Mr. KITTS
Mahala __?__

Husband: Mr. KITTS

I'm assuming Mahala had a prior marriage, but it's possible that her apparent children were born out of wedlock.

Marriage:

Wife: Mahala "Malaley" __?__
Birth: 1834/5, TN
Spouse: m. 7 Sep 1859, Grainger Co., TN, Robert McMILLIN

Children — born in TN:

1. Martha KITTS, b. 1852/3
2. Lodusky KITTS, b. 1857/8

The implication of "(Unknown)" is that Mahaley is a widow, with maiden name unknown — but how could she not know her own maiden name? Was she, in fact, unmarried, which means her two children at the time were illegitimate. I was unable to find a previous marriage for her in the right time frame.
