Notes

Various sources, including Mary Jane's obituary. her gravestone, various census reports differ on Mary Jane's DoB and DoD. The Find-a-grave memorial, another Wikitree genealogist, and my own research strongly support the DoB as June 17, 1848 and DoD of April 12, 1923. petersen-1298

Family Search shows this person connected to Willard Coleman 1822–1876 • LDMD-NDJ. The connection seems possible, but not certain.
