She married at least twice, but some say four times. Some family trees show her first husband as Edmund/Edward Musco Rains while others show her first husband as Ignatius Rains. Still others show her marrying George W. Rains.
She next married John T. Dudley, as proven by deed records, while some family trees show her marrying his supposed brother George W. Dudley.
Some family trees show George W. Dudley married Elizabeth's sister Mary Ann Hicklin Rains.
Historical Southern Families by John Bennett Boddie, vol. VII p.162 calls her Mary Hicklin. She is called Mary Elizabeth Susan Hicklin in some family trees.
From various family trees it appears that two Mitchell brothers married Hicklin sisters who are sometimes confused.
John T. McConnell, Atlanta genealogist and member of the Georgia Genealogical Soc., was hired by Stephens Mitchell, brother of Margaret Mitchell, to research the Mitchell lineage. He published a chart showing Mary Ann Dudley Mitchell's grandparents were William Hicklin and Sarah Isbell.
Interment unverified, no marker found.
