Mary and Nelson were paternal first cousins, with nelson being 28 and Mary 18 at the time of their marriage, which was noted as the first for both of them. nelson and Mary appeared to have separated shortly after Louisa's birth as Nelson moved to West Virginia and remarried there, while Mary stayed with Louisa in Kentucky and moved back into her parents home for some time (as evidenced by the 1860 census). In 1864. Mary then remarried George Chapman Wooten, also a distant relative. Louisa joined them in their new household and remained with them after they had additional children.
