    Notes from Ina Stott:
    Mary Jane Cockerham, also known as "Molly", was born Dec. 9, 1854 to Daniel Kelley and Catherine Amelia Smith Cockerham. As a little girl, she knew the terrors of the Civil War. During the war, her family tried to move from Tenessee where she was born, to Arkansas. They were caught in Memphis, Tenessee when Yankee troops cut off movement to and from the town. Her mother died while they were there. She was 6 then.Molly and her brothers went to live with an Aunt Fannie Smith Crunk in Searcy, Arkansas. Yankee soldiers came often to her aunt's house, taking quilts, hams, knives and forks.
    When Molly was 14, she and her two younger brothers accompanied her aunt and uncle and their child to Texas to join Molly's Father and older brother in Hayes County [Texas]. They made the trip in a covered wagon and the journey required three months. Streams were swollen and blizzards were frequent, forcing them to camp for days at a time. They reached...[Hayes County, Texas] Feburary 22, 1870. It was during this journey that Molly met the man whom she was to marry four years later. They met at Round Rock, where the group stopped to visit a friend of her uncle. A guest in the friends' home that day was J.D. Wufjen, then employed by a Round Rock Merchantile concern, but destined to become one of the outstanding Pioneer cattlemen of West Texas. After three years in Hayes County, Molly's family group moved to Round Rock Texas, then back to Hayes County a year later. She and J.D. Wulfjen were married in San Marcos, Hayes Co.. TX . Feburary 24 1874.
