One would expect the older two to appear in the 1870 census with their parents, and they do not. She was a resident in the household of Andrew Jackson Bliss in the 13 June 1870 census taken in Belle Plaine, Minn., as "Mary M. Bliss", keeping house age 33.4 She married Plynn W. Dutton in Wadena County, Minnesota, in November 1879. She was a resident in the household of Plynn W.

In 1886 she was served verbal notice in Wing River, Minn. for an undetermined reason.5 Mary died on 31 August 1907 in Staples, Todd County, Minnesota, at age 72.
