There are TWO Mary Ann's that married Isaiah Nickerson and they are double cousin's (their fathers were brothers, their mothers were sisters)
To add to the confusion, not only do they share a name, but their birth year. This has caused a lot of confusion for family history researchers. 
THIS Mary Ann married her dead cousin's widowed husband, a couple of months after the other Mary Ann's death.
