Mary Sisk was born in 1810 in Cocke County, Tenn., the youngest child of Bartlett Sisk and Mary Campbell. She is often overlooked in genealogy research, perhaps because she died relatively young, age 39, and her remaining immediate family moved to Texas.
Mary is not listed among siblings on her father's grave memorial.
In 1832, Mary married Thomas Mantooth. Their children were Albert, Eveline, John and Calvin. Their father took them by covered wagon to Angelina County, Texas, in the mid 1850s.
Thomas and Mary's daughter Eveline, born in 1832, married Austin Vinson in 1850 in Cocke County. He was 20 and she was 18. In 1860 (census data) they and their children were living in Homer, Texas. Their children Calvin, Jane and Andrew were born in Cocke County. Reece, Lydia, Austin Jr. and Ella were born in Texas. (Lydia married Ike Thompson. Reed Thompson was a son. After Lydia's early death, Ike remarried.) Austin died in 1869, at age 39. Eveline died in 1893 in Lufkin, Texas, at age 61.
After Mary (Sisk) Mantooth died in 1849, Thomas married Lydia Dillon (sister of Cindy Dillon, wife of James Hardin Bryant). Thomas, Lydia and his children moved to Texas,where additional children were born. Thomas, Lydia and 11-year-old daughter Lucinda all died on the same date, July 28, 1865, in Angelina, Texas, from poison administered as medicine by a quack doctor.
Mary is referenced in a book that features prominent early Texans, as part of a biography of Judge James Edwin Mantooth, son of Thomas and Lydia Mantooth.
Mary does not have an identifiable grave marker. At the time of her burial, graves in the Bryant & Sisk Cemetery were marked with field stones.
