesbitt, April 05, 1752
Samuel Stanbery*, June 26, 1754
Sarah Stanbery** Trembly, June 23, 1756
Recompence Stanbery*, September 23, 1758
Jonas Stanbery*, January 25, 1761
Margaret Stanberry*** Bradford, April 04, 1763
Anna (Nancy) Stanbery** Darby, December 23, 1767
Jacob Stanbery****, June 08, 1772
(It seems unlikely that she was the mother of Phebe Stanbery* Swan, who was born very early in 1749---on February 23, 1748/49---in fact, first wife Anna may well have died in childbirth with Phebe. This is followed by a three-year gap in births, before falling into an every-other-year pattern .)
The original surname was "Stanborough " or a similar "Stanborowe" variation in England. Over time there became dozens of spelling variations including but not limited to, Stanberry, Stanbury, Stansberry, Stansbury, Stanbro, ect.
Please note that these are the same family.
*This "Stanbery" spelling variation is based on spelling on headstone.
** Father's name spelled Stanbery (his headstone). Daughter assumed to have been born Stanbery,
*** Both her father's given name and his surname are misspelled on Margaret Bradford's headstone. "It appears that the stone carver was given the wrong information."
Note, that statement as an SAC has not been proven.
**** No grave marker to support a spelling change away from Stanbery.
Margaret was a Midwife. She remarried to John Darby Senior after Recompence's death. John Darby Junior married her youngest daughter, Anna (Nancy) Stanbery.
