Birth year 1849 is believed correct, given that she is listed in the 1850 census at 1 year. [1794]

As of the 1900 census, Mary reported having never had any children. [5488]
Research
04-OCT-2016: Unable to find Mary’s marriage listed in the Ingham County index at the Clerk of Court’s office (possibly did not look past 1885, so may have missed it on that account).
