A lot of people believe she might have been a woman named Mary Ludwig Hays McCauley. Molly was a common nickname for Mary. She married William Hays, a barber in Carlisle, PA, in 1769. Hays enlisted in the Continental Army in 1777 as an artilleryman. Molly became a camp follower at Valley Forge. She made food, cared for the sick and dying, and washed linens and clothes. In the spring of 1778 on hot days, artillerymen need water constantly to keep the cannon barrel cool. Water girls, including Molly, brought water back and forth continuously. It's during these times that Molly earned her famous nickname from soldiers shouting, "Molly! Pitcher!" At the Battle of Monmouth, her husband collasped from either wounds or heat exhaustion (it was close to 100o that day). Molly took over the cannon for her husband for the rest of the battle. George Washington issued her a warrant as a non-commissioned officer earning her the nickname "Sergeant Molly." She was married one more time after her husband died in 1786. She died 1832 at the age of 87.
