Born in Hampshire Co., Virginia, Mary, the oldest surviving daughter of John and Mary Pugh Chenoweth, was married at the age of 17 to John White Stalnaker in Elkins, Randolph Co., Virginia (now WV). John was two months shy of 20, the son of John I. Stalnaker and Margaret Elizabeth White. His sister, Rachel, had married Mary's brother, Robert, a year earlier. From this union would come a long line of Stalnaker-Chenoweths. Of their 15 children, twelve would survive to marry and dwell in the Randolph County area. Born just after the American Revolution, John White Stalnaker would live to the age of 87 surviving his wife Mary by six months, both living well past the bitter struggles of the Civil War. Mary's niece Susannah, daughter of Robert, would marry John W. Stalnaker to form a second Stalnaker line within the Chenoweth family. In 1813 John White Stalnaker was Constable of Randolph Co. Though many of the descendants of this family still live in Randolph Co., several moved into areas of Central West Virginia where Mary's brother Robert settled a generation earlier. Mary and John are both buried in the Gilman cemetery (AKA Phares), Leadsville District, Randolph Co., WV.
