  	"Mollie" Stewart Taken by Her Aunt Margaret
  	Margaret HAMILTON, the sister of Mollie STEWART's mother, had promised her sister just before her death that she would take care of the newborn Mollie. After Margaret married Elias FLETCHER in 1843 at age 18, she wanted to raise Mollie, then 5, but the uncle Mollie was living with in Kentucky did not want to give her up. Margaret arranged to take Mollie from her uncle and travel down the Kentucky River on a steamboat to visit other relatives for the day. On their return in the evening, Margaret ordered the boat not to stop at the wharf where the uncle was waiting for Mollie. Margaret then took Mollie to live with she and her husband in Palmyra, Missouri, raising her along with her own three children.
