A Wilson Family Tree
Notes for Mary Wood (Mollie) Sandidge
From the McGrew letter: "...the first Sandidge came to this country from Ireland ... before the Revolutionary War. She was the daughter of an Irish nobleman and she eloped with a commoner." [I don't know of any basis for this story.] Also, the letter said that two sons of Leonard and Mary died in infancy.
Her name was spelled Mary Sanridge in a letter from Jennie Wilson to Leonard Wilson, 5 Nov 1940. She is listed as Mary A. Sandridge in the Ancestral File and in the Hotchkiss manuscript. I have seen her called Mollie in a couple of places: in the probate case file of her mother, Marie L. Isbell, and in a posting to the Rootsweb Sandidge message board by Karen Jorgensen dated 2 Aug 2009.
The name on her death certificate is Mary W. Wilson. Hard to read cause of death; maybe acute cardiac dilitation? Died at Presbyterian Hospital.
1850 census

Listed as Mary W. Sandridge. The entry for age looks like 3 years, but she should have been one month old on the day they were visited by the census enumerator (listed as 12 Oct 1850). She really shouldn't even have been included, because the census was supposed to be as of 1 Jun 1850. Living with her parents and family.
