  	She is recorded as Mahala H. Edmonson (presumably Hansen). Look for Hansen in south-central Tennessee.

  Census	1866	Limestone, Alabama, United States   [4]

  	For some reason, there are two different sets of forms and enumerations for the 1866 census. One categorizes broadly, the other more narrowly and includes Civil War veterans and casualties.

  Family 1	John Favor,   b. 1763, Virginia, United States d. 1846, Limestone, Alabama, United States (Age 83 years)  [5]
  Marriage	28 Jul 1836	Limestone, Alabama, United States   [5]
  	In his will, he refers to her as Mahala A. Hansen. I have not yet found a marriage record of her to Lee. Presumably, though, she was born Hansen, married Lee, and then married Faver.

• Notes

  In John Faver's will he refers to her as Mahala Ann Hansen. In her marriage record to John Faver, it says Lee. I suspect she was born Hansen, married a Lee, married Faver. Then, in 1849, she married again to Covington Edmonson. In the 1850 census, she is listed as Mahala H. repeatedly, so that seems to be good evidence that she was born Hansen / Hanson.
