  • Birth*: Maria Rankin was born on 22 December 1813 at Mt Pleasant Township, Washington Co, Pennsylvania.1,2,3
  • She was the daughter of Jesse Rankin and Mary Martin.
  • Marriage*: Maria Rankin married George M. Kelso, son of Mark Kelso and Elizabeth Ewing, on 28 March 1838.1,2,3
  • Death*: Maria Rankin died on 30 July 1878 at age 64.1,2,3
  • Comment: "[George M. and Maria (Rankin) Kelso] settled on the home farm where their lives were passed."3
  • Comment: "George Kelso and his wife [Maria Rankin] were formerly members of the Union Church, afterward uniting with the United Presbyterian Church at Venice."3
  • ResearchNote: Research Note: Beers cites an additional, unnamed child who died as an infant. Beers also cites the two daughters named Abigail, so the first daughter named Abigail Lavina Kelso cannot be the same as the additional, unnamed child.3
  • ResearchNote: Research Note: Beers says "laid to rest" on 30 Jul 1878 so this may be a burial date rather than a date of death.3
  • ResearchNote: Research Note: Ardinger's cites circa 1832 as the date of birth for Mark Kelso. This makes him born before the marriage of his parents, George M. and Maria (Rankin) Kelso.1
