Maria E. Durant (daughter of Thomas Dennis and Thankful Durant) married James Elwood Stubbs on June 29, 1864, in Meadville, Crawford, Pennsylvania. In 1876, he deserted her and a son and moved to Chicago to become quite an eminent physician. Funny thing, though--the son graduated from Allegheny College in 1890, moved to Chicago, became a physician, and made quite a name from himself, too (his mother had been dead for several years).
