Open question: Who were Margaret Ward's parents?

Margaret Ward was born about 1792 in North Carolina, married Jonathan T. Britt in 1813 and lived to at least 1880, when she was 88 and widowed at Maneys Neck, Hertford County. She is buried at the Britt Cemetery near Newsoms, Virginia. Some online trees give her a Ward family of Charleston, South Carolina, but the gravestones show that family's Margaret died as a baby, so we have removed it. Her real parents are unknown.
