I am trying to find the parents of a Mary Jo NICHOLS b.1879 and was married to William Robert MULLINS. Nobody knows who Mary NICHOLS b.1879 parents are and seem a Mary NICHOLS about the same age on this census so I'm trying to find out if this is the Mary I'm looking for. The Mary I'm looking for ended up in Jackson, Madison County, Tennessee but have no info on her backwards. If you should ever see a connection please let me know.
