Mary was born in Chester County, South Carolina in 1840. She was the daughter of Henry Lee and Mary Rebecca Roper[1] She married John James Ryan Workman after 1855. The 1880 census taken in Catawba in York County, South Carolina lists their family members:[2]
The 1880 census doesn't list a son, Lindsey Workman, who was born in 1860 but died as a child nor a son, Francis Marion Workman, who was born in 1867 and died in 1878, at age 11. There is a possibility of another son, Arthur G. Lee, born around 1876, and it's possible that he also died as a child.
Her husband died in 1896. Mary passed away in 1922 and was buried at Laurelwood Cemetery in Rock Hill, South Carolina. [3][4]
