Molly Musgrove: There's Something About Mary

Mary Ann Savannah Musgrove

Betty Collins met and married David Musgrove in Clinch County, Georgia, where her father and his mother lived. We've found no marriage certificate, but that's not surprising. The courthouse in Clinch burned down in 1867, the summer their first child was born.

David and Betty (Collins) Musgrove

At Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Waycross are three simple grave markers. They read Father David Musgrove, Mother Betty Musgrove, and Daughter Molly Musgrove. 

They are our second great grandparents*,  John (known as) David, Elizabeth Arissa (known as Betty Collins) and their oldest daughter, our great grand aunt, Mary Ann Savannah (known as Molly) Musgrove.
