  	Mary (25) appeared in the household of Polk Forister. Her occupation was keeping house. She was born in Georgia. The household included William (2). Note: I'm reasonably sure that this is the same person as the Elizabeth who appeared on the 1880 census in James P. Forester's household. Her age matches and the age of the child William also matches. Furthermore, I think she is the Mary L. Vanzant who married James Forrester, since they live next door to Vanzants, who are likely her parents.
