Who Was the Real Person Molly Hatchet?

[harryted]

I recently learned that the band "Molly Hatchet" took its name from a
19th century Southern prostitute that beheaded her clients. It
sounded like a cool story to me. Does anyone know if there's a book
or a magazine article about the woman Molly Hatchet?

below are the words of Dave Hlubek(Founder and lead
gutarist/songwriter and original member of Molly Hatchet.

The following was taken from an interview.

Dave: A friend of ours went to University Of Florida in Gainesville.
Bobby Maddox was his name. This was long before Danny Joe. He was
singer number 5. Bobby Maddox was singing before him. He was a real
Mick Jaggar type. We were looking for a name for the band. We were
wanting to work. There were around 12 rock and roll clubs in the
Jacksonville area in the 70’s. You could make a hell of a living. By
the time you made your way through the 12, it was time to start all
over again. We were changing the name of the band every two weeks.
Nobody knew who the fuck we were! They would just get used to the name
of the group, and we would finish the twelfth club and start over as
the fucking Imbeciles or something! People would not know who we were.
This is the same band that packed the place a few weeks before.
Finally, we said, ‘this is bullshit! We need to come up with a name
for the group!" There were six of us in the band. We took a John Deere
Tractor hat and everybody came up with three names apiece and put them
in the hat. We did it like the lottery. We said that whatever name was
pulled out of the hat, by God, was going to be the name of the band,
and that’s it! Well, the 18th name, the only one left, was Molly
Hatchet! We said, ‘What the fuck is that?’ It started out, ‘Molly
Fucking Hatchet.’ Everyone was saying, ‘Whose the girl in the band?’
People of Jacksonville took it upon themselves to start making bumper
stickers. We just kept the name. Who in the hell is Molly? It’s like,
what’s in a name! Molly was an axe murderous. Her name was Abigail
something. The history books called her Hatchet Molly. She was some
passion killer. Some kinda ruthless bitch that was incestuous with her
father. Hmm, sounds like most of the guys in the band....... with
their fathers!!!! I don’t know!!!! (laughter) And what else did you
want to know ??? Did you find out what you wanted to know??

I spent some time living near Salem, MA in the mid 90's. According to legend around those parts, told to me in back alleys and bars, Molly Hatchet is an old wives tale from the American Civil War. Basically, a Union Soldier's wife would tell her husband of the story of Molly Hatchet who was a prostitute that frequented the Union camps during the war. She would entice her "John" to come have sex with here in a secluded area then she would be head them with an axe and take there money.
Anyhow, the point was that the Union wives told this story to their husbands in order to give them faithful. I imagine that the conversation went something like, "You'd better be faithful to me in the South, Ed Harley, or Molly will get you". Or "Pumpkinhead" will get you , I might be confused...

Oh yeah, to the effing twat using the N word in this thread. Take a bow, you are a racist turd that hides behind the internet instead of speaking their mind in public. Go away now, your mom just called down into the basement to let you know their her "meatloaf" is ready for you to eat.
