• Notes

  From Hal Bresock per his dad, Jay Bresock: Mary was the Nanny/Midwife and Henry married her when his first wife died in childbirth. Mary was heir to the Meyer Ranch in West Virginia. Mary ended up working in a glass factory. Her sister, "So", helped to take care of the children.Mary and Sophia were twins. Family has stated that Mary may have had another son named John. It is said the father may be a sibling of her husbands first family ( Henry Bresock and Rosina Belschner,) or a brother of hers. The childs name is John. His name is shown from a letter that is written by a John MEYER who lists all the children of Mary Meyer and shows that a 'JOHN' is her first born. He is said he didn't like to take the name as 'Meyer', but rather wanted to use the name Bresock. This leads me to believe that the father of 'John' is a Bresock.When Rosina, the first wife of Henry, was pregnant with the last two of her children, Mary Carrie and Regina, she was in very frail health and Mary Meyer went to live with this family to help out the mother, Rosina. Mary would have been 27 years old at that time.Mary 's husband, Henry Bresock married her just three months after first wife Rosina died. He was killed in a bar room and she was about 3 months pregnant at that time with her last child, Jay Weirich Bresock. He never knew his father and she was left with that very large family of Rosina's and her own.Her twin sister, Sophia came to live with the family and help out. Eventually the children were placed with relitives, and family friends to care for.A few years later, Mary married her second husband Captain John P. Morris. They didn't have any children. She died a few years later when her dress caught fire while her husband was using the billows to shoe a horse and she was helping him.Physical Description: Tall, Dark hair, very large dark brown eye, olive complectionCause of Death: Burned to death
