Birth: 1 Jan 1810, Monroe County, Tennessee, United States
Death: 25 Nov 1862, Lawrence County, Missouri, United States
The source for Mary Moore McCray Buck's birth date of 1 January 1810 is unknown. Researcher and descendant Ann Brashears [1] may have been using information from a headstone that no longer exists; Ann has passed away since sharing this information, but she did comment on having information from now-missing headstones. However, sister Beersheeba McCray has a purported birth date late in the month, so at least one of these dates is in error.
According to daughter Sciote Caroline's death certificate, Mary was born in Monroe County in Tennessee. [2]

Paternal and Maternal relationships are both confident based on a triangulated group on MyHeritageDNA who share a 31.2 cM segment on chromosome 1, consisting of J Simonds and CG, their 4th cousin 1x removed, and BLC, their 3rd cousin 1x removed. (CG and BLC are 5th cousins.) These matches have been independently verified by via the MyHeritage Chromosome Browser. Their most-recent common ancestors are Thomas McCray and Jane Moore, the 3x great grandparents of J Simonds and 4x great grandparents of both CG and BLC.

It may be possible to confirm family relationships.

Please note that the DNA statement provided by the DNA confirmation citation maker indicated that paternal and maternal relationships are "confident" not "confirmed with DNA". This is because a triangulation cannot be used to confirm back to the final MRCAs. I've changed both relationships to 'confident'. Let me know if you have questions, or don't understand. Thanks!
