  	There is an interesting thread on the Outhouse Ancestry.com message board. The Outhouse Genealogy lists a death date for Mary of Jun 1857, with a burial date of 1 Jul 1857. Her daughter, Rest, was born in 1857 so it appears that Mary may have died in childbirth. But the 1870 census shows Robert Henry, wife Mary, and children Rest, age 3 and Maxy J. age 1. The 1870 census shows Robert Henry with wife Nancy, children Rest, Ruebina, Malvina, Olive and Annie (no Amber). Plus the 1880 census lists an Edwin Deering, wife Mary J and step daughter, Annie, age 11. It appears that Robert and Mary may have been divorced. And who was the Mary Outhouse that was buried 1 Jul 1857? Could we be talking about 2 different Mary Deckers.
  Children	1. Reubina "Ruby" OUTHOUSE,   b. 1859, Maine ,   d. Yes, date unknown   2. Malvina "Nellie" OUTHOUSE,   b. Abt 1861,   d. Yes, date unknown   3. Olive OUTHOUSE,   b. Abt 1864,   d. Yes, date unknown   4. Amber OUTHOUSE,   b. 1869,   d. Bef 1870   5. Annie OUTHOUSE,   b. Abt 1869, Hodgdon, Aroostook, ME ,   d. Yes, date unknown
