Marriage17 Sep 1908 She married second David H. Dutton, son of John J. Dutton and Louisa Lowe, on 17 Sep 1908 in Washington County, Virginia.7 
Cens-191018 Apr 1910 In 1910 Mary Ann had been married to her second husband, David Dutton for one year. She was enumerated as his third wife. Two other people were also living with them: 23 year old Nanie Quesenberry (listed as David's stepdaughter) and 18 year old Charles Dutton (David's son).8 
  Nanie was likely the daughter of Mary Ann and J.T. Quesenberry but since they were married in 1890 it is likely that Nanie's age was incorrectly stated on the 1910 census. It is also possible the marriage date was mistranscribed.
