Hi Danny, I am also searching Shores info in NC. Wondering which Mahala is mine. I have
found three of them. I hope the following info that I have cut and pasted is not as
confusing to you as it is to me...haha The Mahala I have found seems to be a lady of
mystery. I have not seen a John Shore, but am going to seek out info on him. I think my gg
grandfather Fred Thomas Shores was born in NC. I think Mahala Riley (b. 1834 NC may be his
mother). He was married to Mary Borsum. Will check back here to leave/get info. good luck!
