Lowry, David , Life and labors of the late Rev. Robert Donnell of Alabama, minister of the gospel in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Alton, Ill. : S.V. Crossman, printer, 1867. Archive.org

Lowry, 1867, p. 11, states her nickname as 'Mollie'.

"His mother's maiden name was Bell. She was the daughter of Samuel Bell, the great grandfather of Hon. John Bell, of Tennessee. Samuel Bell was an elder in the Presbyterian church, and died on his knees, while praying in his family. His wife discovered that his voice faltered, and rose from her knees and went to him. He was barely able to speak, but said in broken accents, " Mollie, what is this ; is it death?"—and immediately expired. Mr. Donnell's mother had five brothers : Samuel, Francis, James, Thomas and Robert. The Donnells and Bells formed a large connexion ;and were much respected for their moral worth and standing as citizens, and were generally members of the Presbyterian church."
