Came to this county when eight years old (undated obituary from a scrapbook collection containing many death notices in the Millerton Advocate newspaper, mainly in the 1890's).
Above obituary in error which did not account for children who died young.
Some family records indicate her name was Mary Ann and others as Mary Catherine. The memorial markers for her three children who died young have her initials as "P. C." which would indicate Polly Catherine, Polly the common nickname for Mary.
