Mary was the daughter of James Harrison Simpkins III and Sarah Ann Hall. She married George Washington Baker 18 Mar 1872 in Christiansburg, Virginia.

Together they had six children. There are no death records for either George or Mary, however a Simpkins relative indicated that a another Simpkins relative had them noted as dying in a house fire in March of 1895. This would make sense, as their last record is the 1880 census. The 1890 census was mostly destroyed, and they do not appear on the 1900 census. It would also explain no burial records.

Her mother, Sarah Ann Hall, was the Granddaughter of Asa Hall who served in the New York Militia during the Revolutionary War. Asa Hall was born in Rhode Island, and later with his brother to Montgomery County, Virginia, where he began his Hall family, and is buried.
