A burial memorial is found for Mary Louise on Find a Grave. But someone has erred in the linkage to her husbands. Joseph Fogg is Mary Louise Sledge's husband. But the second husband shown here, Samuel D Barnett, married Mary Louise and Joseph's daughter Mary L Fogg. In the 1860 census, Mary and Samuel are reported married, Mary is age 20, matching her age of 10 reported in the 1850 census in her parents' home.
