Molly
Daring, kind, determined, strong-hearted
Wife of Bannaaky, mother of Mary and three other daughters
Freedom, obstacles, triumphs
Strong, honest, sad
Loving her family
Nothing more than her family
Her all in everything
Some of her neighbors, the law, death
Slavery abolished
Raising her kids
Bonnet when it is sunny in the fields
New World, Maryland
Walsh/Bannaky

I like your poem very much, but I don't know who this person is. You have inspired me to google!
