Barton, Mary Emily (Kelley) (1862-1927)

Photograph of Mary Emily (Kelley) Barton seated on a bench and holding a young unidentified child.

Mary was the 3rd daughter of Patrick and Belle (Hockman) Kelley, from Edinburg. She married William Daniel Barton (1858-1936), in 1884. He was a farmer and part-time clerk in stores in Woodstock and Edinburg.

Mary died unexpectedly from complications of pneumonia. She is buried in Cedarwood Cemetery, Edinburg.

This image appears on page 118 of "A Hockman Family History". A short biography is included there that, in part, says this:

"Called "Turn" by her family, Mary got her nickname from the popular and flamboyant General Turner Ashby, Stonewall Jackson's most important Calvary commander during the 1862 "Valley Campaign". General Ashby was brought to the Kelley home for a visit by Mary's father, Patrick, who served in the 12th Virginia Cavalry under Generals Jackson and Ashby, when Mary was an infant. During the visit, General Ashby took a special delight in Mary."
