Misc. Notes
Her age shows as 58 on the 1870 census (at the house of George VenableThompson)?
According to Perrin, She was still alive when he wrote his book, but James was not. She had been living with George “Venable” Thompson and is not listed in 1880, so I expect she died that year.
Mary Gunn was the daughter of Starling Gunn, of Caswell County, North Carolina.

These parents came from Virginia, settling in this county in 1831.
