Marion Co TOC

This is my great-aunt, Mary Davenport Williams. She was the oldest sister of my grandfather, Whit Davenport (of the Pamunkey Davenports). Aunt Mary lived to the age of 92. I was 16 when she died so I remember her well. She used to tell us stories about when Wild Bill Hickok was in Yellville. She was a midwife and delivered over 600 babies in south Marion and northern Searcy county. She rode her old mule "Dink" while traveling all over to deliver the babies
