Marriage notes |

|
Other names for Mary: Mary Jane White◊, Jane Patterson◊.
Mary was born 28 Sep 1841 in Washington Co., Pennsylvania. She died 30 Dec 1920 in Greensburg, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania. She was buried in Greensburg, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania.
She is also in the group tintype «here».
She appears on the 1850 Federal Census in Nottingham, Washington Co., Pennsylvania and the 1860 Federal Census of North Strabane, Washington Co. with her parents. In the latter she is listed as Jane.
She is difficult to locate on the 1870 Census. Her parents have moved to Greensburg, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania but she is not listed with them. There is a Mary Patterson still back in Washington Co. but, although this census doesn't list the relationship to the head of household, she appears to be married to John Patterson and is about five years too old. There is an unmarried Mary Patterson in South Huntingdon in Westmoreland Co. but she appears in the same location married to a Mr. Markle on the 1880 Census when we've identified our ancestor elsewhere. Probably the best bet is the Mary Patterson found on the 1870 Federal Census of Rostraver, Westmoreland Co. She is about four years too young but she is living in the household of James & Maggie Patterson as a housekeeper. James is the same age as our Mary's brother of that name, whom we have not found elsewhere in the state.
She appears on the 1880 Federal Census, the 1900 Federal Census, the 1910 Federal Census and the 1920 Federal Census in Greensburg with James.
