Gwinnetta, Please disregard what I just said about the previous post. When I selected reply, it went directly to someone, so I will post here about my Elvira. My direct connection to the Malone line is through my 3gr-grandmother Elvira Malone. Elvira MALONE was born about 1827 in TN. She listed TN as her birthplace every Census until 1870; at which time, she decided she was born in GA. I did not find Elvira on the 1880 Census and believe that she died between 1870/1880. Elvira married (1) A. FOUCH/FOUTCH. a. Elijah b. abt. 1844 b. William James b. 27 Nov 1845 c. Jason Allen b. 27 Nov 1845 (My gr-gr-grandfather.) Elvira married (2) James PITMAN. a. John H (or C) b. Nov 1852 b. Sarah E. "Eliza" b. abt. 1857 c. Sophronia b. abt. Mar 1860 d. John B. b. abt. 1864. All these children were born in DeKalb County (which was formed from Smith County, TN.) Velma
