Mary Ludwig was also known as Molly Pitcher. Molly (Mary) was born in 1754 and died on January 22, 1832 at the age of 78.
Mary Hays, an important figure in the American Revolutionary era, died on September 27, 1833. She passed away in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Hays is often remembered for her contributions as a camp follower and for her role in supporting soldiers during the war.
Mary Ludwig was her real name. she used to carry pitchers of water to dehydrated soldiers in the battle of monmouth. thus the name 'Mary pitcher' or 'molly pitcher'. hope that helps!
She was delivering water during a war and she was running, got tired and stepped in front of a firing cannon.
Not a lot is known about John McCauley, Mary Ludwig Hays' second husband. History only records that he simply 'disappeared' sometime between 1807 and 1810 and that the time they spent together was not pleasant. His fate is not known.
Herbert Hays died in 1960.
Ethel Hays died in 1989.
