Biography

Mary was born about 1828. She is the daughter of Gardner Tryon and Catharine Brown.

Research Notes

A Gardner Barnhart died in Indianapolis in 1924. On his death certificate his mother is listed as Mary Troun or Trown (it looks like). Father is Henry Barnhart. But the name Gardner is so unusual it is worth pursuing this possible link backwards to see if his mother is Mary Jane Tryon.[1]

James Henry Barnhart married Mary Tryon on 30 Oct 1847 in Dearborn, Indiana.[2][3] James appears with his wife Mary in the 1850 census, where Mary is listed as Mary J. Barnhart aged 21 born Indiana, with two children Gardner Barnhart aged 2 and Sylvia aged 10 months.[4] Children listed in familysearch.org for this couple are:

Gardner Barnhart,
Sylvia Ann Barnhart,
Eliza Jane Barnhart,
Sarah E. Barnhart,
Mary J. Barnhart,
Nancy A. Barnhart

James Henry married a second time, suggesting that Mary J, his wife, died some time around 1854/5. Given that these children were actually hers, she gave birth at a fairly ferocious rate: six children in the seven years between 1848 - 1855, which could explain her death (another childbirth? last one gone wrong?).

It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary by comparing test results with other carriers of her ancestors' mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Mary:

I've entered what I've found about marriage of James Henry Barnhart and Mary J. Tryon. She is the right age -- do you think this is enough? She would not have been mentioned in the will for Gardner Tryon as she was deceased by then as her husband had remarried late 1855. But there would be grandchildren with surname Barnhart and that would clinch it. I checked the will and the wording is a bit strange but says: "& after her decease heirs of our oldest daughter Mary Jane shall receive of my estate the sum of $10.00". Unfortunately no surname! I wonder if other probate papers (apparently not available online) would include the name(s) of the heirs of Mary Jane.
