Mary Seal b. VA married James A. Cunningham, b. OH in Greene County, Ohio in 1849.(1) Mary's parents, William and Elizabeth Seal, are documented with their other children in Greene County, Ohio in the 1850 US Census.(2) James b. OH and Mary b. VA can be found residing in Timber Hill, Bourbon County, Kansas in the 1880 US Census, where his birthplace is listed as Ohio, his father's birthplace as Ohio, and his mother's birthplace listed as Virginia. In this same census, Mary's birthplace is listed as Virginia, and both her parents also as Virginia.(3) In the 1900 US Census, John Cunningham can be found residing in the home of his daughter and son-in-law, Edward and Mary Coykendall, in Mill Creek Township, Bourbon County, Kansas.(4) Note that daughter Mary's birthplace is recorded as Ohio, her father's birthplace as Ohio, and her mother's birthplace as Virginia. This is consistent with Mary Seal, b. Virginia and John Cunningham, b. Ohio. The two sons that are linked to John and Mary Cunningham are probably the sons of John of South Carolina and Mary Hampton, his wife, who were married in Tennessee, but this couple in the graveyard in Bourbon County, Kansas does not appear to be the fellow from South Carolina, who is probably interred in Tennessee, and Mary Coykendall is not the daughter of John of South Carolina and Mary Hampton, but is indeed the daughter of the couple in the Bourbon County Kansas graveyard, who are John Cunningham and Mary Seal. Thank you for kindly reviewing the documentation provided.
