Thank you so much for your help.
Jacob is in Calhoun County Mississippi living with McCool's which are his sisters's in-laws.He is listed as Jacob Mahatha.
He has children in NE TX, OK, and MS.He dies in 1909 and is buried in the Yeager, Hughes, OK cemetery.His family later moves to CA.
The family bible states that they changed their names from Mahatha to Mahaffey.My opinion is that is was originally Mahaffey and for some reason they went to Mahatha and then some changed it back to Mahaffey.
I will follow up on the Rhodes idea.I checked on the other researchers and some of it was my old stuff I had posted and the other was not my family.Thanks anyway.I've worked countless hours on this family and have not had a lot of success.Maybe someday!
Thanks again,
Shannon
