In the year of 1899 birth records were not recorded for the state of Colorado. However, birth dates can be found in baptismal records. I will see if Pat M. can locate the marriage license number for Stewart Maclung Detamore and Mary Jane Cunningham.

hi Michael, I'm Juanita - and just happened to come across your post. I am VERY familiar with Cherokee Genealogy and decided to followup on your Mary Cunningham. I'm not sure of all the 'befores' and 'afters' of your Mary Cunningham Detamore, but I do know from reading information on Mary Cunningham the Cherokeee that she married a William Cunningham, she was a Vann before marriage, was born in Indian Territory in 1857, and was living in Spavinaw OK in 1906. She shows on the OK/IT census in all years, with her children. I'm thinking that you are looking for a different Mary Cunningham than Mary Vann Cunningham. i'll gladly do more searching for you if you'd like.

Hi Michael, a little more about Mary Detmore…
In the 1900 Federal Census, Trinidad, Las Animas Co, CO: Mary Detamore (wife of Stewart) was born in Dec 1867 in MO. Father born in Scotland, mother in MO. Married 14 years.
In the 1880 Federal census for Moniteau county, MO: Mary Cunningham, b 1866, MO. Mother is Tabitha Cunningham b 1840 in MO. They are living next to two Moad families – Calvin and Martin Moad. Notes (in ancestry.com) indicate that the mother is Tabitha Jane Moad Cunningham.
In the 1870 Federal census for MO, Tabitha, Mary and other siblings are there, and indicates that the father was ‘gone’ by then. There is a Moad living next to her then.
In 1860 Cooper County Mo, there is a Thos Cunningham b Scotland, with wife T.J.M. Cunningham.
In 1850, in Moniteau county MO, there is a Tabitha Moad with father Laevon and mother Mary.
I think this family is worth a look-her being born in MO and the connection to the Moad name make them great candidates. If you get the census, you’ll be able to see all the information.
