Mary Diana* "Mollie" ECHOLS was born on January 7th, 1848 to Jeremiah ECHOLS & his cousin Harriett ECHOLS. They lived in Mississippi at the time. Jeremiah was the son of William ECHOLS and Mary Elizabeth FARMER. Harriett was the daughter of David ECHOLS & Dinal TRIBBLE. At the age of two, Mary D. lost her father, Jeremiah, when he died at the age of thirty-eight of a heart ailment.
On December 16th, 1866, at the age of eighteen, Mollie married Ambrose Christopher GARRETT, the son of Elijah & Polly Ann GARRETT. They had two daughters: Rena & Florence. Around 1870, Ambrose & Mollie assumed guardianship over the children of Ambrose's first cousin, Gabriel M. WRIGHT when he and his wife, Mary Polly (Garrett), died of the Measles. Ambrose & Mollie also took care of three nieces/nephews: Fanny, Martha & Stonewalll McDONALD, which made for a full house for such a young couple.
On March 24th, 1874, Mollie lost her thirty-year-old husband. Mollie continued as guardian of the three WRIGHT children after Ambrose's death. Soon after, she married John. H. HUNTER, son of James Wyatt & Lucinda Wills (Garrett) HUNTER. They had three sons: John H. Jr; Sledge, and Fred.
By 1880, Mollie lived in Longtown, Panola county, Mississippi. A nephew, Jeremiah "Jerry" ECHOLS lived with her, while Jerry's brother, Isham Turner ECHOLS lived with John H. HUNTER's brother, James (and Deliah) HUNTER.
Per the 1900 census, it states that Molllie was the mother of 8 children but only 3 were still alive (Florence GARRETT, Sledge HUNTER, & Fred HUNTER).
Following the death of her second husband, Mollie married her cousin, Joseph William ECHOLS, around 1897. Joseph was the son of Joel Hubbard & Sarah W. (Anthony) ECHOLS and grandson of David & Dinal (Tribble) ECHOLS. Joseph & Mary lived in Tate county, MS. Mollie died on July 19th, 1902 and was buried in Bethesda Cemetery. Her tombstone is shared with Joseph's 1st wife, Minerva Susan EASLEY.
