     Mary and James appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of Fredonia, Caldwell Co., Kentucky, enumerated 9 Aug 1860, reporting real estate valued at $10,700 and personal estate of $11,200. Their children Warren, Fuller, Carrie and Herbert were listed as living with them, as were Jacob and John Myers, age 3 and 4 months, respectively, who appear to be the two youngest children of Dr. F. C. and Louiza Myers, the family listed previously in the record. There are also eight slaves listed, ranging in age from 3 to 75.12,13
     Mary and James moved to Illinois between 1864 and 1870.

     Mary and James moved to Alabama after 1880. Their sons and daughter Nellie also moved there. It seems most likely that at least some of their sons moved there first and the parents and younger children followed.
     Her husband died on 2 Feb 1884.16
     Mary appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Wattensas,later known as Wattensaw, Prairie Co., Arkansas, in the household of her son Warren. Her son Herbert and daughter Nellie were also listed in the household.17
