Biography

Mother: Carolyn Tryon

Father: John Borders

Married Walter Atwood (b act 1848, Vernon, Indiana), 1881, Buchanan, Michigan

Note: Death certificate gives alternate birth date 29 Oct 1858.

Note:: Findagrave links Walter with a profile of Mary with very different dates for birth/death. The photograph is very low resolution, and I believe that record to be in error or possibly for another Mary Atwood but mistaken for the one at that grave.

John Borders married Carolyn Tryon 7 May 1854 in Berrien, MI (Michigan, County Marriages, 1822-1940 ; Film Number: 002240459, Ancetry.com). Both are named in Mary Atwood's death certificate. A John Borders appears in the 1850 census Division 10, Berrien, MI aged 34 (b abt 1816), birthplace given as Ohio. He is with a Mary Borders, aged 19, and an infant, Anna M. Borders, aged 0. Given Mary's age, they must have been recently married in 1850. A Mary Borders died in Berrien 14 Jan 1854 (Find a Grave). John Borders is, according to the cemetery records, buried next to her, but there is no headstone now. Unfortunately his death date is unknown.
