Notes:

From Phyliss McMaster, "James Jerome THOMPSON," p. 2-3:
	Mary A. was first seen in the 1860 census records listed as being 5 years old and living with J. W. FISHER, 50, and his wife, Sallie, 47, who, it was discovered, were her grandparents. They lived next door to Lucinda McCauley, Mary Ann's step-grandmother, the mother of her step-mother, Mary Jane McCauley. This was in the Spring Creek area of Madison County. Meanwhile, Mary Ann's father and step-mother were in Henderson County just over the county line and most likely on the McCauley farm, since Lucinda's husband had recently died. In 1870, we find Mary A. THOMPSON living with her step-grandmother McCauley, in DeView Twp., Woodruff County. Mary A. was listed as being 15 years old. But she and her brother, apparently returned, along with their Uncle Hugh to Madison County, for on November 4, 1871, Mary Ann Thompson married in Madison County, Andrew H. CLARK(E). Although Mary Ann was barely 16 years old, she must have been the Mary Ann who md. Mr. CLARK for dates of of her birth as given in the family's records coincide with those given in cemetery records, listing her as Mollie A. CLARK, wife of A. H. CLARK. She and her husband are buried in the Pleasant Hill Cemetery. Apparently, although named Mary, she went by the name of Mollie, which was a common occurrence in those days.
