Notes:

I originally found that she married Jacob Fortenberry in 1869 and had a daughter Mary E in 1870. However, this is incorrect.
On the 1870 census in Reeds Creek, Lawrence Co AR, are these two families:
Jesse M Harlow, wife Mary age 29, children as listed here.
Jacob Fortenberry, wife Mary age 24, daughter Mary E age 1/12.
Obviously Mary can't be in both families at once, and the Mary who married Jacob is younger than the one who married Jesse.
According to several RootsWeb entries, Jacob married Mary E Goodwin and Mary Raney. Some say he married Mary Raney in 1873.
In 1880, Jacob and Mary are both 38. They have children as listed here. They also have children Wesley 18 and Josephine 12. It appears Jacob did marry two Marys.
