Mary "Molly" Jane Young was born Mar. 10, 1843, in Laurens County, South Carolina, where her ancestors had settled in the 1750's, emigrating from Pennsylvania (on her father's side), and later from Virginia (on her mother's side). Her father, Manon Green Young, died when she was two, and one month before her sister Emma Francis Green Young, was born. Her father was only 31 when he died, leaving her mother, Francis Catherine Williams, a pregnant widow with an infant child to raise. In the 1850 census, they were all living with Francis' recently widowed mother, Jane (Beasley) Williams, and Jane's family, in Laurens. Sometime before 1860, the family relocated, with other members of their extended family, to what then was still the western frontier of Hempstead County, Arkansas, where Mary Jane Young married her first husband in May of 1860.
Her first husband, John Beverly Scoggin, had emigrated from Missouri to Arkansas. He died 6 May, 1862, in the Confederate service; the circumstances of his death are unknown. He is buried in Hempstead County.
She remarried, to Calvin Wade Hampton Haislip, in 1870. Calvin died ten years later, in 1880. Calvin and Mary Jane had 3 children:
a. John Manon Haislip, b. 4 Aug 1970 d. 17 Aug 1936, Little Rock, Ark.; m. Katheryn Brainard. Issue: (a.) Dorothy "Dolly" Haislip, m. Warner A. Williams. Resided, 1967, Panorama City, Calif.
b. Calvin Haislip. Worked for the Chicago Tribune. No issue.
c. Frances Haislip, m. (1) Jim Wilson; m. (2 Clinton A. Bowen. Issue: (a.) Haislip Wilson; (b.) Glen Bowen; (c.) Richard Bowen.
Jane's cousin Lillie Belle Young (the daughter of Manon Young's half brother Andrew Curtis Young), told the story that, during the war, Jane once "beat a yankee". This must have happened in April 1864, during Union General Steele's campaign in Arkansas, culminating in the Battle of Prairie D'Ane, not far from where Mary Jane was living at the time, near Bingen, Arkansas.
She died on 29 Aug 1908, and is buried in the Little Piney Grove Methodist Cemetery, Bingen, AR.
