I am new to the list. I am descended from the Malones of VA and TN. Unfortunately by line is left off most researchers lists as my ancestor was already married by the 1850 census and not picked up as a daughter of William L. MALONE and Sarah Shelby WEATHERRED. I have a copy of a court document filed in Tipton Co, TN after William's death which lists Sarah Frances Leetch in the list of heirs. William L. as son of Hallery Malone. She was SARAH FRANCES MALONE (Fanny) born about 1832 in Sumner Co. Married Aug 1849 to William K. Leach (correct spelling is LEETCH) in Sumner Co. They moved to Maury Co., TN. She and Wm K. Leetch left for Texas ab 1871-1872 and died in route. Their children are found in 1880 Woodruff Co., Ark census without the parents. The children moved on to Navarro County, TX by 1900. My grandmother was their daughter: Ella Polk Leetch who married William Edward PURSLEYL in Navarro County, TX. If you are of this MALONE clan, please add us to your data base.
