Notes |
- Family history has it that during the American Civil War, Mary's husband Morgan Ingram, was a captain in the Union Army. One day Union soldiers came to Samuel (Stansberry) Stanborough's farmstead in Newton County, Missouri, arrested poor Samuel and took him away. He was never seen or heard from again. Not long after, Mary and her husband Morgan were awarded all of Samuel's land and property by the Union government. Mary is buried in the Van Buren Cemetery, nearly in the ditch, just off the two lane dirt and gravel Unicorn Road, directly across from the old Stanborough farmstead. Mary is the only person buried on that row in Van Buren Cemetery. No other family member has ever wanted to be buried on the same row with Mary.
