It is quite apparent that @Marie Antoinette Hay (born 1790), married to @Samuel Ringgold, could not be the daughter of @Eliza K. Monroe (born 1786).
@Marie Antoinette Hay must have been born of George Hay's first wife (born earlier than 1775 or so).
I have found the following citation:
"The following is from Tyler's Quarterly, vol. VIII, No. 4:
Anthony Hay married second Elizabeth, daughter of Joseph Davenport, first town clerk of Williamsburg, and had four children:
Joseph, b July 29, 1759
George, b Dec. 15, 1765, celebrated lawyer who prosecuted Aaron Burr
Anthony b November 26, 1767 (Bruton Parish register)
Charles
George Hay [son of Anthony] married twice. First wife unknown by whom he had two children: Marie Antoinette, who married General Samuel Ringgold, US Army and [a second whose name I cannot read--LD. It looks like Fayettem.]
George Hay married secondly Elizabeth Monroe, born 1787, and had one child Hortense, who married Nicholas Lloyd Rogers, of Baltimore
Virginia, who married John Rose Key
Rebecca who married Dr. Hay of Chicago
Charles, (Henson, Old Dent p 67). Charles left one son, Walter Hay."
I have not read more of "Tyler's Quarterly", but I would appreciate any other opinion or any other resource to explain who Marie Antoinette's mother might be. Thank you in advance.
Then, we shall need cooperation of certain managers to correct this tree.

Hi. Thanks for the research on this matter. It is always confusing with two or more wives. ( I had two myself!)
I do not have any special knowledge of this family. My interest comes from the Rogers line of Baltimore and that is it. So if you want to propose any changes, based on good research, I will accept any changes if I am listed as a manager on the profile.
Some of the info from newspapers can be invalid so I would look for more traditional genealogical sources before making any changes. Someone else is bound to find some and then further re work would be required.

Dan, thank you for your response. I agree with your comment regarding sources, as I have personally found inaccurate citations in books, magazines and even family bibles. Trust but verify, eh?
Margaret, thank you for the revision made. I'll continue to find the answer with whatever resources can be found.
Best wishes,
Dick
