Shadrach Edward WALL married Mary
Jane HUFF. Mary Jane according to any official records is the daughter of
Leonard S. HUFF & Louisa ALLEN the widow WOOLFORD. However, this was a lie
and the government records are in fact incorrect. Leonard S. Huff
impregnated his step-daughter Elizabeth Perlina WOOLFORD who was sent away
to stay with relatives while she had the child (Mary Jane). After the
birth of Mary Jane, Leonard & Louisa raised Mary Jane as if she were their
natural daughter. Mary Jane only found out the truth when her jealous
half-sister Sarah HUFF GEE, upset over the dowry Leonard S. HUFF gave to
Shadrach & Mary Jane on their wedding day, told Mary Jane the truth. Mary
Jane went to Shadrach in tears asking if he wanted to call off the wedding
(he loved her <whew> or i wouldn't be here today). But I mention this to
point out how imprecise even government documentation can be. If Grandpa
Ernest WALL's sister Vida WALL HYDER had not told Mary Lou about the family
scandal it would be lost and we never would know the truth. Grandma &
Grandpa WALL were furious with Vida for telling Mary Lou, but Vida remained
firm, the kids had a right to know. So when "pro's" get all huffy that you
don't mind your P's & Q's the way they do I tell them this story. They
usually shut up at that point. My guess is they would dismiss this as
hearsay and mindlessly indicate Mary Jane's mother was Louisa ALLEN when in
fact Louisa was the grandmother. And so it goes...... (James E. Wall)
