Narrative:

     Margaret Brown was born about 1763.4,5,6
     Margaret married Ichabod Worden, son of Sylvester Worden and Rebekah Eccleston, on 7 Feb 1781 in Stonington, Connecticut, with Charles Phelps, justice of the peace, officiating.7,8,9
     Margaret and Ichabod moved to western Vermont before 1791. Margaret was probably one of the two females listed in the household of her husband, Ichabod Worden, in the 1790 Federal Census of Shaftsbury, Bennington Co., Vermont.14
     Margaret and Ichabod moved to Halifax, in south eastern Vermont, before 1800. She was probably the female age 26 to 44 listed in the household of her husband, Ichabod Worden, in the 1800 Federal Census of Halifax, Windham Co., Vermont.15
     Margaret and Ichabod moved to northern New York, near the east end of Lake Ontario, apparently about 1805. She was probably the female age 26 to 45 listed in the household of her husband, Ichabod Worden, in the 1810 Federal Census of Rutland, Jefferson Co., New York.16 She was probably the female over age 45 listed in the household of her husband, Ichabod Worden, in the 1820 Federal Census of Rutland, Jefferson Co., New York.17
     By 1830 Margaret and Ichabod had moved to Brighton, on the south shore of Lake Ontario, where their daughter Roxana and her husband were living. Margaret was probably the female age 60 to 70 appearing on the 1830 Federal Census of Brighton, Monroe Co., New York, in the household of Gideon Cobb, husband of her daughter Roxana. Her husband was probably the male age 60 to 70 in the same household.18
     She was probably the female age 70 to 80 listed in the household of her husband, Ichabod, in the 1840 Federal Census of Brighton, Monroe Co., New York.19
     Her husband died on 1 Nov 1844 in Brighton, New York.20,10,21
     Margaret filed an application for widow's pension for the Revolutionary War service of her late husband on 20 Jun 1845, in Rochester, New York, stating she was a resident of Brighton. The pension was never granted; the pension office asked for further proof of their marriage on 1 Sep 1845, nearly a month after her death. Correspondence continued on her behalf, but apparently was never successful.22
     Margaret died on 6 Aug 1845.10,11 She was buried on 7 Aug 1845 in Mount Hope Cemetery, Rochester, New York, next to her husband, in their son-in-law's lot.12,13
