One photo has listed that she was 1/4 but it does not state which tribe.

Mary's marriage record to David Ross SWADLEY has her name as Mary H. In her Guion Miller application, Mary's daughter, Corda, says her mother's name was Mary Susan. She probably is buried in the Brighton Cemetery, but the two names that Norma Green list can't be her...death date is wrong on both of those. Her sister, Nancy, (Guion Miller application) says Mary died in 1890. David married the 2nd time to Martha Elizabeth BALLENGER on 5 May 1891. I believe the names FANNON and FANNEN are misspellings of the name FANNING.

Molly is a nickname for Mary. If this helps any. So Mary Ella could have been called Molly very easily.
