- It was believed that Mary Ann Cury McCuistion died 18 August 1852, as the original genealogy states, "They [Noah and Mary Ann] left Texas Mar. 14, 1852, and after many hardships reached San Francisco August 18, of that year. The wife died that day." However, Noah's great great granddaughter writes, "I don't think the death information for Mary is correct..." citing the 1850 census for Williamson County, Texas. The Williamson County census places Noah with the "Bright family and his daughter, Mary Ann age 2 living with her grandparents, Thomas and Matilda Curry in Brazos County, Texas."
