Simeon Perry Bryan and Mahala Jane Reedy Marriage: 22 November 1846, Madison County, Alabama.162

Mahala Jane Reedy3,50,162, daughter of Phillip Reedy and Elizabeth ,. Birth: about 1813, Alabama. The IGI marriage record lists her name as Mahala Jane Rudy. I believe it much more likely that her name was Mahala Jane Reedy. The IGI record in question is a transcription from the Madison County, Alabama marriage book. It would very easy to mistake the "ee" for a "u" if the loops in the e's were not made distinctly. (RGB)
