Ind., Oct 1850, age 49. She and two ch. were boarders, or vice-versa, with Louis and Belle A. Lamb. This should be rechecked, this may well be the Mary and Levi Land of May 27, 1893 affidavit. 1909 - Obit for Mary Ann (Willard) DeLong: (from N. Francis) Mrs. Mary A. DeLong died at the home of her daughter Mrs. Perry Terpin, Logan Avenue, Amherst, (Lorain Co., OH) Monday morning at 4 o'clock, at the age of 77 years, following an extended bout of cancer. The funeral services were held at Brushy Fork at 11:30 a.m. The deceased is survived by two daughters Mrs. Perry Turpin of this city and Mrs. Theodore Lake of Black Hand. There are also three brothers living, Asbury Woolard (sic), George Woolard and David Woolard, and one sister Mrs. Margaret Williard. I assume Asbury might be William A. I do not know if "Mrs. Margaret" was a sister-in-law or perhaps sister Sarah M. Strange that son James Albert is not mentioned. Cedar Hill Cem. records confirms Mary Ann as his mother.
