Mary's birth date is calculated from her age at death as given in her gravestone inscription. She married Jacob Blackwell on 14 Apr. 1814 in old Hunterdon Co., NJ. She joined the Hopewell Baptist Church in 1818. The church records as published give her death date as 21 Feb. 1832; however, her gravestone gives her death date as 19 Jan. Perhaps she was buried 21 Jan., and the month Feb. is in error in the published records. She died in Hopewell Twp., old Hunterdon (now Mercer) Co., NJ.
