  Notes	From findagrave.com: from Watkins Woolen Mill State Park & State Historic Site: "Mary Ann Holloway was born in Jessamine County, KY in 1817 to Spencer and Catherine Holloway. Both of Mary Ann's grandfathers had fought to bring our country independence in the American Revolution. Mary Ann would live in Kentucky until she married Waltus Watkins in 1834 after a brief 6-week courtship. "Mary Ann would give birth to 11 children, 9 of which survived to adulthood. Letters written by her children and their friends give us a lot of insight into her personality. She appears to have been very loving. She was a notable needle woman and made fine lace, some of which still exists in the archives at the historic site. She was renowned for her cooking and also wrote poetry. Her duties as the wife of Waltus Watkins included raising her children, caring for boarders, and taking care of the garden and poultry, as well as all aspects of running the household. Mary Ann seemed to have remained in decent health until just shortly before her death in 1896." Her obituary referred to her as "one of God's noble people."
