Although some death certificates of her children state that Mary's maiden name was Dickson or Dixon, there is nothing else to corroborate this and it may have simply been that they did not remember. Another death certificate, that of her daughter, Mary Frances Bond-Trice, states that Mary's maiden name was, in fact, Beaver. Further demonstrating that her maiden name was Beaver, the 1850 census has her within the family of Carroll Beaver, and her brother, Thomas, is also listed. Later, the 1870 Census has, within the household of George W. Bond and herself, along with her children, a boarder, Thomas Beaver, who was, again, her brother. There is simply no real reason to suggest any relationship with the Beaver family other than that she was brought up within that household. In addition, as far as I can tell, there are no Dickson/Dixon families listed in Tennessee that she could have come from. So, she was either given the name of some family friend/relative, or she was adopted. But, she still belongs to this Beaver family in any case.
After George's death, Mary resided with her daughter Kittie and Kittie's husband, Robert Cochran, at least as early as 1900. The 1900 census of Chester County shows Mary D. and Jennie Bond residing in the same household together. They are neighbors to Robert and "Kissie" Cochran, who had children, Eunice W. and Wilburn. Five children of Mary Bond still lived in 1900, according to the census.
Her husband, George W. Bond, deeded 90 acres of land to his wife, Mary, shortly prior to his death in 1897. As no other records have been found, it seems clear that this was his total property. Why he did not, apparently, make a will and further divide his property among his children is unknown. However, the following will make it clear that his total property was passed eventually down to his youngest daughter, and then back to his wife, who sold all of it except for two acres, which she kept. From Chester County, Tennessee Deed Book 8, p. 173:

On November 18, 1902 (Chester County, Tennessee Deed Book 10, p. 498) R. B. Cochran and wife Kizie Cochran deeded Mary A. D. Bond (referred to as her mother in document) 90 acres of land that was clearly the land that George had deeded to Mary in 1897. So, again, during the intervening years Mary had deeded said land to the Cochrans who in turn deeded it back to her in order to be released from further obligation to her.
On April 18, 1903 (Chester County, Tennessee Deed Book 11, p. 36) Mary A. D. Bond initiated a warranty deed to P. B. Bland for 88 acres of land in the 4th Civil District of Chester County. This property was obviously the same property conveyed to her in the previous year by her daughter and son-in-law, minus two acres which she kept. She signed this document only by marking an "x", but the name read "Mrs. A. D. Bond". However, within the document her name was consistently indicated as "Mrs. Mary A. D. Bond."
The children of George W. and Mary Bond, all of whom were born in Tennessee, were Ella (b. c1862), Sarah Elizabeth "Bettie" (November 14, 1865-April 20, 1938), Lanora A. (1869-1874), Mary Frances (Nov. 2, 1871-Sept. 15, 1970), Keziah "Kittie/Kizzie" (b. November 1872), George H. (November 17, 1874-August 22, 1875), Lida "Lula" W (Dec. 30, 1879-March 28, 1954), and Jennie (Aug. 3, 1884-Nov. 28, 1968).
Kittie Bond married Robert P. Cochran. They moved to Vardeman, Mississippi. Lida Bond married an Estes. They resided in Humboldt, Tennessee. Fannie Bond married a Trice. They moved to Dallas, Texas. And her daughter, Jimmy Lee Bond Forbus, moved to Brownfield, Texas. It seems obvious that Mary moved to Texas along with one of her two youngest daughters and their families, shortly prior to her death.
Mary herself died on February 22, 1904, in Abilene, Texas, at the age of 56. The Mary A. Dixon, who died in Iowa in 1904, is clearly NOT her, although some have confused the two, especially on ancestry.
After George's death, Mary resided with her daughter Kittie and Kittie's husband, Robert Cochran, at least as early as 1900. The 1900 census of Chester County shows Mary D. and Jennie Bond residing in the same household together. They are neighbors to Robert and "Kissie" Cochran, who had children, Eunice W. and Wilburn.
