Mary Lynn Staples had reference number 2549. She was enumerated on the census in Lynchburg City County, Virginia (1900); Pulaski County, Arkansas (1910); Sebastian County, Arkansas (1920.) Newland DeVault says that Mary was married to someone named Miller. I have not found any corroborating information and her grave stone suggests that she was never married. It is likely that Newland confused May Lynn Staples with Marilyn Staples (Carrier) Miller.
