Hello lora,
It is a bit early, but locale and names make it worth checking out.
In my database, I have a Margaret WIGGINS (dimunutive variants: Mollie, Maggie, Marge), who married Robert BAILEY in Dallas County, TX 10 Dec 1868.
I also have a Molly WIGGINS born in 1857 in Monroe Co., AL the daughter of Adam WIGGINS and Mary Ann WARD.Coincidentally, there is an Adam WIGGINS, also from AL living in Yell Co., AR in 1850.They are definitely two different Adam's for one is in Monroe Co., AL in 1850 & 60, while the other is in Yell Co., AR those years.
Check for other records in which your Mollie appears to verify her birth year as 1857.
Remember too, that everything now in Arkansas that is West of the Arkansas River was before 1860, part of the Indian Territory.
Good Luck !
Houston
