Daughter of Franklin & Martha E (Bailey) Mote. Her father was born in Union Co SC to William & Sarah (Parr) Mott/Mote about 1828. Sarah was the daughter of Claiborn & Martha (Ivey) Parr. By 1840, the family had moved to Benton Co AL. Various family members can be found in Cherokee Co and Jefferson Co AL.
It is now believed that her father was the William F Mott who enlisted in Co K, 40th AL Infantry on 28 Aug 1862 by Jas Tarrant in Jefferson Co AL, also reported to have occurred in Talladega AL. On the same date, in the same location/s, Richard Mott & Thomas J Mott also enlisted in the same company & regiment. They were his brothers. It makes sense that the 3 brothers enlisted together. All 3 were captured at Vicksburg and paroled there. The Confederates were then given a 30 day furlough, after which they were to report to camps in their home state. Some did not, including William F and Thomas J. Their records show them as "deserted, near Brandon, Miss" on July 12, 1863. The parole date is July 9. It's unclear why the desertion date is 3 days later. Perhaps they were to go to their company first but went straight home for furlough instead. Regardless, William's records later state that he was captured in Cherokee Co AL and was a resident of that county. This is indeed where Franklin, and other family, lived before the war. In 1870, his wife and children, parents, brothers and other relatives had moved into Jefferson Co. His records further state that he was taken first to Chattanooga TN as a POW and then to Louisville KY as a POW. There he took the Oath of Allegiance to the United States with the notation that he was to remain north of the Ohio River for the duration of the war. He was listed as having a light shallow complexion, light hair, blue eyes and was 5' 8-9" tall. No further military, census or other record has been located.
Mary Jane's siblings were Sarah Elizabeth Mote Clark, Nancy Mote, William Thomas Motes, John Pinkna Mote, and Linsey Claiborne Franklin Mote.
Her father's siblings were Richard Motte, Martha Mote Dawkins, Nancy Mote, Thomas Mote, John Mote, James Clayton Motte, Rebecca Mote, and Joseph DeMancil Mote. Nothing is currently known of his mother's family.
She married Rev Thomas Russell Hulsey on 16 Feb 1875 in Jefferson Co AL. They were the parents of Millie Paralee, Joseph Franklin, James Bartley, William Thomas, Hilborn Whit, Ann Catherine Hulsey Garren, and Rebecca Elizabeth Hulsey Colvard.

The Progressive Age (Scottsboro, AL) - 5 Nov 1925
The friends of Mrs T R Hulsey in Jackson County will be grieved to learn of her death which occurred at Cullman on October 13th. She was the mother of seven children, five of whom survive her, four boys nd one girl. Her husband, Rev T R Hulsey, answered the call to the Great Beyond four years ago.
Mrs Hulsey was born April 27th, 1850, and at an early age dedicated her life to the "Lord" which name she always used in referring to Deity. Her frequent expressions were "The Lord is good to us," "He is kind and gracious," and "I am ready to go when the Lord calls me."
No sweeter and more valuable heritage could have been left her children than the memory of those frequent expressions acknowledging the Lord's goodness to his people.
She was a member of the Missionary Baptist Church and the devotion she exhibited for it is rarely seen in anyone. So long as her health permitted she was at every service of her church and her audible prayers to the Throne of Grace have led the feet of many a wayward boy into the paths of righteousness. Her whole life was as peaceful and pleasant as a river and her death was as one going to sleep.
We commend her children, relatives and friends for consolation to Him who orders all things for the best, and whose chastisements are all meant in mercy.
