The 1900 US Census record for Columbia, Richland, SC enumerates her as Maria J and state that she and Edwin had been married for 26 years. It appears that she never gave birth but had an adopted son, George Edwin Newcomer. All were born in SC.
Per South Carolina Deaths 1944-1955, a collection found on FamilySearch.org, George's parents were Edwin Newcomer and Janie Mixon. Conflict: her obituary gives her brother's last name as Saxon. However, the memorial for Mrs. C. E. Martin (Charity Elvira Martin) gives her maiden name as Mixon. Please email me if you know who her parents were.
