SECOND WIFE Mary Kellett, oldest daughter of Joseph and Jeanette Kellett. Mary Kellett Mahaffey married Thomas Babb after death of Martin Hugh Mahaffey in 1793. She married Thomas in 1794. BURIAL I have seen some records say" Buried in Rabun Creek Baptist Church Cemetery with graves marked by hand-hewed native stone with chieseled name." Another contributor has said this cemetery not old enough for this to be true. E. M. Mahaffey does have chieseled stone of later date.Most likely burial place is Babb-Kellett Cemetery.
