    I must question the validity of this story based upon the fact that Marie Josephine Juzan Hollinger would have been 58 years old (born in 1766 according to the Find a Grave link imbedded in the article) at the time of Lafayette’s visit in 1824. Perhaps Lafayette was referring to her daughter??

      Hmmmm… you don’t think that the celebrated French general could have found a woman of that age extraordinarily beautiful? There have been a number of folks who might have disagreed with you!

    This Adam Hollinger was not at fort Mims. If I recall correctly he died in 1808 and was buried in washington county. His son William Hollinger was at Fort Mims and survived and had a cattle ranch and farm in Monroe County his death around 1850.

    Technically she is buried in Mobile’s oldest cemetery that we can see. My wife’s 7th ggf was buried somewhere in Mobile in 1716.
