Mary was born to parents; John Ellis Chaffin and Sarah Lavonia Crist Chaffin.
Mary would have been the G-G-Granddaughter of Elder John Parker killed in the Fort Parker Massacre on May 19, 1836.
And the G-Granddaughter of Elder Daniel Parker who brought the first Predistanarian Primitive Baptist Church to Texas in 1834 and settled in what is now Anderson County, (then Houston Co).
Mary's parents were very well off. They owned a lot of land and lived well.
Mary first married; William J. Hutto He died in 1874.
if she indeed married him as her daughter Araminta McClellan Taulman states in a 1905 writing, then she had to been very young. Can't find marriage license, but if she married him in 1874, she would have been only 15, and then a widow at 15. I can't see how she could have married him any younger.
Mary married; James W. McClellan 22nd day of July, 1875. This means she was only 16 when married her second husband. According to her daughter again.
At one time I guess they lived in Ranger, Eastland, Texas, because some of their children show to be born there.
Children born to them;
1900: Prairie Hill and Mount Antioch, Limestone, Texas
Mildred Livonie McClellan m. E.E. Roach
Araminta McClellan m. Joseph Edwin Taulman
Ada McClellan m. Herbert R. Twadell
Samuel J. MCclellan
Sarah "Sallie" McClellan
John Archeleus "Archie" McClellan
Daniel Crist McClellan d. at 16, with Spinal Meningitis.
I believe after their parents death Mildred, Ada and Sarah all went to Los Angeles, Calif.
I found all three sisters there. 1920's
