      Mary gave her birthplace as Indiana in 1850 & 1870; as Kentucky in 1860 & 1880. She varied her birth date as well.

      She died sometime after 1880 probably while still living with son John E. & Amanda Deal in Harmony, Clay, IN.

    • This branch of the Deal family of North Carolina is somehow related to the Willis Lawson family of Putnam County, as evidenced by the fact that James Graves (1833-1892) and Mary Barnett Deal (1800-1880) lived in adjacent households in Putnam County, perhaps on land owned by Mary Barnett Deal (1800-1880).
