Mary Chambers Bibb (1816-1835) was the wife of William D. Bibb (son of Gov. Thomas Bibb), daughter of Dr. Henry Chambers. She died shortly after her marriage from a poison that her nanny had accidentally given her, mistaking it for medicine. She was buried in her wedding gown and legend says she was interred sitting up in a rocking chair. Her mausoleum was the first built in Maple Hill Cemetery.
