Abstract:
A portrait of Mary Daves McKinlay was represented in a painting, passed down to her namesake niece, that revealed an outer gentility. A portrait painted in words also revealed gentility, in actions such as financial generosity to surviving family and the Episcopal Church of New Bern, and a view of slavery ahead of her times. 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.

Abstract:
Barely a year after North Carolina seceded, General Ambrose Burnside and 11,000 soldiers captured New Bern in March 1862. The city was vital to the South as a port and as a railroad hub. Leaving their property behind, many citizens fled the city, but a number remained to endure the occupation. Letters, memoirs, sketches, and other primary sources from both the North and South provide a picture of New Bern under occupation.
