Mary was the second child of eleven born to farmer James and wife Bethsheba (Craig) Bradshaw.

In late in 1835 or early 1836 she married twenty-year-old farmer Marvel Hise. The Burke County marriage records for this period were burned by a Union Army raiding party in 1863.

Their first child, Albert, was born on 4 Nov 1836. During the following 24 years they produced a family of nine sons and four daughters. One son died in early childhood and one was captured by the Union Army at the Cumberland Gap and died in captivity at Camp Douglas, Illinois in 1865.

They farmed in a part of Burke County that became Caldwell County in 1841. In 1856 the family moved to a farm in the Crabtree township of Haywood County where Marvel apparently remained until the end of the Civil War.

Then he departed with a much younger woman into Jefferson County, Tennessee, 50 miles to the northwest. Mary and the four youngest children had returned to the Summers district of Caldwell County by 1870.

Mary sued Marvel for divorce in 1873. In 1880 she was listed as a widow living in the Little River township of Caldwell County with her son Ambrose and family. She died there on 10 Sept 1883.

Burial place unknown.
