    The census record appears to record Mary's age as 8 months old.  The number could be a 3, comparing with other poorly written numbers on this page.  Yet  there is a discrepancy from either of these.  The 1880 census records the birth month of those under one year old.  Mary is reported as born in May.  I am reporting her birth as May 1880.
