note from findagrave: Note: Family records usually give her name as Mary Elizabeth Douglass Meriwether, and she is listed as Mary Wilson in the 1850 Census, but her headstone has Elizabeth M. D. Wilson and a gravesite footer inscribed "E. W." is likely hers, indicating she went by the name Elizabeth. The name on the Memorial reflects that.
