Direct Line Ancestor Mary Drusilla Northrup
b. 23 February 1835, d. after November 1916
Last Edited=26 Jun 2004

     Mary Drusilla Northrup was born on 23 February 1835 in New York.1,2,3 She was the daughter of Theodorus Bailey Northrup and Sally Ann Pratt.4 Mary's maternal grandmother's name was Drusilla Loveland, I wonder if Mary Drusilla was named after her.
          Mary married George Quiggle on 13 July 1856 in Shelbyville, Blue Earth County, Minnesota. He was 23 and she was 21.1 Mary and George had 6 children. These children are Hester Elizabeth, Alexander K., William T., Alexander A., John E. and George E..1,4 Sometime between 1860 and 1865, George and Mary moved to Hardin County, Iowa. George died on 22 February 1869, leaving Mary a widow.1 Her son, George, was reportedly born 8 months after her husband died.
          Mary, age 35, was enumerated on the 1870 Federal Census in Eldora, Hardin County, Iowa. Also enumerated in her household were her children: Hester (age 13), William (age 10), Alexander (age 5), and George (age 11 months). Mary's occupation is given as keeping house. There is an arrow from Alexander pointing to a neighbor's house. Is he living next door? Another son, John E. has died before the taking of the census. The real estate is valued at $1000 and her personal estate is valued at $100.5
          Mary, age 45, was enumerated on the 1880 Federal Census in Alcona, Rooks County, Kansas. Also enumerated in her household were two of her children, William (age 21) and George (age 10). Mary's occupation is given as "keeping house." Her son, George, works as a farmer.6
          Mary married Jonas Alfred Burgess in Alcona, Wilson County, Kansas. It is her second marriage.7 Jonas died circa 1916, leaving Mary a widow.8 Mary applied for a widow's military pension on 23 November 1916. She filed from Washington State. The date might be 1906 but it looks closer to 1916.8 Jonas Alfred Burgess index listing for file number #830981 & 938495 Mary died after November 1916.8
