From the Biographical Souvenir of the States of Georgia and Florida:
Dr. Joseph Anthony was a native of Elbert County, Georgia, and was born in 1805. His early medical education was obtained at the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, but he received his diploma on graduating from the Transylvania Univerisity at Lexington, Kentucky. He was regarded as one of the most able and most successful physicians of the state, and no man stood higher professionally, socially, or religiously than he. For many years before his death in 1875 at the age of 70, he had been a deacon in the Baptist Church and liberal contributor to the Baptist and other religious journals. His articles were highly appreciated and admired.

Notes:

Inscription on tombstone: "Wife of J.F. Cunningham; "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God."
1850 Census of Oglethorpe County, Georgia lists Mary Anthony as a resident in the home of Barbary (Barbara) Williams, along with Mahuldah (Mahuldy) Anthony and Johnson Cunningham. These three inherited her goods according to her will. It is unknown why Mary Anthony was living with Barbara Williams, as both of her parents were alive in 1850 and living in Madison County, where Johnson F. Cunningham and Mary Anthony later married. It is interesting to note that Johnson F. Cunningham and Mary Anthony named their first two children William Matthew after their fathers and Sarah Barbara after Johnson's mother Sarah and, presumably, Barbara Willliams.

Mary married Johnson Franklin CUNNINGHAM on 9 Oct 1851 in Madison County, Georgia. Johnson (son of William CUNNINGHAM and Sarah CARTLEDGE) was born on 17 Oct 1823 in Oglethorpe County, Georgia; died on 9 January 1899 in Lewisville, Denton County, Texas; was buried in Jan 1899 in Flower Mound Cemetery, Lewisville, Denton County, Texas.
