Mary (Unknown) Thomas is a part of US Black heritage.
Mary was born about October 1813 in New York as calculated from her cemetery marker.[1] She appears to have passed away in 1875 as the following newspaper clipping was posted on Ancestry.com. Unfortunately, the name of the newspaper was not included to check the source:
Died of inflammation of the bowels, near Vermontville, N. Y., March 31, 1875, Sr. Thomas, wife of Bro. John Thomas, in the 62nd year of her age. She, with her entire family was among the first to embrace the truth in that vicinity and remained firm in her adherence to it to the last. During her last sickness, which was brief, she expressed strong faith in God, and her friends feel that her flesh rests in hope.
She died 31 March 1875 and was buried in Union Cemetery, Vermontville, Franklin County, New York.[1]
