For Mary Ann's date of birth, Foxall-McKenney Family Bible, courtesy of Ann Coulthurst. Foxall wrote in the family Bible that Mary Ann was born in Ireland, but did not say where in Ireland. Mary Ann told her children she was born in Carrick-on-Shannon, which was the largest town near Arigna and center of a Protestant community.

Inscription
Our
mother
[drape]
MARY ANN McKENNEY
Wife of
Samuel McKenney
Died August 23rd 1856
Aged 63.
The grave of a meek and quiet
Spirit and the daily exhibition of
that Charity portrayed and eulogized by
the Apostle.
Cor. XIII, Chap. Ver. 1.
The [illegible] of her life.
Her faith and Hope disarmed Death
of his terrors, and her passing away
was as the sweet sleep of infancy.
Beneath this stone her mortal habiliments dissolve and mingle
with their kindred earth, but
her spirit dwells in Heaven
Where Christ is there she is also.
