Biography

Mary was born about 1779 (birth year based on husband's birth year).

She married Enos Morley 6 Oct 1805 in Glastonbury. Children:

Edwin b abt 1810 d 1848 CT (from Find a Grave link)

Church records indicate Enos and Mary moved to Stockbridge, MA about 1837. She died after 1840 and before 1856 when her heirs were mentioned in her brother's will. She likely died before 1850 when she is not found with Enos in the 1850 census.

A record for Mary's death appears in the Stockbridge vital records, stating she died, aged 59, on 28 Dec 1843, but it does not say where, and these records include information that links individuals to a variety of places.^[1] For the time being, I will assume she died in Stockbridge. NOTE: this death is not in the index, and was only found as a result of looking for the records of son Martin.

Research Notes

In the probate records of brother Ezekiel Tryon, his heirs were the heirs of: brother Michael Tryon, sister Polly (Mary) Morley, sister Phebe Belden, sister Jemima Patterson. All were deceased by the probate date of 1856.
