I'm going to be brave and state that Mahala's maiden name was Buckner and not Allen. There is some indication that she had a previous marriage. Henry's first wife was Sarah Buckner, but I don't think Mahala and Sarah were sisters. Most sources say her maiden name was Allen.
See the 1860 Census for Greene County, Indiana. [1] Mahala Buckner is in that family.
Mahala uses the surname Buckner as her maiden name in the marriage record of her daughter, Sarah Lucy Workman. [2]
