The 1840 census shows my great grandfather Allen Edgemon living in Bradley, TN, with his wife and children. His wife was Mahala Webb who was born in Tennessee. I have been unable to find who her parents were. She is said to have been part Cherokee Indian, and they were living in the south part of the county near Red Clay. About 1848 they moved to Catoosa County, Georgia. She could have been from Meigs, White, Rhone, or Rhea Counties as well as from Bradley. Would appreciate any help or suggestions on Mahala's parents and siblings.
