Well, I hope you are able to figure it out someday soon... =)
I suddenly remembered that I also have a 'Mystery Woman', who is also an aunt. It says on the back that she is my g-grandmother's sister, but that was written by her granddaughter when she was a grandmother, so maybe she got it wrong? At any rate, I've not had any luck finding a Mary/Mollie and Mattie(Martha?) sister combination in the right place at the right time that couldn't account for the Mary/Mollie...

Hello Loralee, Thanks for your interest. My Grandmother Lydia  grew up in Candor, NY, Lydia's parents did not have any siblings named Ellen . I have been wondering about an Ellen Jacobs in my tree related to my Grandmother Lydia's Father's side Robert Hover. Robert's  father Solomon married a Jane Jacobs.  Ellen  Jacobs is not closely related To Jane Jacobs. But so far this  Ellen is the only possible relative. she was been 1841 in Candor, NY .

It says 'Aunt Ellen' just above the very clear 'Ellen?'. It's just very sloppy writing.
Where did your grandmother grow up? Did either of her parents have a sister named Ellen, or perhaps married an Ellen?
