Biography

Mary was likely born in New Brunswick or Lower Canada. Her parents were Empire Loyalists. Her father died the year after they reached York (Toronto) when Mary was only 10. Her mother eventually remarried and moved just north of York to New Market. Mary and her siblings became well established in York and became prominent members of the Family Compact, the ruling elite of the time.

The marriage license for the marriage of Mary to Stephen Heward was issued the same day as the license for the marriage of her step sister Sophia Beman to Ely Player. Both couples were married the next day.

Children: Charles Robinson Heward 1807–1834, Henry Christopher Heward 1809–1841, Francis Harris Heward 1811–1880, William Beverley Heward, 1814–1890, Peter Hern Heward 1817–1844, Mary Ann Heward 1818–1835, John O'Brien Heward 1821–1890, Heward 1822–1822, Augustus Nathan Heward 1824–1866, Stephen Heward 1826–1881.
