Just prior to 1900, the Gregory Family moved to Lincoln Co., OK. And Margaret married William Merritt Alexander at Prague, Lincoln Co., OK in Dec 1898. William was born in Texas, but little else is known of his parents.
Margaret & William were married about 20 years until his premature death in 1918 at the age of 39 years.
The couple had 5 children: daughters Edna & Bertha; and 3 sons Wm Luther, Orval and Carl Alexander.
The Alexanders were also farmers, growing cotton among other things.
Margaret lived on as a widow until her death in 1952 at the age of 80 years. She resided with her children. Also, with her mother when she became widowed, too. A couple of her brothers also joined them adding some financial support, but it hard to imagine how they subsisted. JT
