Hi:
I just signed onto this list. I've been looking for information on a Mollie
FORSHAY. She was a Navada Lady of the Evening in her day. She stab a man named Tom Kelly
in 1872. Was sent to the Nevada State Prison for 27 years where she gave birth to a set of
twins. She said the prison warden was the father.
I found her on the 1880 Nevada census that she was born in 1857 in Pennsylvania. I have
a lot of newspaper articles about her trial. What I am trying to find is who her parents
were, what happened to her when she got out of jail and what happen to the twins?
I found where you can go to the Nevada State Library & Archives at 100 N. Stewart
St, Carson City and view the prison records. I found her listed: Mollie Forshay 0100 1872
NSP-0002.
I went to the RAOGK, but there was nobody listed for Carson County. So my only hope is
through this list. I have been trying everything to find the information on her for the
last 3 years. She is my BRICK WALL.
Any help on this research will be greatly appreciated.
