Molsey Edenton HOLLEY (da. of Calvin HOLLEY and Mary MANCILL) was first married to Benjamin DOZIER (1825-1861), eldest son of Daniel DOZIER and Elizabeth TAYLOR. Molsey's second husband Hamilton PARRISH was one my ancestors--he and his first wife Belinda HANDLEY were my great-great-great-grandparents, through their daughter Elefare PARRISH (1840-1904) who married (first) to Jacob Perry MERRILL. Elefare and her sister Mary Jane "Sis" (Mrs. James SIMS) were, as far as I know, the only two of Hamilton PARRISH's children who stayed in Covington Co., AL when he and the others went to Texas.
