She was a Quaker from Pennsylvania who had been assigned by the Society of Friends to teach black children in South Carolina.

Mary's sister, Caroline "Carrie" Taylor Corbin, also came to Charleston, SC with Mary, and married William's best friend and associate, David Timothy Corbin. Carrie died at a very early age, while visiting her Quaker home in Chester County Pennsylvania, and buried in Longwood (formerly Quaker) Cemetery. Her grave is not marked, due to Quaker tradition of the time.
