I am trying to connect several folks with the surname of Mahala. I have not been able to get a good line on this name. There are several Mahala descendents that still live in Ashe Co. (Creston) NC. I have not been able to connect Susannah Mahala to these folks. Susannah Mahala m. John Sluder (marriage may have been in Rowan or Buncombe Co. NC) They are shown in Ashe Co. 1850 Census with the correct children and correct ages. Any info on any Mahala line would be helpful. There are very few with this surname on the web. I will be happy to share what I have on this line.
Thanks,
Chris

I know some Mahalas in Rowan County, NC (??). I don't know if its recent or historical that you are looking for.

I am interested in any info you have on the Mahala family. I am looking for Harriet Elizabeth Mahaley/Mahala m. Johathan James Sluder in 1810 in Rowan Co. NC.

Jonathan and Elizabeth's son, John m. Susannah Mahala. I have her birthdate abt. 1807 in NC, but do not know what part of NC. John and Susannah moved to Ashe Co about 1840-1850. I found John and Susannah as well as his parents, Jonathan James and Harriett Elizabeth in the 1870 Ashe Co. census as living next door.

I have a lot of info on the Sluders, but I do not have any connection to the Mahaley/Mahala women. I also can use help with current Mahala line in the area of Johnson Co. TN, Ashe Co., NC or the border counties of VA. I will be glad to share any info you need.
Thanks,

you can email me at jerridog@yahoo.com for
more info. what I know is of the living ones
and where they are. this info may or may not
be of any use to you, but if you contact me I'll
tell you what I know. I am just now starting
to do research and have not started to compile
anything yet.

Chris, I am also looking for the Mahala's. I know that one of the Mahala line married a Sluder, I just don't remember which one. Some of the Mahala's I am looking for are: Jonah, Jesse James, Jesse Calloway Mahala, and Caleb. I have some info, but not enough. I have been collecting info on this family for about a month, and need to put all my notes together. If I run across what you are looking for, I'll send it to you. You can mail me at lmills@cnw.com.

Hello I may have some info. you are looking for I'm a direct decentant of the mahala's and they were 2 Mahala's married to Sluders.

Anita

I can help you with the Mahala's in NC and maybe some in Tn. I am from a direct line of Mahala's. I know who Susan and Harriet are. Anita

Hi Anita, Nice to hear from you. I work with a direct descendent of the Mahala's, in fact her maiden name was Mahala. I do have quite a bit of info, I knew one of them was married to a Sluder. Maybe we could exchange info? I would rather do it by personal e-mail.
