They changed their name to Holliston after arrival to America.

She was then 66 years of age. Most likley she is buried in the private O'Neill Family Cemetery or the White Church Cemetery. No doubt her husband, Andrew Houliston, the patriarch of this Houliston family in America, had passed away by then. Mary Houliston is listed in the census as having no real estate, but good personal wealth. No doubt the money she reported was what she would have after the family farm had been sold and Andrew's estate settled.
