Mary Jane's father, Hezekiah Robertson, was married twice. First to Anne Grantham. Anne died shortly after Hezekiah returned from service in Andrew Jackson's East Tennessee Volunteers in the War of 1812. He and Anne had 2 boys. He then married Anne's sister, Tabitha and went on to have 8 more children, 7 boys and 1 girl.
