I found her on 1920 census as 8 years old with these parents, name is Margaret T Kinsey.
Found her on 1930 census as 19 years old, single, with these parents, name Margaret Kinsey.
1931 (SWTimes)Miss Margaret hosts YWA group of Baptist Church.
1932 Marriage License to CP Quesenberry has her as age 21, name Margaret T Kinsey born in Franklin County, VA.
1936 (SWT) Miss Margaret performs in music club program.
1938 (SWT) Miss Margaret and mother members of Ladies Auxiliary of Pulaski Fire Department.
1940 Census has her living with both parents on 5th Street Pulaski, single, name Margaret T Kinsey, teaches at and owns a commercial school.
1941 (SWT) Miss Margaret hosts music study group.
1942 (SWT) Miss Margaret attends funeral of grandmother, Mrs. JW Kinsey.
1949 (SWT) Mr & Mrs AH Williams host birthday dinner for Mrs Wm's father, WL Kinsey.
1950 (SWT) Mrs. Wm's honored at birthday party by husband AH Wm's and mother Mrs WL Kinsey.
1950 (SWT) Mrs Wm's and Mrs Kinsey to entertain church choir at their home on 5th St. (Still living w/mother)
1951 (SWT May6) Operating William's Business School, husband deceased. Also teaching business courses at Draper High School in Pulaski County.
1958 (SWT Feb 12) Funeral Notice for Addy Kinsey. Daughter listed as survivor, I suggest the Kay in her name should have been K for Kinsey(SWT is notorious for errors, always has been!)
1965 (SWT Jan 24) Funeral Notice for WL Kinsey. Only siblings mentioned, which meant all other family members most likely deceased. At that time, it was not customary to list those predeceasing.)
Margaret is mentioned frequently in society columns of the Southwest times, both before and after marriage. She was a solo soprano singer, and apparently quite good, member of many church groups and civic organizations, and a tournament bridge player. Her mother was also such affiliated. Margaret and AH were married between 1942 and 1949, I have been unable to find a marriage announcement, which I find odd, since every time she sneezed it was noted in the papers! She already owned and operated her business school in 1940 at the age of 29 and before her marriage to Mr. Wm's. The newspaper announcement was for relocating and expanding the school.
Mother and brother(Eugene M Kinsey 1903-1922) buried in Oakwood Cemetery Pulaski, father in Mountain View Memorial Park Franklin. No Margaret Kinsey/Williams listed in either cemetery.
You should look for a marriage license for Margaret Kinsey and AH Williams between the years 1942 and 1949. Also check with Pulaski County School Board, they may have records from her teaching days.
