It is believed that she was buried here, next to her husband. Her gravestone may have since sunk into the ground.
She married her husband, John A. Back, around 1841. Her brother Samuel H. Swaim, married her husband's sister, Elizabeth Pence Back, on 11-15-1841. It may have been a double wedding. In fact, Samuel H. Swaim was a witness to John A. Back's will.
In her husband's will (written 5-4-1881, and probated 6-6-1881, Will Record Book #C, p. 105-106, in Huntington County, Indiana), he named her as his wife, and the following children:
Sarah Jane Back
Melinda Ann (Back) Brawley
Nancy Elizabeth (Back) Farr (she married William H. Farr on 2-3-1866)
Loretta Carolina Back
John left $500 to each of those children. His other surviving child was Arthur Palmer Back, but he did not leave him any money, probably because he was already financially stable.
John and Mary had several children who had died young, before he wrote his will:
Eldon Back, died 1853
Nelson S. Back, died 1855
Daniel A. Back, died 1860
Julia A. Back, died 1863
Harry Back, died 1863
Henry M. Back, died 1865
