She was first married 20 Dec 1889 to Robert A. McCORMACK in Limestone Co., AL. The family had four children, 1) Nina (1890-1902), Fletcher L. (1892-1900), James "Jimmy" Foster (1894-1984), and Lillian Roberta "Robbie" McCORMACK (1897-1918). Robert A. McCORMACK died just a few months before his daughter Robbie was born.
Mary Jane then married 26 Dec 1900 Robert Hellom ALLEN in Limestone Co., AL. Between 1910 and 1918, the family moved to Sheffield, Colbert Co., AL. Mary Jane and Robert H. ALLEN had no children together.
Although her tombstone says that she was born in 1870, I've posted her birth year as 1869 for several reasons,
1) family researchers have the year as 1869,
2) 1870 census (stamped 9 Sep 1870) has her as 10 months old which would put her birth at Nov 1869,
3) and 1880 census has her as 11 years old.
I've kept her birth month as November, despite family researchers birth month listed as September, because of the 1870 census and her 1900 census which has her birth as Nov 1870.
Much of the above info comes from Mary Jane's granddaughter's research.
