Mary Ann Stone (1872 - )
is your 3rd great grandmother
daughter of Mary Ann Stone
daughter of Lucinia "Sina Lou" Wilson
daughter of Cordie Vesteen Scott
son of Cordia Elizabeth Phillips
You are the daughter of William Carl Davis JR
I am so confused
about who my 3rd great grandmother Mary Ann Stone Wilson was.
I do know my 3rd
great grandfather, Thomas Lee WILSON, did marry Mary Ann STONE on 18 November
1886 in Webster County Kentucky. As seen

So from this I get
that she was born about 1872 in Kentucky.
I also get that both of her parents were born in Kentucky. I am going to go ahead and check to see if
any Stone families were their neighbors in this census and if they were both
born in Kentucky. There are no Stone's
as immediate neighbors. I am checking
the rest of the Census.
On page 33/46 I
found George Stone born Dec 1849 in Kentucky and it looks like maybe Martha F
born Oct 1851 in Kentucky. The only
other Stone family listed in this Census was Sam Stone but he was only 18. So her parents could possibly be George and
Martha F Stone. George is the conclusion
a lot of people got but there was some issues with other associations made
(which I will get into when I find them again).
Then in 1901 her
husband Thomas Lee Wilson died. Where do
we see her next?

In this Census she
reports as being born in 1870 which is 2 year prior to the birth year she
reported in the 1900 Census. To be 2
years off either way is actually pretty common though, from what I can tell. The husband is different, obviously because
Thomas Lee Wilson died in 1901. It
appears she married another Wilson boy though.
It does appear she took her children from her first marriage with her
over to this marriage (which is what makes me think this is definitely
her). Rebecca A Wilson's (daughter of
Thomas Lee Wilson) reported birth year on the 1900 Census was about 1894 in
Kentucky. Becky Wilson on this census
has a reported birth year of about 1895 in Kentucky (only one year
difference). Ok! I think this is where I was putting too much
stock into what other ancestry.com member trees were saying.
The 1900 Census says
George W Wilson born about 1897 in Kentucky.
Some how I got the George W Wilson was George Bryant Wilson from other
member trees. I double checked the 1900
Census to make sure George's middle initial wasn't misread when archiving the
document digitally. This is not the
case. The middle initial on the 1900
Census is clearly a W. I don't know what
would make people think his middle name is Bryant. So now I am thinking this may not be my Mary
(regardless of popular opinion). When I
clicked on George W Wilson's name on the 1900 Census it recommends viewing many
other Censuses. One of which is a George
Wesley Wilson 1920 census. So I am going
to check it out. His parents are George
L Wilson (1872 Kentucky) and Mary Wilson (1873 Kentucky). So looking at the other member trees for each
of Mary and Thomas' children…There are a lot of people listing Mary as Mary Ann
Elizabeth Stone and some even listing her as Mary Ann Elizabeth
Stone/Harmon. This is where I am having
the biggest issue with the commonly accepted information contained in the other
members' trees. Where did the middle
name Elizabeth come from? Where did the
last name Harmon come from?
Either way: since I
am so unsure of this 1910 Census, I am going to remove it. I will do a new search using only information
known from the marriage record and 1900 Census.
Ok. 3 new hints came up before I got the chance
to remove anything. I see where the
Harmon last name came from. The Mary
Elizabeth who married John Wesley Wilson, her maiden name is Harmon. Her death record says her parents are George
Harmon and Rebecca Holwick. So my Mary is Mary Ann STONE WILSON. The John Wesley's Mary is Mary Elizabeth
HARMON WILSON. Despite their many
similarities…They are not the same person.
Removing all records associated with John Wesley Wilson now.
Ok. That's done.
I had a hint for an 1880 census hinting that her parents may be Jerry and Julia A Stone. Many other member trees say (omitting those
that say Harmon) George Stone and Sarah Angelina Holmes. One says Jeremiah A "Jerry" Stone
and Julia Ann Pressley. As I said before
the only Stone family of proper age in the same census document is George and
Martha F Stone. So All 3 of these are
possibilities.
Well since I have
her children's names I think it would be wisest to try and find out what
happened to the family after Thomas Lee Wilson's death in 1901. Lucinia "Sina Lou" Married my 2nd great grandfather prior to the
next Census so she will not be on it.
However Rebecca A. would have been 16 in 1910 so she might be on there
with Mary and George W would have only been about 13 in the 1910 Census so he
should definitely be on there with Mary.
If I can track these down to a death date it might give me more clues to
who her parents are.
No luck there. Guess I'm going to have to do a tree search
(not relying solely on hints).
So doing only +/-1yr
for her birth the only parents that come up in other member trees is Jeremiah
and Julia. It's only when I change it to
+/-2yr for her birth that George and Sarah come up as well as the middle name
Elizabeth popping back up plus the Harmon name being included with the Stone
name, as well as John Wesley as a second husband. George and Sarah is on Familysearch.org
too. I don't even know where Sarah came
from. I see George and Rebecca Harmon
and on the Census there is George and Martha F.
Stone. So where did Sarah
Angelina Holmes even come from? Nothing
came up any different in my familysearch.org family tree search.
Before I stick with
Jerry and Julia I am going to search for an 1880 census for the other options
to see when their Mary A's were born.
This is where
everyone got George and Sarah from:

This is the right
first and last name but wrong middle initial and the birth year is listed as
1870 instead of 1872 (as reported in 1900) this is possible though, I could see
where people would agree. Both parents report
being born in Kentucky, which agrees with what Mary reported in the 1900
Census. Also this Census happened in
Webster County, KY which lines up with the family.
George and Martha F
could have been George and Mattie B (their the only ones I found in Kentucky in
1880) and they didn't have a Mary.
George and Sarah is
the only George that had a Mary.
So here is Jerry and
Julia's Census:

So the name is right
on this one and the birth year is only 1yr off from what was reported in
1900. The home is in a familial place
(Webster County, KY). The only thing
that concerns me is that Julia (the mother) reports a birth place of Tennessee
which is different than what Mary reported in 1900.
Still the name and
birth year for Mary is more correct so I am going with this. I will put George and Sarah as alternate
possible parents but Jerry and July are going to be preferred. Unless someone can give me proof
otherwise. Proof that doesn't include
the Harmon surname or John Wesley Wilson as a spouse.
I still have no idea
what happened to her after 1900! If
there is an obituary or will for Thomas Lee Wilson I haven't found it. It is the only other thing I can think of
that would provide me with some hints.
Anyone wanna help? I'm starting
to think this is the beginning of a brick wall!
At least I got this much verified.
She is the end of this line on this chart too, then end of my paternal
lines on this chart. So unless I find
some other resources or help I won't be returning to her for a while. I need to work on my maternal lines a bit
now.
