Margaret Rose Sansom is the focus of this working genealogy note for TG502168. She is identified in the FamilySearch profile as born on 11 February 1859, with Riley Sansom listed as her father and Sarah Cline listed as her mother. The same profile places her marriage to George Maynard on 5 March 1876 in Meeker, Minnesota, and describes the couple as the parents of at least 3 sons and 7 daughters. This research page follows the Sansom, Cline, and Maynard surname trail across West Virginia, Minnesota, and North Dakota.

The strongest current research pattern places Margaret Rose Sansom in Logan County, West Virginia, or possibly a Logan County location that has been confused in later trees as Kentucky. Her later life is associated with Delbarton, Mingo County, West Virginia in 1910 and Carbondale Township, Ward County, North Dakota in 1920. The FamilySearch profile gives her death as 29 December 1928 in Minot, Ward County, North Dakota, with burial in Minot. A separate Maynard genealogy page similarly lists Margaret Sansom as the daughter of Riley Sansom and Sarah Cline, married to George Maynard on 5 March 1876 in Meeker County, Minnesota, born 11 February 1859 in Logan County, West Virginia, and buried at Rose Hill Cemetery in Ward County, North Dakota.

This page also records a conflict that needs careful follow-up. The project notes include a death entry of 28 December 1928 at Rosehill, Covington, Alabama, United States, while the FamilySearch profile and another Maynard genealogy page point instead to Minot, Ward County, North Dakota, and Rose Hill Cemetery in Ward County. For now, the North Dakota death and burial pattern should be treated as the stronger working lead, while the Alabama entry should be retained as a conflict until a death certificate, cemetery record, obituary, probate record, or local register confirms the correct date and place.
