The case turned out just as she had predicted, and the man was acquitted on that very quibble

{May Robinson's mother said this} 55 or 60 years ago (e.g. 1840 or 1845) Old Molly, her daughter, Capt. Franceway, his son Joe, Joe Sackabasin and some others camped for four years near Lovell's pond where the battle was fought.

1914. Clara Neptune says Old Molly was m'teoulin; that many people were afraid of her; if she said they would die, they would die. She also says Molly had 4 children of Gov John Neptune who "had children most everywheres", "had been all round, most every place got child".

Molly's children were: 1 (not remembered) 2 dau. in Eastport (says Clara Neptune) (not in order.) 3 Sarah Polasses (the handsome woman) wife of Dr. Aitteon Lola 4 Peol Molly also called Peol Nicola (m. Mary _____ ). There is also a Newell Peol Molly mentioned in grandfather's books, who is probably this man. {Lewey Ketchum told me the last time I saw him that Peol Molly's father was Gov. John Neptune}

Molly had a sister Madeline the mother of old Dr. Sebattis Mitchell's wife Margaret (in index). Madeline was pleasant; Molly cross at times.

I do not know whether old Capt Peol Molly, the great checker player, who died blind at 90, was the above but think it impossible. (Note, they were different, for I find that Peol Molly died in 1887. I saw his widow, his second wife, who said she was a sister to Joe Francis a small, dark woman, with pleasant manners and beautiful black hair. she said she was 49 years old.
