Dave, I have been following the East TN Malones, i.e., Greene County and Sullivan County. The first Malone book had some misinformation included about Sullivan County. This last edition didn't even mention them as far as I can tell. I think these Malones go back to John Malone of Frederick Co., MD about 1750 or so. I can't get them any earlier and that connection is circumstantial. Peggy
