• Notes

  Mary "Mollie" Charlesann Elizabeth Carter was born in Tippah County, Mississippi. Her parents were James Carter and Salina Roxanna Dean. In 1851, the Carters moved to Webberville on the Colorado River in Travis County, Texas. That is where Mollie married William J.G. McIlhaney on Feb. 12, 1867. They were married by Albert Brown, and their marriage is recorded in Travis County Marriage Book 2, page 408. Soon after their marriage, Mollie and husband moved to Coryell County, Texas, where they spent the rest of their lives. All but three of their ten children grew to adulthood: Lula Belle 1870-1929, John Richardson 1873-1949, Anne Etta 1875-1876, William Arthur 1876-1960, Oliver Lee 1878-1956, Selena Jane 1880-1881, Frank B. 1881-1962, Ida Mae 1884-1886, and Ethel Elizabeth 1887-1960. Mollie and her husband were members of the Coryell Baptist Church, where her husband served as a deacon. He was also a Justice of the Peace. They owned 1,000+ acres in Coryell County and also ran a store in the Waldo community. Mollie's husband died in 1904. In 1910, she was living with her daughter Lula Belle in Taylor County, Texas. During her widowhood, she may also have lived with her sons John R. and Ollie in Wilbarger County, Texas. She passed away on October 23, 1911. There is no death record, and there are differing stories regarding where she died. One says she was visiting her sister Sarah Etter Summers in Crawford, Texas. Another says she was traveling on a train between Tolbert and Gatesville when she died. One granddaughter said that Mollie spoke happily of childhood Christmases spent at Bastrop, Texas (near Webberville) in the 1850s and 1860s. She said Mollie was a quiet woman who loved her children and who was well loved.
