Biography

Mollie first appeared in records in Oklahoma's First Territorial Census in 1890. She was a 16 year old married to James Wiley King (b.1854). James and his mother, Mary Melissa Prince King Huff, (b. 1835), had participated in the 1889 Oklahoma Land Run.[1] Is it possible that Mollie was the daughter of David Williams?

According to family tradition, Mollie was of Native American lineage, possibly full blood, but the exact amount isn't known.[2]

In 1900, James and Mollie were in Mustang Township, Oklahoma Territory.[3]

According to the 1910 Oklahoma Census, she was married in about 1888.

Louisa died when her children were so young that few memories survived. One of her daughters remarked that her mother loved brushing the girls' long hair......and there were 8 of them!
