Margaretta Keyser Cañedo

14 October 2026 — Completed probate relationship mapping

Peter Keyser’s original will dated 16 March 1846 identifies Margaret Canedo among his children. The distinctive family group correlates this person with the existing Margaretta Keyser Cañedo profile. The father link to Peter Keyser (1766–1849) is now recorded. The will does not independently establish her mother; no mother link is inferred from Peter’s wife. The same will explicitly names her husband Cipriano Cañedo (husband of Margaretta Keyser); the spouse link is recorded, without promoting the compiled wedding date to a verified date. The will gives her share to her children and calls her the late wife of Cipriano Canedo. The living Margaretta Canedo who witnessed the 1847 codicil is not conflated with this deceased daughter.
