Mary T 'Polly' Moore was born in either Tennessee or Illinois. Both states are listed as her place of birth in the 1855-1880 census records. She married Thomas Vickers sometime before 1830, probably in Hamilton Co, Illinois.
Because her gravestone has the top part broken off, the gravestone has also been transcribed for her son Thomas with the year of birth being changed to 1840. Her son Thomas not only did NOT died in 1889, but he was NOT buried in Big Hill Cemetery. I have found Thomas and his wife Margery (Sigler) in the 1900, 1910 and 1920 census. Per the Illinois, Deaths and Stillbirths Index, 1916-1947 at ancestry.com, he was born 25 Apr 1840, and died 31 Jul 1925 and is buried in Wolf Creek Cemetery in Saline Co, Illinois.
