Not only did Mary raise her own children with Robert, but she was mother to three daughters from Robert's first marriage, to Marsavan Lyon. The girls were ages 10, 8 and 7 when their mother had passed away.
God Bless you Mary, you must have been a very remarkable woman as well as loving, because we are now certain Mollie regarded you as her own mother.
Note: New marriage and Census information has surprisingly changed the name of my daughters' 2nd paternal Gr-Grandmother. It was always believed the mother of Martha Ella "Mollie" Womack was Mary Hudgins. Robert's first wife Marsavan died when Mollie was 4 yrs old. Mollie's Aunt Martha, Robert's second wife and a sister of Marsavan, also died young. There were no children by this second marriage.
Mary is my daughters' "adopted" 2nd paternal Gr-Grandmother through her step-daughter Martha Ella (Womack) Pickens (1880-1975).
Many thanks to omikeo for the tombstone photo.
