Mary Sands
Mary Bullman Sands (April 8, 1872 – April 2, 1949) was a singer of old traditional ballads during the early part of the 20th century in Madison County, North Carolina. She was known locally as "Singing Mary" due to her singing talent and extensive knowledge of the words and melodies of many old-time traditional songs that had been passed down through previous generations.〔Virginia Sparks Turner, "525, Sands and Bullman," in ''Madison County Heritage - North Carolina Vol. I'', comp. Madison County Heritage Book Committee (Marceline, MO: Walsworth Publishing, 1994), 190.〕 In 1916, English folklorist Cecil Sharp visited Madison County to collect and record traditional folk songs being sung in America that would have originated generations earlier in the British Isles. Sands sang 25 songs for him, 23 of which he included in his book, ''English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians''.〔Cecil Sharp, Maud Karpeles (ed.), ''English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians'' (London: Oxford University Press, 1932).〕

Mary Sands née Bullman was born on April 8, 1872 in the Laurel section of Madison County, North Carolina. Her parents were John Wesley Bullman (1847–1895) and Rosannah Shelton (aka Franklin) (1836–1909).〔Mike Yates and Kriss Sands, (''A Nest of Singing Birds: Cecil Sharp, Mary Sands, and the Madison County Song Tradition )''. Musical Traditions, March 15, 2002. Retrieved: December 22, 2012.〕 She had a twin sister, Martha Bullman (1872–1897), who died while in her twenties. She also had an older sister, Melvina ("Jane") Bullman (c. 1865 – c. 1930) and an older brother, Christopher Columbus ("Sonny") Bullman (1869–1935). John Wesley Bullman (called "Wesley") was the second husband of Rosannah. Her first husband, Hugh Wallin (1826–1864), was killed in the U.S. Civil War. Rosannah and Hugh Wallin had five sons〔Frankie S. Johnson, "349, Leroy and Frankie Sands Johnson," in ''Madison County Heritage - North Carolina Vol. I'', comp. Madison County Heritage Book Committee (Marceline, MO: Walsworth Publishing, 1994), 129.〕 - Sands's half brothers - some of whom also became well-known traditional ballad singers.
In 1892, Mary Bullman married James Monroe Sands (1849–1923),〔 who had moved to Madison County from Danville, Virginia. Together they had ten children, none of whom are currently living.
