Mary was born to John and Jane (Ralston) Craig on March 24, 1798. The family farmed near Hannastown in Westmoreland County PA. Mary had ten siblings, and it's possible that her sister Jane was her twin.
Mary's family attended the Presbyterian church at Congruity, and it was there that she married Hamlet Totten, a young schoolteacher, in 1824.
Mary and Hamlet moved to Armstrong County in 1827. They lived in Elderton, then in Kittanning, and settled on a farm near Rural Valley in 1837.
Mary's aunt, Martha (Ralston) Foster, was married to Alexander Foster Sr., one of the founders of Rural Valley, so perhaps that family connection is why Mary and Hamlet moved here.
Hamlet and Mary had six children:
- John Craig Totten (1825-1923)
- Lydia Jane (Totten) Aitkens (1827-1852)
- Infant who was born and died on May 13, 1830
- Sarah Ann Barrett (Totten) Ewing (1833-1898)
- Elizabeth Christy (Totten) Hill (1836-1889)
- Mary Craig (Totten) Stewart (1840-1910)
