2946. Margaret Lee Rutenbur 7, born Nov. 8, 1809. [Died 25 Jan. 1867] She had a table of rich and rare workmanship, with a design of the Lion and Unicorn with the Crown, which was presented to one of the Richmonds by the King, for services as a Colonel in the old French War**.

**After the capture of Louisbourg and Capt Breton, Col. Sylvester Richmond was invited to England to receive the thanks of the Crown - he sent his son, Col. Ezra Richmond instead, who received a commission from King George II (per J.B. Richmond book). Perhaps the table was a present to Colonel Sylvester Richmond, Margaret Lee Rutenbur's great-grandfather.
