Hi Gwinnetta, My Malone connection is Elvira MALONE, which I am sure you just read about in the other posting. I checked the Van Zandt County, TX Census for 1870 late last night (all 166 pages of it) for your Carroll MALONE, but didn't find him. While I was doing that, I transcribed the Malone's that I did find; as well as, two FOSHEE/FOSSHEE families. I will post them below in hopes that they might help you or someone. The town listed for all the residents of Van Zandt County is "Canton P.O.". Velma Page 161B, 77-86: Joseph N. MALONE 36 M ALA Farming $500/400 Sophronia A. 23 F ALA Leathy J. 6 F TX John F.
