| Notes for Mary Ann Manley |
| Her grave is marked with a double stone that is inscribed "Mary J. Alfrey", but the 1860, 1880 and 1900 censuses all list her name as Mary Ann or Mary A. The gravestone also has her birthdate as 13 Feb 1840, but the 1900 census says Feb 1841. I should try to find her in the 1850 census as a child. |
