    3. Dear Lincoln & Rockcastle Co. List Friends-- I wonder if any of you can help me decipher this mystery: Andrew & Julia King lived in Rockcastle Co. Ky. One of their many children was named Mollie. This info I rec'd from my gpa, recounting his gma's family. She is definitely not in the household in the 1880 census. I assumed she had married and moved from home by this time. This past weekend I visited Crab Orchard Cem. and came across a lovely tombstone with a carved sculpture in it. "Mollie King, wife of J.L. Yantis born <date> 1864 died <date> 1890" Right beside it was a little tombstone, "Infant son of J.L and Mollie Yantis. born and died Feb. <date>1890" Mollie died about 6weeks after giving birth to this little boy, probably from complicatons. I have found the marriage record for J.L. Yantis and Mollie King. They were married in Dec. of 1886 in Lincoln Co. Mollie's birth in 1864 fits in the timeframe to be the dau. of Andrew and Julia King. Also, one of Mollie's siblings named their daughter "Mollie", I assume as an honor to her. So it sure seems like I've found "the" Mollie King. But I don't have any concrete information. Could someone do a look-up of the marriage of J.L. Yantis and Mollie King to tell me who the parents were? Also, if you have any other info i.e. other children of this marriage I would appreciate it very much. Sincerely, mel
