This is in the Genform message board under MELLOWN........they are connected to my MELLOWN {MALONE} but dont know how....probably through my great great grandfather......This makes the search for the MALONE {MELLOWN} ANCESTORS hard.......because of the pronounciation are alike......and most of the MELLOWN'S could read or write and relied on others to write for them .......My grandfather was born with the name JAMES MEADOW MELLOWN.......when he died in 1969.......he was known as & buried with the name JOHN MEADOW MALONE........ Kim Malone Morris Looking for additional info on my gg-grandfather, John MALONE (name is spelled MELLOWN in mariage records). The following is basically all I know of him. 1) found on 1870 census - Polk Co., TX 2) born ca. 1840, possibly in TX 3) married Charlotte Elizabeth GAY, 25 Dec 1867, Nacogdoches Co., TX Their children: William Calvin MALONE ('Cal') b. Apr 1865, Elbert Eli MALONE ('Eb') b. 28 Sep 1867, and Solomon MALONE b. Mar 1870. Charlotte Elizabeth marries again in 1876 (to James OWEN/OWENS, and again in 1886 to John CARTER). New information indicates that the couple may have split-up. Solomon was unknown to the desecendants of William and Elbert, so he either died young or went with John if there was a seperation. Descendants of William heard that William and Elbert were seperated for a time as children. Descendants of Elbert heard that John had returned on horseback, swooped Elbert up and carried him off. Elbert said that was the last he ever saw of his mother. So, what happened to John MALONE? Did he remarry and have another family? Also, who were his parents? Thanks for any information. : Linda Mearse mailto:lm@corridor.net ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Coslett <dcoslett@brazosport.cc.tx.us> To: <MALONE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 22, 2000 5:24 PM Subject: [MALONE-L] JOHN MALONE ATTENTION: Steve Upton Where and when did you have a John Malone in Texas? My John J. Malone was on the 1870 Polk County Texas Census. He was 30 years old and was listed with wife Charlot, 26 years born in Alabama, and 3 sons born in Texas: Calvin, 4 years, Elbert, 2 years, and Solomon, 3 months. Elbert was my grandfather, so I have quite a bit of information on him. One of Calvin's descendants sent me information on him. We think Solomon must have died at an early age. Please contact me if any of this sounds familiar. Marilyn ==== MALONE Mailing List ==== Have you posted your information to MALONE-L lately? Send mail to: MALONE-L@rootsweb.com
