Nancy, I am posting this to the list so other can benefit at well. Harrison Lepper married first my great-great-grandfather's sister, Martha Elizabeth Tyrrell and second, my great-great-grandmother's sister, Julia Ann Partridge. During his first marriage a son, John Harrison Lepper, was born. John had a daughter named Mary who may be your Mary. I will include an outline descendant chart below for your review. Let me know if this turns out to be your missing link. Ray Justus P.S. I have a picture of Harrison.
