Notes

The 1850 census is consistent with the reports that Mary Ann Mansfield died in 1846. The Edmund West Family Data Collection reports that Mary Ann died in 1846 in Georgia. James K Stanley, in his Stanley genealogy in Ancestry World Tree (http://awtc.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=jamkstan&id=I3532) reports the death date as April 1846 and only the state of Georgia. Because of family residence in Murray County I assume this is where Mary Ann died.

In 1850 in Murray County, Georgia, her husband George is a widow. We find George with two daughters, living in the house of his father, and one daughter living with George's sister.

1850 Census, Murray County, Georgia, 13 August, page 32, House/Family #1590
George Terry 39 M Farmer SC [born abt 1811]
Nancy Terry 13 F SC [born abt 1837]
Mary A Terry 8 F GA Idiot [born abt 1842]

In the household of George's sister, next door to George, is his older daughter Jane Elizabeth, listed as Elizabeth Terry.

1850 Census, Murray County, Georgia, 13 August, page 32, House/Family #1591
Thomas Carder 45 M Farmer SC [born abt 1805]
Nancy [Terry] Carder 37 F SC [born abt 1813]
Elizabeth Terry 14 F SC [born abt 1826] (daughter of George C and Mary Ann Mansfield)

Though Mansfield family sources report that Mary died in 1846, and the 1850 census supports this, a puzzling entry in a Murray County marriage record compilation reports a record of marriage between George C Terry and Mary Mansfield on the date 26 April 1851. I do not find another George C Terry or Mary Mansfield to match this, but this conflicts with the other information on Mary and George. This date could be an entry error in the transcriptoin from the original marriage license book.
