Notes - Mary was born in 1833 in Whitecross, Coldingham, Berkshire, Scotland as the youngest of Robert Ord and Mary Edgar's nine children. In keeping with Scottish custom, she was named after her mother following the death of her same-named older sister.
In 1850, Mary immigrated to Canada with her parents and siblings.
In 1851, at age 18, Mary Ord was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada with her parents and brother, Andrew. Her place of birth is erroneously given as England.
Mary is presumed to have married about 1857 to David Pattie, although no record of their marriage has been found.
In 1861, at age 27, Mary was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, with her husband David, a carpenter, and their young children, John and Mary.
What happens next to Mary is somewhat of a mystery. In 1871, Mary and David's children were residing with their uncle, Andrew Ord, with no sign of Mary or her husband, David. In 1877, their son, John, immigrated to Texas, USA. A year later, in 1878, their daughter, Mary, marries in Puslinch. The service is held in Andrew Ord's home. David later appears in records in Dallas, Texas, USA with his son, John, and David died in Dallas in 1899. It is not known why David was not with his children in Canada in 1871. Mary is not found in 1871, or any later census records, or any records at all. No record of her death has been found in Canada or the USA. There is no record of her being in Texas with her husband. She simply vanishes.
The only plausible explanation that I can determine is that Mary Ord died shortly after 1861 and her husband David moved to Texas where it appears he may have had cousins or other extended family and attempted to establish a new life for himself. Once established, his son John joined him, but his daughter may have already been in relationship with her soon-to-be husband, and thus elected to remain living with her uncle Andrew Ord.
As Mary's last known descendant died in 1975, the mystery may remain unsolved.
