Our Paternal Great-Great Grandfather was "Doc" Malone. Born in OHIO @1850, we have no record of his parents or other family members. He traveled to TRINIDAD, LAS ANIMAS COUNTY, COLORADO around 1867-1870. He married in Trinidad to (?) @1875, there is no record to date of his wife's name but it was possibly SOPHIA. Doc Malone's wife was of Spanish and possibly Ute Indian extraction. It is probable she was born in or near to Trinidad. There were three (3) known children, DAVID(?), SOPHIA, & STEVEN(?). Sophia was our Great-Grandmother. She was born on 22OCT1878 in Trinidad, Las Animas Co, Colorado. Sophia (aka SOPHIE) married to RICHARD FIELDS HOFF in Trinidad @1895. Richard F. Hoff was the (only known) son of FIELDS & ELIZABETH GOWEN HOFF, born @12APR1861 (from death certificate) in GAINESVILLE, COOKE COUNTY, TEXAS. Richard and Sophia Malone moved to the Oklahoma/Indian Territory shortly after their marriage and settled in McCLAIN COUNTY near the town of PURCELL. All of their children were born in McClain County. They were: (1)THEODORE b: @1896 Purcell, IT (Indian Territory); (2)MARY REBECCA b: 02SEP1897 Purcell IT, m: WALTER EVERETT RITTER in McClain County, d: 08MAR1966 in GUTHRIE, LOGAN CO. OK ; (3) ELMER "DOC" b: @1899 Purcell IT, m: MISS EVA (?); (4) GEORGE b: 1901, McClain Co IT, m: OPAL (?); (5) an infant daughter, born dead 1903, buried in the McClain County CEMETARY; (6) WALTER"JACK" b: JAN1907 McClain Co IT, m: LULU MAY; (7) DAVID "DAVE" b: JAN 1913, McClain Co State of Oklahoma, m: RITA(?). Dave is still living; (8) HENRY (HUFF Henry's last name was misspelled when he enlisted for WWII, he never corrected it) B: 21JUN1916 in COLBERT TOWNSHIP, McClain County OK, m: ANN (?) (*note Ann was murdered near Guthrie, OK in 1964, her murderer was never caught), Henry is still living; (9) HAZEL b: APR1918 Colbert Oklahoma. Hazel married two perhaps more times, only known husband was ALBERT ROWDEN. Hazel was last known to be living in Arizona or New Mexico. The last known contact from her was 1954/55. One of Sophia's brothers also moved into the Oklahoma territory at the same time as Richard and Sophia did, possibly moving with them. He eventually settled near TULSA, and his descendants are possibly still there, however all recent attempts to locate them have failed. Neither Dave nor Henry Hoff/Huff is well enough to help fill in the blanks. We would appreciate any assistance. Evelynne Davis Ritter Guthrie, OK
