Note: I was told that Mary's father, Bill Anderson, was an outlaw (according to family stories) however, I cannot find anything to prove this. I suspect this is simply someone's attempt to connect to someone famous, especially since the stories also indicate that her father died from rabies (while the outlaw Bill Anderson was shot). What I do know is that in 1880 when Mary was married to John Thornton, they were listed next to James Anderson, born Kentucky. Interestingly, Mary indicates her parents were born in Kentucky as well. I suspect he is in fact her father and not the outlaw Bill Anderson. 1850 District 1, Montgomery County, Kentucky Census; Roll: M432_214; Page: 19B; Image: 44.
