Margaret Murray Robertson was a Scottishborn teacher and writer.
Margaret was born in Stuartfield, Scotland, the daughter of Reverend James Robertson and Elizabeth Murray. She had a sister Mary and brothers John, Joseph, and Andrew. In 1832 her mother died, whereupon the devout family emigrated to Derby, Vermont. Four years later they moved to Sherbrooke in Quebec. Both Mary and Margaret attended Mount Holyoke Female Seminary in Massachusetts. Afterward, they became instructors at the Sherbrooke Ladies Academy, where Margaret remained until 1865.
