10. Note:

   Maria probably used the name " Mary Ann" like her aunt Maria Magdalena.

   The Will of certain Sarah Rogers of Unity Twp. mentions Mary Newhouse, the daughter of George Newhouse. To Mary, she left her " dress Bonnet, two callico dress frocks, and one Green quilted Petticoat." [Will Book 3, P. 115 Greensburg County Courthouse, Greensburg, PA] The only Mary Newhouse, living in Westmoreland Co. that fits the description is Maria Anna. I wonder what connection she had to Sarah Rogers.

   A photo of her is in the book, Aarons of Crates, PA 1820-1980 by Catherine and Paul B. Shannon, page 440.

   Maria was baptized a Catholic convert when she married Aaron, January 22, 1849. They moved to Salt Creek Valley, Leavenworth Co., KS in 1873.
