Mary Marie (nee) Chronic Woodson, Research Report, the As It Is Series

Copyright 2022, CABS for Reflections From the Fence

This continues a series of posts, done in a very efficient (make that speedy fast) manner to share some research on the ancestors.  This is NOT intended to be the end all to end all report.  It's a work in progress, to show you what I have found, right or wrong. Kind feedback is welcomed via comments.

Let's begin 

Meet - - Mary Marie (nee) Chronic Woodson.


It is painfully obvious that I know very little about Mary.  I have been unable to discover a marriage record for her online.  I have discovered nothing more than the name of her husband, either.

Here is the only record of her birth I have found, and frankly, it is "presumed" this is her birth record, we all know how shaky that makes us feel as researchers.

There is a death certificate, which reveals a sad cause of death.  I always am sad to see this, yes, I often wonder about the cause of the infection.  My conclusions are horrible.


I have not found to date any obituary for Mary, either at GenealogyBank or Newspapers dot com.

She does have a memorial at Find A Grave, no photo of any headstone, see memorial number 213855132.



* Disclaimers, I use Find A Grave, Ancestry dot com, FamilySearch, several newspaper subscriptions, free sites, such as Virginia Chronicles, Virginia Chancery Cases online at the Library of Virginia and more to research my ancestors.  I pay for subscriptions, full price.

** My judgements may or may not be correct.  Transcriptions may or may not have errors.

*** Links, URL's, for the most part will not be included henceforth on my posts, as so many of them change and then I have to come back and try to re-discover and relink.  Frankly folks, I have no desire to spend my limited time here on this side of the sod with those kinds of do overs.  As researchers, or just members of the internet community, sites such as Find A Grave are easy to find, some are free to use and with the information I am sharing with you, hopefully, you can duplicate the research/findings. That said, I have seen memorials at Find A Grave be removed.  If you have questions, I suggest you leave a nice comment for me. OR find the method I have outlined on my blog for contacting me.

**** I hope the usual happens, within hours, sometimes minutes, I do another search and something shows up.  Well, I can hope.
