Frank; Thank you. I think I looked at the book once and couldn't find anything, but was hoping that I overlooked something. I have been very fortunate on my Malones and have a good connection from Richard to the present, but being ever greedy I need every bit of information I can glean. I have Sherryl Barger's book on Samuel Malone and Clarissa Hale and there were just too many coincidences there. For instance; Samuel Malones second wife was Martha Mariah Cullom and My gg-grandmother was Martha Malone Pyle and they named their yoingest child Mariah, so this Samuel Malone and my gggg-grandfather Samuel Wesley Malone Sr. and ggg-grandfather Samuel Wesley Malone Jr must have been closely related. Thanks for your response.

He was aware of Richard but had not included him in his book because he was not of the same line as the southern Malones. Frank piguy@goldrush.com
