I have a death certificate from Mary Asay which says her parents were Charles Asay and Mary Seeds. Mary Asay was married to and widowed early by William Beadell and reverted to using her maiden name after her husband died. I don't believe they had any children but I don't know that for a fact.

Mary Asay Beadell was 114 when she died in the Burlington County hospital in Mt. Holly, NJ, in 1937. She said she was born in Philadelphia, PA, on 19 Feb 1823 and that there was a bible which had her birth recorded in it.

She is a sister of my ancestor, Edward P. Asay, so I would like to find out more about her parents, if possible.

Where Charles Asay and Mary Seeds were born is unknown on the certificate.

Someone submitted her & her parents names to the FamilySearch.org website but they listed her mother as Mercy Seeds. Her name is clearly Mary on the death certifcate so I wonder if this person got the information from somewhere else.

If anyone has any information, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks. Jo
