Individual Details

Mary "Polly" Wilson

(Abt 1837 - )



Possibly Mary's marriage record but I have found no confirmation - she would have been about age 22:
William Stoups married Mary Wilson, 28 Mar 1859, St. Louis, MO
[St. Louis, Mo Marriages, 1804-76 - database on Ancestry.com]

A database on RootsWeb's WorldConnect, has this William Stoops as married to a Mary Ann Wilson who was the daughter of David Wilson & Ann Vineyard, b. 13 Jan 1831 in Virginia. However; the daughter of David doesn't match any of the censuses in age. There is a question about his wife in 1880 - the age matches neither possibility. This database has also assumed the wrong age for William Stoops, and his age is quite consistent in the census records.
