Mary was born in Snead's Ferry, Onslow County, North Carolina. Mary's mother died before she was two years old. Her father married Elizabeth Hardison, who gave birth to her brother, John. Her step-mother died when Mary was seven years old and her father married a third time to Lurana Wilkins. John and Mary were always together, until he went to serve in the War of 1812.
After the war, her brother brought his friend, John Holt, home. Mary and John Holt were married in November of 1814. After
John received his honorable discharge, they lived in Onsio County, North Carolina, where two children were born to them. They moved to Rutherford County, Tennessee, where the rest of their children were born while John was a farmer and a carpenter.
They were converted and baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on June 6, 1843. John Holt was called on a mission to North Carolina. Upon his return in 1847, he married another wife in polygamy. He left his first family in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and went to Utah with his second wife.
Mary was in such poor health that her children feared she never would get to Utah. After her son, William, returned from the Mormon Battalion service, their family prepared to cross the Plains in a company of fifty wagons under the command of Captain Alfred Hardin arriving in the Salt Lake Valley in October 1851.
In February 1852, her son, Jesse Jesse Payton Holt
moved with his mother to Spanish Fork and lived in a dugout until a better home could be built. In 1853, John left with his second family for California. Mary was left behind.
William and Jesse made a home for their mother and their sister, Mary Mariah. They faithfully cared for these two women until they died. Mary passed away in Spanish Fork at the age of eighty-three.
