Biography

Mary was from Society Hill, Darlington Co. SC

For many, many years the family listed Mary's maiden name as "Tandy"; but (with the advent of digital records), 5 of her children have her name as "Gandy" on their Louisiana death certificates.

In 1850, she and husband, Jesse Maxey, were living 2 households away from Abijah Gandy (age 56) and wife, Susannah (age 50); both from South Carolina. AND, the Maxeys named a son, Abijah, and a daughter, Susan.

Mary wed Jesse Maxey (probably in Alabama) around 1842. In 1850 they are living in Wayne county, Mississippi. In 1860 they are living in Covington county, Mississippi. In 1870 Mary lists herself as a widow living in Jasper county, Mississippi. She died in Union county, Louisiana after following her children to that state.[1]
