Very little is known about Margaret. Her burial record, that shows her as Margarit Pontous, appears to be the first recorded death of the Great Plague of London.
The Great Plague of London has long been thought to have been the Bubonic Plague, although some researchers now believe it might have actually been a combination of several pandemics, maybe including Ebola. At least tens of thousands died in the Great Plague of London, and maybe more than a hundred thousand died.
Margaret is buried at St Paul's, Convent Garden, London, England. This church was completed in 1633, just 31 years before the Great Plague of London.
