"The grand-parents of Christian, Christian Weiston and Magdeline (?) made specific provision in their wills for the nine children of their marriage or for the families of those who had pre-deceased. Christian took of the wills in lieu of his deceased mother. "Mary was a daughter of Leonard Jr. and Elizabeth (Ward) Propst. "The 1880 census Pendleton County shows Mary as age 80 and living with her son William L. and his family."
