Weldon-Funeral Services for Mrs. Molly Maxey, 84, were held at Antioch Baptist Church with Rev. James Scott officiating. Burial was an Antioch cemetery. Survivors include six daughters, Mrs. Georgia Evans of Houston, Mrs. Ola West of Lovelady, Mrs. Villa McManners of Huntsville, and Mrs. Joe Tullos, Mrs. Wallace Adams, and Mrs. Charlie Adams, all of Weldon; three sons, Eldon Maxey of Weldon and Preston and C.R. Maxey, both of Longview; three sisters Mrs. Curlee Crowson of Texas City and Mrs. Bud Stewart and unknown, both of Livingston, and 35 grandchildren, 52 great grandchildren, and six great great grandchildren.
Her family history is a bit of a mystery to my family. I have done some research, I believe her parents are William Christopher Columbus Roberts (FAG # 47645578) and Rebecca A. Price b. 1848 Butler Co., Alabama d. 1881 Houston Co., Texas. William and Rebecca were married 7/17/1873 Polk Co., Texas. After Rebecca's death, William married her sister Pennie Jane Price.
In the Polk Co., Texas 6/19/1880 Census, it lists a W. C. Roberts (29), wife Rebecca A. (30), daughter Mary J.(5) and son David L. (2/12).

I believe Mollie's name to be Mary Jane Roberts. It is known by my family that her maiden last name is Roberts.

The Oktibbeha Co., Mississippi 7/12/1860 Census, lists:
Sanders Roberts (32), wife, Martha (31), children:
William (10), John (8), Thomas (7), George (4), & Emma (2), & Nancy Miller (probably Martha's sister) (21).
John Sanders Roberts b. abt. 1827 North Carolina d. Bef. 1870 Louisiana/Texas.
Martha Frances Miller b. Oct. 1828 Alabama d. Bef. 1870 Louisiana/Texas.

The Butler Co., Alabama 11/23/1850 Census,lists:
