I have pictures of Mahala and her husband Adam. I am descended from her brother Israel.
Mahala was the daughter of Adam Carman and Hannah Dean, granddaughter of Jacob Carman and
Rachel Weeks and great-granddaughter of Adam Carman and Philadelphia Titus. Beyond that
things get somewhat sketchy. I have my own assumptions but I cannot say they are proven.
