Mary's mother, Nancy Bolin Stilwell, died 16 May 1903. Mary, who was deaf and mute, and never married, continued to live in their log house to care for her father (my 3x great-grandfather) Thomas. Her father died on 4 Jan 1816. Sadly, Mary died just 14 days later.
Besides the four siblings listed below, my family records state that Mary had a brother, John A., born on 10 Aug 1854 and passed away as an infant. There was a cholera outbreak in Pike County at the time, yet it cannot be confirm that was the cause of his death; however, this outbreak is what convinced Thomas to move his family to the farm in Dubois County, Indiana. It is only assumed that he rests in an unmarked grave in the Stilwell Cemetery. Mary's sister, Sarah, was born on 9 Feb 1856, and was documented in the family Bible. Her death has been researched to be Jul 1863, and it is inferred that she was laid to rest in the Stilwell Cemetery, but no grave marker remains.
