Her death cert. lists her age as 89 & her occupation as a midwife. Dr J A McHaffey signed the cert. & W N Hughes was the undertaker. She was buried 9-27-1911.
From family sources, she came in a covered wagon to Ky through the Cumberland Gap from Va at age seven or eight. They had two cows & two horses tied to the tailgate of the wagon. Another story passed on of her was - she rode a horse, side-saddle, from Big Hill, Ky to Green Hall, Ky carrying a turning plow in her lap. She was a well-known mid-wife in the surrounding area of her home through her adult years, delivering many children. She died at the home of her daughter, Narcissis "Bowles" Strong (my g-grandmother), four days after delivering her last baby.
Through birth & census records - ten known children found. Until found I'll list those not linked. Mary Jane -b-8-7-1846 -m-Martin B Mahaffey -b-1-2-1839 -d-11-9-1902, Nancy, Annie Elizabeth -b-11-2--1853, William A, Sarah M -b-4-2-1858 -d-12-26-1876 -m-2-7-1876 John R Hurst -b-abt-1853, Isaac, Martha A, Narcissus, & Emma.
Many of the Mahaffey's through the years in the surrounding counties were known doctors.
