Note: Mary was the fourth child born alive to GEORGE BAXTER McMAHAN and BESSIE ESTELLE MOORE McMAHAN. George and Bessie had one son, George Baxter McMahan, Jr., that was stillborn. According to Mary's Florida Birth Certificate, she wasn't named officially until November 3, 1938, it was also amended again on August 15, 1958. SOURCE: Florida Birth Certificate. U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007 NAME: Marian Estelle McMahan [Marian Whiteley] [Marian Reardon] [Marian Miller] [Marian Preacher] [Marian Estelle Baxter] SSN:263523242 Gender:Female Race:White Birth Date:5 Jul 1937 Birth Place:Geneva Semin, Florida [Geneva, Florida] Father Name:George Baxter Mother Name:Bessie E Moore Death Date:Jun 1980 Type of Claim:Original SSN.

She was hit head on by another driver that swerved into her lane on State Road 5, 1 mile north of Yulee, FL. She was enroute to her home in Fernandina after spending the evening visiting with family. She had her 10-year-old twin boys (my half-brothers) in the back seat and they mercifully escaped injury. Our Aunt Nina (Mrs. Vernon Lee) came to the rescue and to the boys into her home. She had already adopted my half-sister, Kimberly, as her own. Mary is buried in Bosque Bello Cemetery in Fernandina Beach, FL with other family not far away. Standing at her grave one can see the Container Corporation (CCA) towers. It's a lonely and tranquil spot. I pray she has finally found the rest that she was so desperately seeking.
