Notes:

Rachel Habig emailed, in February 2019, that she knew for a fact that her "2nd great grandmother was names Ary White, after Ary Felder Moore, Mary's aunt. Ary White had a twin sister named Elizabeth "Bessie" White. (My aunt is named "Ary Elizabeth" after them). Due to whatever circumstances, they weren't always in the same household growing up making it tough to research."
