• Notes

  She is identified as Mary Margaret Trolinger (maiden name) on her son, Robert's delayed birth certificate. It appears Mary was named after her mother. Mary also has a daughter by the name of Mary Margaret. Therefore, her birth name was probably Mary Margaret Trolinger and Martha was an apparent nickname probably to help avoid confusion among the family. 1900 United States Federal Census Name: Mary Tralinger [Mary Trolinger] Age: 12 Birth Date: Feb 1888 Birthplace: Tennessee Home in 1900: Civil District 7, Bedford, Tennessee [Shelbyville, Bedford, Tennessee] Race: White Gender: Female Relation to Head of House: Daughter Marital Status: Single Father's Name: Harvy Tralinger Father's Birthplace: Tennessee Mother's name: Margret Tralinger Mother's Birthplace: Tennessee 1920 United States Federal Census Name: Mary Roberts Age: 32 Birth Year: abt 1888 Birthplace: Tennessee Home in 1920: Roswell Ward 4, Chaves, New Mexico Street: West Pennsylvania St Race: White Gender: Female Relation to Head of House: Wife Marital Status: Married Spouse's Name: Edwin T Roberts Father's Birthplace: Tennessee Mother's Birthplace: Tennessee Able to Read: Yes Able to Write: Yes Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Edwin T Roberts 47 [49] Mary Roberts 32 Violet A Roberts 14 Hazel Fern Roberts 13 Robert E Wright 14 Sarah Ruth Wright 12 Mary M Wright 10 Guy L Wright 8 Lucy A Wright 6 Katharine E Wright 3 [3 9/12] Edwin T Roberts 0 [1/12] Lester D Roberts 19 1930 United States Federal Census Name: Mary Roberts [Mary Martha (TROLINGER) Roberts] Birth Year: abt 1888 Gender: Female Race: White Birthplace: Tennessee Marital Status: Divorced Relation to Head of House: Head Homemaker?: Yes Home in 1930: Roswell, Chaves, New Mexico Map of Home: View Map Street address: N Richardson Ward of City: Part of Ward 3 House Number in Cities or Towns: 109 Dwelling Number: 5 Family Number: 5 Home Owned or Rented: Rented Home Value: 75 Radio Set: No Lives on Farm: No Attended School: No Able to Read and Write: Yes Father's Birthplace: Tennessee Mother's Birthplace: Tennessee Able to Speak English: Yes Occupation: Manager Industry: Rooming house Class of Worker: Working on own account Employment: Yes Household Members: Name Age Mary Roberts 42 Robert Wright 25 son Mary Chambers 20 dua John R Chambers 30 son in law Guy Wright 18 son Katherine Wright 14 dau Edwin Roberts 11 son Clara E Roberts 9 dau Martha E Roberts 7 dau Dorthy J Roberts 3 dau Clemmons, S.
