Biography

Maria was born about 1849 in Chillicothe, Ross county Ohio, USA, the daughter of Robert Anderson and Eliza Clinch.

It seems that she never married because she died on December 29, 1925 under her maiden name in Washington, D. C. and was buried in United States Military Academy Post Cemetery in West Point, Orange, New York and shares a gravestone with her sister Sophie Anderson, who also never married. ^[1]

Research Notes

At the time of her death, her age was given as 65 which does not match with her age in the 1860 Census.^[3]

Some trees online as well as Wikipedia, claim that she had an illegitimate daughter named Ethel and that her father was Woodbury Blair but other than those secondary sources, I can find no primary sources to support that. (MacKechnie-21 02:29, 11 December 2020 (UTC))
