Orrin and Mahala
Hi!
I am trying to find the right parents for Mahala Van Dusen,married to Orrin Bennitt of NY.In the 1870 or 80 census I have her as being born in KY, by family members.In other places I have her as being born in Ohio.There were 2 Mahalas. They were only 1 yr apart. The one from KY is from an Abraham and his wife was related to the Hootens. Which I heard my grandmother talk of many times of us being related to the Hooten families. The other Van Dusens her mother was Chloe Atizer Fuller. I can not recall his name. But they were from OH. I believe that Mahala from OH was born in 1824 and the one from KY was born 1825.
ANy help form realtives would be most helpfull. Thank you. Linda
