Solomon lived most of his life in Fayette Co., GA. Mahala was pregnant and possibly widowed at the time. She had married a John DESHAZER in Houston Co. on 01 July 1833. According to marriage records, she marries a Richard SMITH in Bibb Co., GA in August of 1834. Her children are seen on the 1850 census of Pike Co., GA in the home of her brother, Solomon (who had moved to Pike Co.). They were Aaron "Deshaser", Richard Smith, Jr., Elizabeth Smith, and John Smith. I don't know what happened to either of her husbands. The Smith children were born in AL. They must have been somewhere in AL in 1840. I Am a descendant of Palmer Neal DESHAZO (son of Aaron and Margaret Louise (WINTERS) Deshasier). Mahala's parents were Aaron and Sarah (Benson) WILLOUGHBY (b.ca. 1765 NC). Please respond!! I have information that I would love to share.
