Default Molly Brown tomato

I swear I've seen a Molly Brown tomato, but it's been several years. I was going to try growing it this year but now can't find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

I wonder if the Molly Brown was named for "The Unsinkable" Molly Brown?

A google search yields nothing on Molly Brown tomatoes, but there is an Aunt Molly's Ground Cherry (which rhymes). Maybe that's it?

Could it possibly be Mamie Brown's tomato that you're looking for?

It was Molly Brown, as in the Titanic survivor. I was wanting to grow it because I live near Hannibal, MO where she lived at one point. I wanted to share a couple of seedlings with our local Molly Brown historian.

I guess I must have dreamed this one up! I've searched high and low for it over the past month and come up with nothing.

Thanks for the help!
