Musgrave researchers, I am looking for Catherine Musgrave, dau of Caleb Musgrave and wife Elizabeth Cox. Estimate her birth year, 1750s. Suspect she may be my 4th g-grandmother but no proof. 4th g-grandfather Thomas Scott(1752-1824).
Can you please check your Musgrave tree or Musgrave heritage books? Thanks in advance.
