She married John Calvin Billingsley on August 4, 1887 in Bluffton, Yell County, Arkansas. Their children not listed below are Florence born abt 1893 in AR, and Arthur born in February, 1895 in Hempstead County, AR.

Mary Susan was an amazing woman. She was twenty-three years old with a two month old baby when her husband was murdered. Four months after that, she bought forty acres, probably the land they were renting at the time, and began working the farm herself. Her brother came to live with her and help with the farm, and her in-laws lived nearby to help also.
