PLEASE REPLY TO [email protected] Recently I have had two people asking about a Mahala Holmes that lived in Ohio. Her name was Mahala or Mahalia Bryant b 25 Dec 1809 and she married a John Rush b 1807. Our line has a Mahala Holmes b 16 Nov 1819 who married a John Clark Rush b 29 Mar 1814. This is only for everyone's information - They seem to be two different families as John Clark Rush and Mahala never left Lawrence and Greene counties, Indiana. Here is another one in this same vein. Just recently this came over the Holmes e-mail. "Their son Henry Clay HOLMES b. 22May 1835, Kirkersville, Licking, OH, marr. 12Jun1860 in Janesville, Rock, WI Sarah Alice RICHARDSON b. 14Nov1841 in Janesville, Rock, WI." The above mentioned John Clark Rush and Mahala had a grandson named Henry Clay Holmes b 3 Feb 1853 in Perry, Lawrence, Indiana. He was the son of John Holmes and Mary Ann Nantz. He was married to Eliza Alice Ruthledge 30 Dec 1874 and died 20 May 1928 in same place. Would appreciate hearing from anyone with info on these individuals/families.
