Betty and Nikki,
I would like you opinion of what I'm about to post.
I have a copy of a deed for land between William Eudy and others to Ransom Furr. This deed was for land conveyed to the heirs of Malachi Harwood. It is dated 30 Mar 1855 and is filed in Book 4 page 193-4-5 in Stanly Co. NC. It is signed by the following people:
Malachi Eudy, Wiley Hatley, William Eudy, Sabra Eudy, Hastin Hatley, Bashaba Hatley, Edmund Whitley, Susanna Whitley, Paul S. Furr, Sarah Furr, Martha Green, Heziah Harwood, Daniel Lowder, Elizabeth Lowder, Marza Harwood, Jacob Green, Mary Green,Elbert Green, Mary X _____, Sabra Green, John X ____
In the body of the deed is written: This Indenture made this 30th day of March AD 1855 between William Eudy and wife Sabra, Hastin Hatley and Barbaba his wife, Jacob Green and Mary his wife, Paul S. Furr and Sarah his wife, Maza Harwood, Wiley Hatley, Kiziah Harwood, Hardy Green and Abigail Green his wifes heirs (to wit) John Barba and Faraba his wife, Caleb Osborn and Mary his wife, Martha Green, Sabra Green, Jacob Green and Elbert Green all of the county of Stanly except John Barba of the county of Cabarras..of the first part...one hundred acres of land..... said party of the first part being the heirsof the said Malachi Harwood, decd....
This does not say that Maza Harwood was the wife of Wiley Hatley. It lists her and her sister, Kiziah seperately.
In the 1850 Stanly Co. census Mary Hendron Howard age 80 is listed as head of her house with daughters Macy age 40 and Kiziah age 30 at home with Caswell GREEN age 21 living with them. Next door are Hasten and Besheba Hatley. Two doors away are Paul and Sarah Furr.
In the 1860 Stanly Co. Census Kizzy HARWARD age 50 is head of the house with Mazy age 55 and Polly Green age 27, Omey GREEN age 9 and Mary M. GREEN age 4 living with them.
In the 1850 census Wiley Hatley age 54 has no wife listed. In 1860 He is 64 and his wife is Peggy age 45.
Now my question is this: Were there two Maza's in Malachi's family? I think Wiley probably married a daughter of Malachi Harwood possibly called Patty because everyone has her listed as Maza "Patty".But I also think that there was another Maza or else this wife of Wiley was not Maza.
I think that Maza and Kiziah Harwood never married.
Mary Harwood left a will in Stanly Co. NC dated 21 Apr 1849Book I page 135 It was probated in November Session of court in 1855. In it she leave all her personal property, goods and chattels, money and notes if any to Masa Harwood and Keziah Harwood.
Executors are Paul S. Furr and Chillis Almond. It was witnessed by John Furr and Hastin Hatley.
Please tell me what you think about this information. You can e-mail me directly if you wish. I'm researching the Furr and Hatley families from Stanly Co.
