Do you think they could have been twins? Susan ----- Original Message ----- From: Julie Cook To: GAFORSYT-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 11:59 PM Subject: Re: [GAFORSYT] Roll Call! Susan, This is one I can't quite get a handle on. I discussed it with Meredith several years ago, I believe. My William R. Brannon, born 1824 in Johnston Co, NC is shown on multiple census reports as being married to Mahala F. Pool. There are numerous church records listing Mahala Brannon. (I show F representing Frances) I can't figure out how Martha Patsy Pool, (daughter of Nathan and Margaret [Peek]) could be misinterpreted by a census taker as Mahala decade after decade. The middle name doesn't match either. I think that these are two different women but I haven't been able to figure out who Mahala's parents are. I was told by someone once that Mahala is the daughter of Nathan and Margaret Pool but I have my doubts. I'll be happy to share what I have if you think it would help. Julie "Susan Y.

Suan, I think Meredith just set us straight regarding to whom William R. Brannon was married. This makes so much more sense. I have seen the Dodd family bible records reproduced in one of the Georgia Genealogical Society Quarterly and knew without a doubt that Martha Patsy Pool had married John Dodd and that her father was Nathan Pool. I also knew there was never a mention of Mahala Pool in any of those records. I could never get the relationship, as it was told to me, to line up. Now I have a direction search. I guess you'll have to figure out if your gggAunt was Martha or Mahala. If she is Mahala, married to William R. Brannon I'll be happy to share any information I have that I know is correct.
