Mary Wife of Isaac Conyers Died Oct. 24, 1857
I always hate seeing women’s headstones that just list her as the wife of some dude. I searched Ancestry.com for to see if I could figure out her maiden name, but all I turned up were unsourced public trees, some of which have impossible information. As in, several people have attached my Findagrave record to their trees for a Mary M. Tharp. There was a Mary M. Tharp who married an Isaac Conyers in Indiana, but that marriage occurred after this Mary died.
And then someone requested that I update the Findagrave record with information that I thought was suspect. I declined. So I guess they complained and had the information added by someone at Findagrave. I have no reason to believe her maiden name was Burton, or that these linked folks are her family. As far as I can tell, the Mary Burton who married Isaac Conyers lived and died in Bath County, Kentucky in 1868.
