She was born at Odena Plantation near Sylacauga during the Civil War, the daughter of Capt. John Oden and his second wife, Catherine (Kate) Crumpler.

She was named for Miss Mollie Ragan Macgill, of Hagerstown, Maryland, later Mrs. Rosenberg of Galveston, Texas.
Miss Mollie Macgill and her father, Dr. Charles Macgill (1806-1881), took Capt. John Oden into their home after he was wounded at Sharpsburg, the Battle of Antietam. The Macgills tended his wounds and later helped him to return South after his convalescence. The Macgills were Unionists but with decided Confederate sympathies. Mollie's brother was Confederate General James MacGill of Pulaski, Virginia, whose first wife was a niece of Gen. J.E.B. Stuart and whose second wife was a daughter Gen. Ambrose Hill.
