Note
Biography*: Mary Elizabeth Jackson was 12 years old when the Civil War began. During the war, she made a beautiful coverlet which is still in the family. She picked the cotton, removed the seeds, carded the cotton, spun the thread, and wove it on her loom and then added fringe. It was a work of art. Bennie, her youngest son, said, "until I was fourteen years old, I never had a thing to wear that Mother did not make for me. Part of the time she wove the cloth the clothes were made from. At fourteen I got a store bought suit with knee pants." Mollie, as she was called, married Ike Bassett in 1866, and the couple lived in Hackneyville, Tallapoosa Co, AL until 1905, when they moved to Downing, Comanche Co, TX. In her younger days, Mollie was a midwife, and "delivered babies everywhere." She'd get on her horse and ride side-saddle. She said "I never sat astraddle of a horse, but I could go to dances 10 or 15 miles away riding side-saddle." A bunch of them would get together and go to dances.
