Mary's maiden name can also be found spelled Ferris or Phares. Finding documentation that satisfactorily answers which spelling is accurate can be difficult in that bio's are often written far after the event.

Inscription:
Sacred
To the memory of Mary Henderson
Relict of Rev. Matthew Henderson Dec'd Who departed this life 25 September A.D. 1822 Aged 71 years

According to the Findley Genealogy by Mrs. Robert A Hughes, published in 1967 Mary Ferris was born in Scotland, in 1742. She married Rev. Matthew Henderson, in 1758. She died Sept. 25, 1822, in Cannonsburg, Washington County, Pennsylvania.

This is questionable due to the inscription on her gravestone which says she was 71yrs old and died in 1822 which would put her birthyear about 1751. Her age given at death may be inaccurate, but again it's difficult without other documentation that provides proof to determine accurate information.

Please note: Generally family histories are not only written long after the fact, they contain no documentation or proof. It may very well be correct but the source of the proof has not been given.
