When we first developed this picture about 10 years or more ago, we thought this was Molly. This is actually a picture of ALETHEA PRESTON PINN.

The hoop skit is the give-a-away. They were out of style by the early 1870s when "Molly" was born. Thanks for the correction. Also where does the "Molly Pinn" name you've assigned to her come from? I've never seen it in any records associated with this individual. In most sources she is referred to as either Margaret or Mary. Ditto for Alethea Preston "Pinn." In most records she's either Preston or Colvin.
