    Margaret Plowman is a married name. Margaret appears with John Thomas Bailey in the 1870 Federal Census along with five children from a previous marriage. Emma E. Plowman, her youngest daughter from that marriage, would eventually marry Thomas G. Bloom, the younger brother of Ida Rachel Bloom, John’s second wife. At least one researcher on Ancestry has entered Margaret’s maiden name as Kelly, though I’ve found no data to support it.

    This past weekend I found a number of Plowmans in the Wiseburg Methodist Cemetery in Wiseburg, Maryland. I didn’t give it much thought at the time, but I will have to stop there again and see if there any matches.
