Mary should only be aged 61. Or has the enumerator made a huge error in that Samuel & Mary are living with their daughter, not their son? Then the 1876 death date for Mary (REYNOLDS) would make sense.

In the supplied photos, the fronts of John's and Mary Ann's tombstones are mostly unreadable, but both are unusual in having the name carved on the top surface of a thick, flat-surfaced stone. Surely they are a pair. In both cases, their birth and death dates are consistent with the census records.
