Pati, I'm interested in the given name Mahala. I have a Mahala although it is not in the Howell line: In fact on the opposite side of the family. She was Mahala RIGGS m. Elkanah LEWIS in Surry Co NC. Do you connect with either of these surnames, through HOWELL or NEWLAND? Okay, it's only a shot in the dark. One of my brick walls, I can't get back farther than Mahala Riggs, early 19th C.
