A portrait of Mary Daves McKinlay was represented in a painting, passed down to her namesake niece, that revealed an outer gentility.

Her enduring mark on New Bern may be perceived in her marker in Cedar Grove Cemetery. It may also be perceived in the pictured tablet, made by the Daves family and now in Christ Church’s graveyard.
