On February 9, 1867, at the LDS Endowment House in Salt Lake City she married James Burrup, an English Mormon convert and widower of Ogden, Utah, who had five young children of his own. Mary's son William took on the surname Burrup for a few years (for example, the 1880 Marsh Valley, Idaho, U. S. census record entry), but it was a confusing situation, because he had a younger step-brother by the same name (William Burrup, 1861-1924) who also lived in Marsh Valley. Sometime after the 1880 U. S. census enumeration, Mary's son William changed his surname back to Clegg.
Mary served as mother to her son and five step-children: Mary Ann Burrup (md. George E. Hellewell), Jeannetta Burrup (md. Samuel Henry Delamater (later divorced) and then Ferdinand W. Cobabe), James Burrup, Jr. (md. Julia Hellewell and later divorced), William Burrup (md. Hannah Maria Byington), and John Burrup (md. Mary Elizabeth Quigley (who died after a year of marriage) and then Elsie Emergene Shurtliff).
James and Mary moved from Ogden to Marsh Valley (near Downey), Idaho, around 1877 to establish a cattle ranch for the family members to operate on a share basis. They belonged to the Marsh Valley LDS Ward, and the ward's Relief Society minutes record Mary's participation and activities.
James and Mary maintained their Ogden brick home that was located on the east side of Washington Boulevard between 25th and 26th streets. They apparently moved back to Ogden around 1883. James died on March 15, 1888, in Ogden and was buried in the Ogden Cemetery.
Mary lived in the Burrups' Ogden home for a few years after James's death, but she later sold the prime location property to a business and moved to a small home at 163 30th Street in Ogden.
Mary died on March 21, 1923, at her home. Her funeral was held in the Ogden LDS 11th Ward, and then her body was transported to the Salt Lake City Cemetery for burial. The index to cemetery records there mistakenly recorded her name as Burnup instead of Burrup.
