Research Notes
I am unable to find any more definitive sources or info for Mary after the 1890 Veterans schedule. There are conflicting death dates of 1899 and 1938 on different online family trees, but I am unable to find her death certificate to verify either of these. She also apparently married Reese Hawkins Long in 1867, but I am unable to verify this either. Further research is needed.
