Margaret Jane Skomp married Christopher Columbus Roberts 30 Aug 1892, in Greene County, Indiana. They had two boys, John Daniel Roberts and Aden Columbus Roberts. Christopher Columbus Roberts died in 1905 and he is buried in the Scotland Cemetery in Scotland, Greene County, Indiana. In 4 Oct 1909, Margaret Jane Skomp Roberts married John T. Young. John T. Young dies in 1918. They did not have any children together. On 21 May 1930, Margaret Jane Skomp Roberts Young married William J. McElroy, widower.

Margaret Jane Skomp Roberts Young McElroy dies 2 March 1945 at the age of 79. William J. McElroy is the reporting person of her death. Her body is embalmed and she is shown buried in Scotland, Indiana, according to the Greene County Health Department. After visiting Scotland, Indiana and finding Christopher Columbus Roberts gravesite and William J. McElroy gravesite in the Scotland Cemetery, there is no marker for Margaret Jane. William J. McElroy was buried with his first wife Anna.

After speaking with the Cemetery Keepers and a 90 year old grand daughter of William J. McElroy, who remembers Margaret Jane McElroy, the belief is that she was buried with no maker next to Christopher Columbus Roberts in 1945. This is also the belief of the Greene County Health Department, unofficially. Burial records back then were spotty.
