Hello, again..I just posted re: your post on Mahala.
There were actually 3 Mahala's...The dtr of Mahala Jane Ratcliff-Pittser..her last
child, was named for her.
This younger Haley J/b:Howard Ind/1856, married James W. Wells in Hickory Co.,MO (same
area the others I posted abt were, at the time). There's not much on Mr Wells, but I
think his family was from Ky..Mr Wells "disappeared" and her 2nd marraige was to
a widower, George Willis Wright b:Green Co.,Ky, f/m:Levi/Eliza Wright. Info on these 2
men is lacking. Her 3rd marraige was to James Alexander Holder, in Hickory Co.,MO., where
he shows to have been b:Nov/1855.
He died and she m: Mr.P.Ben Jones who was also b:KY, Columbus Ky..Mar/1856. They were
early settlers:Ralston,OK.
Her mother, Mahala Jane Ratcliff's parents: Edom Ratcliff and Rachel Cashatt, per
family historian, B.Thompson, who wrote a geno book on all these folks. The Ratcliffs
were living in Highland Co.,Ohio when their dtr m:AJPittser, d/o John & Liz
Piper/Pifer. Previously, of Berkley Co.,VA.
Note: Mr.Holder had a son, from a previous marraige, who married a Ms Shookman. Mahala
J.Pittser-Wright was in the Holder hh for one census, after Mr. Wright ?died?..
Thanks..maybe something will strike a chord with someone.
