By this marriage she had her only child. She married second, a man by the name of BOLINGER, who died soon after the marriage. The third marriage was to Rev. Christian Frederick POST in 1763 (1767 according to Christ Church Register in Philadelphia). He had previously been married twice, to Indian women, but had no children by either marriage. He is quite often named as the father of Mary Margaret (HANDLEMAN?)

They are buried in the Reformed Churchyard in Hagerstown, Washington Co. Her tombstone reads, "Sacred to the memory of Mary Margaret POST, consort of the Rev. Christian F. POST, who departed this life Mar 7th., 1910, age 77y.(FH9, PAB11) Child:
