Origin

Mary E. Livingston was born in about 1835 in Virginia, the daughter of Henry A Livingston and Mary A Livingston.[1]

The 1850 Census for Johnson, Kentucky found Mary's family. Her father, Henry A. Livingston, was 5[4 or 9] years old, born in Virginia. Her mother, Mary A. Livingston, was 50 years old, born in North Carolina.[1]

  • Mary E. Livingston, 15 y/o
  • Henry R Livingston, 12 y/o

Mary E. Livingston was the wife of Robert D. Strother. Genon has been retained as an alternate last name (reported without documentation).

Research Notes

The 1850 Census for Johnson County, Kentucky found Mary E. Livingston, age 15 born in Virginia with her father, Henry A. Livingston, born in Virginia and mother, Mary A. Livingston, born in North Carolina. Siblings were John H. age 18 and Henry R. both also born in Virginia.[8]

The 1880 Census of Wayne Co., WV, lists the following family members: Strother, R. D. WM 47 Farmer WV WV WV Mary E. WF 45 Wife Keeps House VA VA TN Genora WF 24 Dau Keeps House KY WV VA Dona WF 15 Dau At home VA WV VA L. F. WF 12 Dau At home WV WV VA Bob WM 6 Son WV WV VA Maudie WF 5 Dau WV WV VA[9]

The 1900 Census of Berkeley Springs, Morgan County, West Virginia shows a Mary E. Strother, 67 years old, born November 1832. She was widowed and living alone. She was the mother of two children, one living. Mary was born in West Virginia. Her father was born in West Virginia, and her mother in Pennsylvania. Mary could read and write, and lived in her own house, without a mortgage.[10] This appears to be a different Mary E. Strother than the one reported in the 1880 Wayne County Census, as the birth places of her parents do not match the 1900 Census.
