Marie Fanning was the daughter of Edmund Fanning and Ellen. The book "History of the Fanning Family, a Genealogical Record to 1900 of the Descendants of Edmund Fanning, the Emigrant Ancestor in America, who settled in Connecticut in 1653" by Walter Frederic Brooks, 1905, says on page 79, "No data has been preserved which gives the dates of the births of his and his wife Ellen's children. Nor can any record be found of the dates of the birth and marriage of Edmund, or of the birth of his wife Ellen, whose maiden name has not been ascertained. I do not know the source for the maiden name Butler found on the memorial for Edmund's wife Ellen.
