Biography
Mary was born before 1754
She Married George Key in 1782 and had four children:
Dabney Center Key, b. 1774, d. 1855 in Lawrence Co., AL
Tandy Center Key, b. 15 Sep 1776 in VA, d. 25 Sep 1838 in Russell Co., AL
Stephen Center Key, b. 1780, d. in Mississippi
Elizabeth Center Key. b. 1781
Note that all these children were born before their parents were married, and so could have been originally illegitimate, adopted, or from a previous marriage[1].

Since Volume 21 of the American Genealogical Biographical Index makes no reference to this individual as being Stephen's mother, this has created some confusion, and I was wondering if a link to the source could be provided. Thanks.
