Linda -

Good question and I was probably at fault for inserting it into my
diatribes. I used to carry it as just Mary Gough - then Mary Priscilla?
Gough - and then I think somewhere along the line the question mark got
lost because of sites like this one:

And the Kentucky link has driven me nuts. I sure can't find it and if no
one can come up with a source for it, perhaps its time to get rid of it.
