In 1850 William is 56yrs and states he is from PA. Catherine is 55yrs and states she is from MD. They have children Virginia 24 b KY, William 22 b KY, Mary 17 b OH and Sarah 12 b PA. Reasons I think this may be the same Mary are: Mary is about the right age and place of birth - OH Catherine's birthplace of MD is consistent with what Mary shows in later census records (though William states he was born in PA and that doesn't match up with Mary's later census info) William and Catherine's 2 oldest children are Virginia and William. Augustus and Mary's 2 oldest children are Virginia and William A will for William or marriage records for Mary will probably be the only way to prove it.
