Mary Ann was the daughter of Jacob and Mary Harmon Keasling. She was born in Green County, Tennessee in 1818. She married Riley Aultum there on November 27, 1833 when she was 15. Daughter Mary Ann and sons Jacob and John were born inTennessee. The couple had relocated to Howard County, Indiana by 1847, when daughter Siney was born. Thomas was born about June 1850 in Indiana but is not listed in his father's 1855 will so probably had died. Two more children, Catherine and Albertus, were born in Indiana. Albertus is listed in his father's will, also, but does not appear in any other records.

Mrs. Aultum appears to have lost most all of her family before she died. Her husband had died in 1855 and most likely her young son Thomas, who would have been under five years of age. Jacob died during the civil war; daughters Catherine Gunning died in 1870 and Sina Young died about 1877. Son Albertus, not listed in the 1850 or 1860 censuses, but as an heir in his father's 1855 will, probably died before 1860.

Howard County death records state Mrs. Aultum died of heart trouble on February 27, 1893 and was buried in Crown Point Cemetery on March 1, 1893. She is buried among the Gunning family plots and lies next to her great grandson, Harvey Gunning. It is presumed that her husband Riley Aultum and other deceased family members were buried in the now defunct Pioneer Cemetery in Kokomo
