* I have no specific information, but my inability to find anything about Mary beyond the 1870 Census leads me to believe she probably died as a young child. Her mother's 1900 Census record indicates that only 4 of her 5 children are still living. All the others were still alive. The note in fn.4 indicates only 4 of 5 still living. Based on its contents, it appears to have been written about the time of William's death in 1886. I am also skeptical of Mary's birthdate as it is only about three weeks after William and Catherine's marriage. Even a "shotgun" wedding probably would have taken place earlier in the pregnancy than that.
