Mahala Trammell

Mahala Trammell [4801], daughter of Jacob B. "Jake" Trammell [61] and Mary "Polly" Hogshead [62], was born in 1820 and died on an unknown date.

General Notes: Her nephew (Thomas J. TRAMMELL), in a written statement applying for Indian privileges, said Mahala could talk the Indian language.

Noted events in her life were:

•  She was involved in a court case on 18 Mar 1847 in , Macon Co, NC.¹ Mahala sued Andrew COLVARD for bastardy.  Andrew Colvard comes into court and confesses judgement for all costs and files bond with the court.

Mahala married Archebald Bateman [4802] [MRIN: 1711] on 12 Nov 1846 in , Macon Co, NC.² Archebald was born about 1809 in , , , Ireland and died on an unknown date. They had two children: Leander and Jacob V..

Marriage Notes: In the Macon County, North Carolina, Marriages book 1829-1939 compiled by James Wooley page 8 lists Archibald Bateman marrying Mahota Lambert Nov. 12, 1846.

Leander Bateman [6004] was born about 1851 and died on an unknown date.

General Notes: He left home and didn't return, probably killed.

Leander married Nancy Lasaphine "Lassie" Davis [5988]³ [MRIN: 2228], daughter of William M. Davis [4892] and Naomi Ray [4891], on 26 Dec 1872 in , Macon Co, NC.² Nancy was born on 5 Dec 1857, died on 12 Aug 1931 at age 73, and was buried in Aquone Baptist Cem., Macon, NC. They had three children: Harve L., Noami "Oma," and Martha.

Harve L. Bateman [6095] was born on 23 Oct 1882, died on 25 Dec 1909 at age 27, and was buried in Aquone Baptist Cem., Macon, NC.⁴ The cause of his death was train accident.

Noami "Oma" Bateman [6096] was born after 1883 and died on an unknown date.

Noami married W. N. "Bud" Hicks [6099] [MRIN: 2267]. W. was born on 27 May 1865,⁵ died on 15 Feb 1943⁵ at age 77, and was buried in Aquone Baptist Cem., Macon, NC.⁵

Martha Bateman [6097] was born about 1875 and died on an unknown date in , , Tx.

Martha married Robert Price [6100] [MRIN: 2268] on 27 Apr 1890 in , Macon Co, NC.⁶ Robert was born about 1860 and died on an unknown date.

Jacob V. Bateman [6110] was born in 1848.

Jacob married Celia Evans [6111] [MRIN: 2272] on 2 Apr 1871 in , Macon Co, NC.⁷  They had one son: John.

John Bateman [6109] was born before 1875 and died before 1903.

John married Thedisia F. "Docie" Yonce [6102]⁸ [MRIN: 2271], daughter of David A. Yonce [6006] and Albie M. Davis [5990], on 26 Nov 1899 in , Macon Co, NC.² Thedisia was born on 8 Dec 1878,³ died on 3 Sep 1961 at age 82, and was buried in Aquone Baptist Cem., Macon, NC.

Mahala next married Lambert [4803] [MRIN: 1712].  Interesting, Van Trammell was accused of murdering a Lambert over a heated argument about the Civil War.  Is this Lambert related to the murdered Lambert?  I bet it is. 

Mahala had a relationship with Andrew Colvard [4804] [MRIN: 1713]. Marriage status: unmarried.
