Mary's ancestry is summarized in the following biographical sketch of her nephew [50]:

Abraham Meals: farmer, P. O. York Sulphur Springs, was born May 9, 1838, on the farm he now owns and occupies. At the age of nineteen he began to work for himself, and now owns the homestead of over 400 acres in Huntington Township. He is one of the most substantial and independent farmers of the county; is a friend to education, and during the past winter established a select school at his own house for the benefit of his children, and intends having it for the future. He is a Republican, was a firm friend of the Union, and during the war was once drafted, but procured a substitute, and afterward furnished another. He married, March 4, 1861, Hannah Shelley, a daughter of Benjamin and Catherine (Faus) Shelley, of Huntington Township. They are the parents of five girls: Katie A., Coro M., Lottie V., Hayesanna and Georgie. The family attend the Evangelical Church. Mr. Meals' mother resides with him and is aged seventy-two years; his father died in 1855. The first of the Meals family in America was William Meals, the great-grandfather, who, with his wife Margaret, came from Germany, and settled in Tyrone Township, Adams County, near Deals' Mills, prior to the Revolution. The grandfather of our subject, William Meals, married Elizabeth Hartzwell, and had a family of seven children: Mary (married to Adam Weigle), Henry, Margaret (married to William B. Gardner), Jacob, Elizabeth (married to George Guise), William (the father of our subject) and Catherine (who married Henry Harman). William, above mentioned, was married in about 1836, to Leah Yeatts, of this county, a daughter of Simon and Barbara (Spangler) Yeatts. To this union four children were born, two living: Abraham, and Leah, who married Samuel Brown, who is now deceased, leaving two children.
