Biography
Mary was born in 1820. She was the daughter of Surry Eaton and Susannah Buffington. She passed away in 1872.
She married Aaron Downing, Steven Hildebrand, James Kesterton, and there may have been one or two others before Hildebrand.
Many accounts say that Surry Eaton was her stepfather and her birth father was Jeffrey Beck, III.
I also saw somewhere that Kesterton had been married to Polly's sister earlier. Or to the sister of Zeke Proctor, the man who killed Polly.
