*Large Print Edition* - Mary Ann Sarah Jane Levinna Ellen McBride,
called Molly, was passed from the care of one aunt to the next
growing up in the late 1800's American South. In the households of
the several aunts she was named after, she cooked, cleaned, farmed
and helped raise younger cousins. Life was mostly hard work and
often dangerous. James was slowly recovering from the loss of his
young wife and newborn daughter. When their fathers introduced
them, life didn't get any easier but it suddenly became worth it.
This booklet, a small tome of 80 pages (large print edition),
contains a family history research document, going back seven
generations to James's Irish grandparents. It was written many
years ago by the late Mary Louise Pitt Blaylock, one of Molly and
James's granddaughters, as told to her by Molly, James, their sons
and daughters, as well as information taken from historic family
letters. Readers should not expect a romanticized, sweeping epic
novel. This is a short, straightforward telling of the family
history. It includes recollections of Molly and James's pioneer
life and many birthdates and places of birth. Where Mary Blaylock's
story leaves off Cheryl Casey, one of Molly and James's
great-granddaughters, picks it up with more stories from Molly and
James's children as well as research into Molly's surprisingly
noble heritage. No profit is intended on the sale of this booklet
by either Mary or Cheryl. It is set at the lowest price acceptable
to the printer/distributor in the hope that Molly and James's story
and heritage be made readily available to family, friends, ancestry
researchers, and any who love American and Texas history.
