Birth*	Mary, daughter of John Vining Dickinson and Sarah Graves Bartlett, was born on 10 April 1854 in Hawley, Franklin Co., Massachusetts.2,3
CensusNF1	Mary appeared on the 1855 Massachusetts State Census of Windsor, Berkshire Co., Massachusetts, in the household of her parents, John Vining Dickinson and Sarah Graves Bartlett, as 1 yo Mary E Dickerson.4
Census1860	Mary appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of Savoy, Berkshire Co., Massachusetts in the household of her parents, John Vining Dickinson and Sarah Graves Bartlett, as 6 yo Mary E Dickinson.1
CensusNF1	Mary appeared on the 1865 Massachusetts State Census of Windsor, Berkshire Co., Massachusetts, in the household of her parents, John Vining Dickinson and Sarah Graves Bartlett, as 11 yo Mary E Dickinson.5
Census1870	Mary appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Savoy, Berkshire Co., Massachusetts in the household of her parents, John Vining Dickinson and Sarah Graves Bartlett, as 16 yo Mary Dickinson.6
Marriage*	Her first marriage was to Elbridge P. Amsden on 13 January 1877 at Adams, Berkshire Co., Massachusetts.7,8
Census1880	Mary and Elbridge appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Windsor, Sullivan Co., Vermont, enumerated 21 June 1880, as 35 yo laborer Elbridge P & 25 yo wife Mary P Amsden.9
Census1900*	Mary and Elbridge appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Claremont, Sullivan Co., New Hampshire, enumerated 5 June 1900, as 54 yo day laborer Elbridge & 43 yo cotton mill weaver wife Mary E Amsden.10
Marriage*	Her second marriage was to John W. Knight on 19 June 1908 at Amherst, Hampshire Co., Massachusetts. This was John's 2nd marriage also. I've not found a divorce record for Mary & Elbridge. He lived until 1934 so a divorce is a near certainty.11,2
Census1910	Mary and John appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Pelham, Hampshire Co., Massachusetts, enumerated 23 April 1910, as 63 yo farmer John W & 55 yo wife Mary E Knight.12
Census1920*	Mary appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Amherst, Hampshire Co., Massachusetts, as 64 yo widowed private family housekeeper mother-in-law Mary E Knight in the household of her son-in-law & step daughter Norman F & Doris M Harlow. This enumeration is a bit of a long shot. I don't find Doris as a daughter of either Amsden or Knight from a previous marriage, but Mary's name, age, location are all good. A Ralph Harlow is mentioned in Mary's obit but their relationship is not stated.13
Census1930	Mary appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of Amherst, Hampshire Co., Massachusetts, as 76 yo widowed sister Mary E Knight in the household of her sister Maria Bowen Dickinson; as 83 yo widow Maria B Edwards.14
Death*	Mary died on 10 December 1937 at her home on Pine St. in Springfield, Hampden Co., Massachusetts, at age 83, 'following a long illness'.2
Burial*	She was buried at Knights Corner Burial Ground in Pelham, Hampshire Co., Massachusetts. Find A Grave provides photo of a confusing joint headstone. On one face it reads Robert Knight (1879-1903), then Mary E Knight (1854-1937). On the adjacent face it reads John W Knight (1847-1913) and Laura Tupper (1844-1903). Best guess is Laura was John's m1 and with no room left on that side of the stone his m2 Mary's info was carved under a brother's name on the adjacent side.2,3
