I just wanted to thank everyone for their response to my query. I have looked at this George and Mahala Jennings before as possible parents for my Nancy Quesenberry, but the dates just don't fit. Nancy was married to William H. Stewart 1857 in Lee Co. Her parents are listed as George and M. A. Quesenberry. Nancy and her brother Miles Quesenberry were listed as being born in Grayson Co on the 1870 Lee Co census. While Nancy was married to William her reported birthdate from her marriage record and the 1860 Census indicate she was born abt 1825, but after she was widowed the 1890 and 1900 Census for Lee Co indicate her birthday as May 1812. Either way this George and Mahala couldn't be their parents unless they were married after they had children, after all Nancy was an unwed mother herself before marrying William. I have in my notes that Dicy Quesenberry daughter of George Q who married William Phillips was born 1837. That would make her only 8 years old when she got married. I don't think that birthdate is right. So either Dicy has been hooked to the wrong George, or George and Mahala did have children before they were married. Is Mary a nickname for Mahala? Does anyone happen to know where this George and Mahala were in 1850? I would appreciate any info on these families. Thanks, Leslie
