The Marriage of John W. Sanders and Mary Ann Dry

 Mary Ann Dry was borne about 1837, a daughter of Peter Dry and his wife  Hetty Elizabeth A. Teter. There are many trees on line that show Mary Ann married to John with the WRONG PARENTS. Most of these trees say that Mary Ann is the daughter of Daniel Dry and Rachel Lipe. Daniel and Rachel did have a daughter borne in 1826. She married George H. Barrier.

But, Mary Ann daughter of Peter and Hetty Teter Dry married John W. Sanders on 8 September 1853 in Cabarrus County, North Carolina.

John W. Sanders and Mary Ann Dry Sanders had the following children's.

• i.    John F. Sanders was born about 1855.
  ii.    William M. Sanders, born 1 Jun 1857, Cabarrus County, North Carolina; married Mary Elizabeth Hudson, 5 Nov 1891, Anson County, North Carolina; died 5 Jun 1911, Concord, Cabarrus, North Carolina.
  iii.    Mary Emeline Sanders was born on 26 Jun 1860 in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. She died on 26 Aug 1890 at the age of 30 in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. 
  iv.    Margaret Sanders was born about 1863.
  v.    Charles C. Sanders was born about 1866.

A search for the death and burial information about John and Mary Ann was unsuccessful at this time. There are no tombstones, obituaries or any other known documents related to their death. With the exception of William and Mary Emeline very little have been found regarding these five children. But, the search continues.
