Mary Ludwig was born to a German family in Pennsylvania. There is some dispute over her actual birth date. A marker in the cemetery where she is buried lists her birth date as October 13, 1744. Mary had a moderate sized family that included her older brother Johann Martin, and their parents, Maria Margaretha and Hans Georg Ludwick, who was a butcher. It is likely that she never attended school or learned to read, as education was not considered necessary for young girls during this time.

  • Mary Ludwig was born to a German family in Pennsylvania. There is some dispute over her actual birth date. A marker in the cemetery where she is buried lists her birth date as October 13, 1744. Mary had a moderate sized family that included her older brother Johann Martin, and their parents, Maria Margaretha and Hans Georg Ludwick, who was a butcher. It is likely that she never attended school or learned to read, as education was not considered necessary for young girls during this time. In Carlisle, Pennsylvania, while working as a servant for the wife of Dr. William Irvine, Mary met William Hays, a barber. They were married in 1769. Continental Army records show that William Hays was an artilleryman at the Battle of Monmouth in 1778. (It is often mistakenly reported that Mary's first husband was named John; however, this was the name of her second husband.) On July 12, 1774, in a meeting in the Presbyterian Church in Carlisle, Dr. William Irvine organized a town boycott of British goods as a protest of the British which was called the Tea Act. William Hays' name appears on a list of people who were charged with enforcing the boycott.
