Mary Luisa was the second child born to William Morgan and Sarah Frances Jennings. She was a small child during the Civil War and the reconstruction period after the War.
The 1870 Census states that she was working on the family farm, on the 1880 Census we find that she was a worker at a cotton mill, that was located at Cottondale, Alabama, near the Jennings Farm. The mill was operated by steam made from coal burning, some of the employees were spinners, weavers, folders, firemen, coal diggers and haulers, and also blacksmiths. Mary Luisa's wages were a great help in supplementing the family's income.
About 1884, Mary Luisa, along with her family moved to Texas, finally settling in Leon County, Texas. Here she met and married Robert B (Bob) Story. They were married on 22 January 1896. They were parents of two daughters, Warnetta Viola and Selena Alma Story.
Bob and Mary moved to Houston County, Texas about 1900, living on the Trinity River near the Alabama Ferry Crossing. The family was living in the Wesley Chapel Community in 1913, when Uncle Bob was killed by a horse. He is buried in the Jennings family plot, per Wade Jennings, his nephew.
After her husband's death, Mary lived with her sister, Nancy, a widow and her widowed mother, Sarah Frances Jennings in the Wesley Chapel Community.
In 1923, the family went to West Texas to pick cotton, while on this trip Mary became ill and died. She is buried in an unknown cemetery in Olney, Young County, Texas.
