Mary Ann is NOT on the 1860 US Census with her parents: William & Ruth Adney. She is counted as one of two daughters with the Adney family in the story of their journey from Ohio to Wisconsin in 1855. (I believe she "ran off" with Mary Helm's husband, William Dobbs some time between 1856 and 1860.)
