I do have one Mary Jane Hightower listed in my FTM program: Descendants of Mary Jane Hightower          1       Mary Jane Hightower ..              +John Finley                  *2nd Husband of Mary Jane Hightower: ..              +Willis Battles No dates or further information on her. But, we can see that she was not yours.  Thanks for sharing the information.  I will keep it for any future researchers who might come along, and need to contact you.  About the only safe thing has been my FTM program!
