No record available for transcription Notes for 1860 census: Robert must have died b efore this census Mary has married Christopher Columbus Barlow At least one researcher shows that Wm has died, so without proof, I have another possiblity, though it is not proven Notes for 1870 cen sus: Isaac must have died before this census. I do not find him or Almanza anywhere In Lawrence or Simpson Co for 1870, but reseachers show that Almanza was living and that she married E. Herri ng In 1874. Phebe has marry William Wilson. Nancy has married John Taylor Eliza has married Benjamin F. Davis Brown is Albert G.B. Notes for 1880 census: I do not known the date of Phebe's marr iage to Wm Wilson, but since she was not In the 1870 census with her parents, I assumed she had married. If so, then apparently Wm died, or they were divorced, as she is back In the parents home I n this census, using the Mahaffey name. The grandchildren may be her children but I don't know the reason why they would be carrying the Mahaffey name. * Children of John T. Mahaffey and Mary L owe are: 1. Susannah M.

ocate them In any census record index for Lawrence, Simpson or Hinds Co In 1870. William Wilso being such a common name, it would take a lot of searching to find them, especially not having any da tes to go on. Phebe was not In the 1870 census with her parents, but was back again In 1880, still using the Mahaffey name. I have not checked census for 1900. ** ** 8. Robert T. Mahaffey b. 1849 Simpson Co., MISSISSIPPI apparently died before 1860, as he is not listed In that census. ** ** 9. Tamer / Dinah Mahaffey, born April 07, 1850 and died September 05, 1939.

Herrin / Herring on August 2 5, 1874 In Lawrence Co., MISSISSIPPI ** I wonder if she ever used the name Alexandra, or the census taker may have even misunderstood the pronunciation of the name. The 1880 census of Lawrence Co shows an E. Herring and wife, Alexandra, living next to John T. and Mary Mahaffey. Shown to be age 23, she would be In the right age range, they had 3 children, the oldest, Christianity, age 4, would have been born In a time frame fitting with the date of marriage. The other 2 children, Mary, age 2, and Ellic, age 7 months. **** ** 12.
