Margaret came to Western New York when she was eighteen years of age. She walked most of the way and carried a gun. She was the only woman among eight men and when she was cooking their meals, the bears and wolves would bark and growl around. It took them three days to traverse the last mile to Owasco Village where they settled on a farm.*
Margaret Cortright is the daughter of Captain Moses Henry Cortright (1745-1824) of Port Jervis then Owasco, and Anna Van Etten (d. 1800).
She married Abraham Depuy on 27 April 1796. If the Saffarine Bible is correct, she would have been married in Owasco territory. Abraham was from Deerpark, Orange, New York.
