Mary Hunter was born on 31 Dec 1835 in Langdale End, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom.[1],[2] note: While her grave marker indicates Mary’s birth was 31 Dec 1836, it is likely that her actual birth date was 31 Dec 1835. The baptismal record from Wykeham Parish gives her baptismal date as 12 Jan 1836, therefore her birth would have been prior to that date, so it could not have been Dec of 1836.
She was baptized on 12 Jan 1836 at the parish church of Wykeham in Wykeham, Yorkshire (North Riding), England.[3] image transcription: 12 January 1836, Mary, daugh of John and Elizabeth Hunter, (abode) Langdale End, (occupation) Mason, Thos. Irvin, Offic. Min.

Mary was not enumerated in the house of her father for the 1851 Census and has not yet been located in that census.
She emigrated from Yorkshire, England (departing from Liverpool) aboard the ship “Orleans” in Jul 1853.[5] She arrived on 24 Aug 1853 in New York City.[6],[7] image transcription: ship “Orleans” arrived 24 August 1853 at New York City, lines 21-26: John Hunker [Hunter], 35; Mrs ” [Hunter], 35; Mary ” [Hunter], 18; Wm ” [Hunter], 12; Frank [Hunter], 10; Joseph [Hunter], 8.
