We are not sure that Henry Goldman had a dau. named Margaret, but we are sure o ne of the older dau. married Charles Hart. Court records in Ky prove that a si ster of Leah Goldman married Charles Hart in NC and that Charles Hart and this sister raised Leah. Estate Records in Mercer County KY prove that Charles Hart s wife at his death was named Margaret. I feel that Margaret was already marrie d to Charles Hart at the time of her father's death and was not named in his wi ll. It is possible one of the dau. named in the will had a second name of Marg aret. If this is the case, either Mary or Chaterine named in the will could be Margaret, but I feel this is not likely as I think Charles Hart was already ma rried to the Goldman dau. in 1781 at the time of this will. Since no dau. is n amed in the will with a surname of Hart, and both Mary and Catherine are named in the will with no surname listed, I feel they were both still unmarried and c arrying the name Goldman. Henry Goldman is the earliest proven ancestor in our Goldman line. He was in Mecklenberg County, NC by 1762. His wife's name is unkn own but it is probable one of her daughters carries her name. Henry Goldman pru chased land along Little Coldwater Creek in Mecklenberg County, close to the pr esent town of Kannapolis, in 1764. His will is recorded in Book C pages 116-118 of Mecklenberg County records and was proved in April 1781. The children named in this will are as follows. Henry Jr. b. ca 1759, d. 1795 Washington Co.
