Mary Elizabeth "Mollie" Hastings Green was my maternal great-grandmother. She was the 1st daughter and the 1st child of William Wallace Hastings and Margaret Ann Philpott Hastings. She married Willis Scoggin Green on Nov 26, 1876 in Bedford, TX, Tarrant Co. They had 4 sons and 8 daughters and 2 of the daughters died a day or two after their birth. The rest of the children lived to adulthood and raised families. Will and Mollie were among the first pioneers of Coleman Co. TX. They came to the county late in 1876, spending their first winter in a log cabin. The following spring Will hauled lumber by wagon and team from Ft. Worth to build their first house. When they first came to the eastern part of the county Indians were still plentiful in and around the mountains and hill districts. Travel after dark was dangerous, Mollie recalled. Will was nearly 55 years old at his passing and there were still young children at home for Mollie to continue to raise and still run the farm.
