Query Text: |
Looking for Mary Varney who may have married Daniel Towle 8-15-1826 in Mecklenburg County, NC. Mary was a school teacher and her name appears on a needlework sampler stitched by Jane L. Barry of Mecklenburg County, NC, in 1825. The above dated marriage bond for Daniel Towle appears to read Mary Vary as his wife so I am not sure this is the Mary I'm looking for. Another undated needlework sampler from Mecklenburg County, NC, was stitched by Annis Dewese, who named her teacher with the initials MVT, which I believe to be Mary's initials after her marriage to Daniel Towle. Several women teachers came to North Carolina in the 1800's from New York. One is known to have come from Dutchess County, New York. Newspaper ads also indicate teachers came from the Troy and NYC areas. A "Dr. Harry E. Varney of the University of South Caroline in Columbia" was named in a Mecklenburg County will index. Mecklenbug County, which includes the city of Charlotte, is located near the South Carolina border close to the Catawba River. It was predominently settled by Scots-Irish Presbyterians. I have no information on Daniel Towle except that he was a carpenter/builder and that on 12-4-1835 he married a Sarah Snell. A possible daughter to Mary and Daniel Towle is Jane M. Towle who married Isaac H. Snell on 8-15-1848. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
