poor woman recollected one particular hymn, and going along the lines of refugees started to sing: “Allein, and doch nicht ganz allein Bin ich”---- It was there that a tall girl sprang from the crowd, and fell into her mother’s arms. The reunion was complete and Regina spent the remainder of her life ministering to her mother’s comfort at their humble home in Northern Berks County. After her mother’s death she lived alone, becoming known locally as a saint, through manifold deeds of goodness and charity. Now she rests in an unmarked grave, and later historians have attempted to class her as a myth, alongside of “Molly Pitcher,” who luckily has been rescued from such obloquy by the prompt action of the Pennsylvania Legislature and Governor Brumbaugh. In 1916, when the handsome bronze monument to Mary Ludwig, known as “Molly Pitcher,” a real daughter of the American Revolution, was unveiled in the old Cemetery at Carlisle, her identity was made sure by the engraving of all her names, and her sobriquet, on the front of the granite pedestal, so that she may rank for all time as one of the greatest of Pennsylvania heroines. Mary Ludwig, known as “Molly with the Pitcher” and “Molly Pitcher,” was born in the Palatinate, but brought as a small child by her parents to Berks County; later they moved to the Cumberland Valley, where Mary became a servant in the home of Colonel William Irvine. At the time of the Revolution she was the wife of Sergeant Casper Hays; at the battle of Monmouth, when her husband, a cannoneer was wounded she successfully took charge of the cannon; and later when relieved carried water to the soldiers under fire. It is said that General Washington was an observer of her bravery, and made her a sergeant by brevet. In the battle, one of her former admirers, a man of wealth and position, was given up for dead, and tossed into a trench for burial the next morning. Despite the fatigues of the day, Molly crept out at dead of night, and carried him back to the lines, and helped to nurse him back to health. After the war she returned to Carlisle, where Sergeant Hays died; later she married Sergeant Jerry McCanley, a semi-invalid from shell shock. In her later years she scrubbed the marble floors of the Court House at Carlisle, unable to support her helpless husband and children on a pension of $40.00 per year. For further information concerning this remarkable woman see the article by Rev. C. P. Wing, in “Pennsylvania Magazine,” 1879, Volume III, and Judge E. W. Biddle’s scholarly address delivered at the time of the dedication of the monument. Among the lesser known Pennsylvania heroines, Somerset County is justly proud of Peggy Marteeny, the daughter of Henry Marteeny, an old soldier of the Revolution, of Huguenot antecedents. During an attack by Indians along the old Forbes Road, Peggy was riding her spotted Spanish pony through the woods when she came upon a white man, badly wounded, and badly frightened,
