Notes - In 1820 Census and 1830 Census, Mary's family was found in Russellville, Logan, Kentucky; leading to birthplace conclusion and she would have been 4 years old for first census.
Found in 1850, 1860 and 1870 US Federal Census with husband Robert Williams and children.
1850 Census shows her age at 29, making birthdate in 1821 in Kentucky, but this is contradicted by the 1860 census showing her a birthdate of 1815. Other factors confirm this.
