We just located a 1900 census for her so her death date would have been after 1900 in Carroll County, TN. It had her birth month of June.

14 Apr 2013 UPDATE:

"I do not know much of this line of the Downings, but I was given a death date for Mary of Feb 5, 1933. This info was given to me by another Downing cousin, Janice Downing Knight. At least it's something to work with.

Your distant Downing cousin,

Debi Morris

Cleveland, OH"

Thank you, Debi! We each hold parts of the whole and together we weave our family tapestries! ;O) We need to contribute to adding her death year on this headstone.

She was living with a "Marvin/Mammie [a son, corrected on the census to be "Mamie"] and Florence Downing."

As I am piecing this family together here is her spouse and children, so far:

Spouse & Children

William "Will" Alexander Downing, Civil War, 1842 – 1893

James Downing, 1863 –

Judith "Judy" Downing, 1866 –

Nancy Downing, 1869 –

William Downing, 1872 –

John Downing, 1874 –

Marvin/Mamie Downing, 1881 –

Florence Downing, 1883 –

As I work the children I will include the death dates. Any family help with their dates would be appreciated.

Somewhere between 1880-1893 the family moved to TN. Does anybody know why?
