Mary LivingstoneMary Moffat Livingstone (1820-1862) was born at Griquatown, Africa, to her missionary parents, Robert and Mary Moffat. She married David Livingstone in 1845, and "echanged one great name for another," and honored both. The years that followed were difficult for her as they moved about often and she was ill much of the time. They had six children: Robert, Agnes, Thomas, Elizabeth, Zouga (William), and Anna. Mary was afflicted more than once with partial paralysis, and one time she and the children returned to England for four years in order for her to recover. Her death in 1862 was a great loss to her husband who continued his missionary work for eleven more years.
