Mary apparently was originally named Mahala, after her grandmother. Although faint, a later correction to the name Mary Hazel, made by her aunt, appears in the birth register. Mary was also called Mahala in the 1880 census, when she lived in her parents' household in Marion County. 1880 U.S. Census, Marion County, West Virginia, population schedule, Pawpaw District, enumeration district 92, stamped page 507C, sheet 27, dwelling 211, family 220, Wm.
