Mary married John R Porter on 28 December 1858 in Talladega, Alabama, United States.[3]
In the 1860 census Mary (age 18) was in Southern Division, Talladega, Alabama, United States.[4]
About 1869, she married Creed Clayton.[5]
In the 1870 census Mary (age 27) was in Election Precinct 4 Poplar Springs, Tallapoosa, Alabama, United States.[6]
In the 1880 census Mary (age 38), Keeping House, was the wife of Creed Clayton in DeKalb, Alabama, United States.[7]

Research Notes
Mary's son Olney Wheeler Clayton died in 1931 in Fort Payne, DeKalb, Alabama, United States.[9]
Martha's son Archie Leonard Clayton died in 1946 in Fort Payne, DeKalb, Alabama, United States.[10]
Mary's son De Banner Marcus Clayton died in 1959 in Birmingham, Jefferson, Alabama, United States.[11]
What source(s) do we have for her middle name(s)? J or Jane seems pretty well documented. "Elizabeth" seems to only be mentioned in the death record of her son in 1959, decades after Jane's death.
