Mahala Smith
According to census records, Mahala Smith, daughter of Nathan (1771-1827) and Rosannah Smith was born in "ME" on May 10, 1810.
Nathan was born in the Town of Manchester, Bennington County, MN. But after he married,he disappears from that area. Did he leave with other Manchester couples: Smith brother William? Smith Neighbors Josiah Foster?
Their daugher, Elect Smith was born on June 8, 1798, in the Town of Dorset, Bennington County, VT.
A numberof Nathan's children died young.
ButJohn C (born 1799), Mary Ann (1801), Ransom (1803), and Lewis (1811 - when Nathan returned to Manchester) state they were born "in Vermont"
But #8 - Mahala state that she was born in "ME" and that is the same information given my her children on later censuses.
Does anyone have any clews where I should look next?
