Mary Tetrault

"Tetrault" seems to be most correct, taking it to be a French name and is also given as Tatro (clearly an Americanized spelling based upon the sound of the name). So, spell it more like "Tetrault", but say it more like "Tatro". (Not perfect, but close.) Mary has been extremely difficult and we have more speculative sources than reliable ones.

1900 U.S. Census, Southbridge, North of River, Worcester County, Massachusetts
Page 33
Tatro(Tatrault) family listed with a daughter, Marion, of about the right age. (Born abt. 1891, The census taker seems to have mostly corrected the spelling after initially writing in "Tatro". There is a previous "Tatro" family on p. 9 and all further listings use a more proper spelling.)
7 individuals in the family. Father's name is "Philipp".
Should go back and get more information if any further information becomes useful. I used FamilySearch Record Search (free resource) to find the image of this record.
Susan Cox's Research
Last night I did find a marriage date in a Rhode Island index for her and Morris Gallinger. They were married Aug. 9, 1906 - 7 days before their first child was born. I always suspected this was a shotgun wedding.
The marriage info on Mary Tetrault and Morris Gallinger was found in a marriage index from the New England Ancestors web site. It comes from a series of books publishing the index.
