If you look a little farther, you will probably find that the man you think is Mary's husband, is her step-son. She was the second wife of Eli Merrell, who was born in NC, probably Buncomb Cty in 1787. His first wife was Nancy McCrary. One of their sons was also named Eli. Mary's husband Eli, died in 1849 in Dallas and is buried in the Merrell Cemetery there. My husband is a descendant of another son of Eli and his first wife.
