Hi Folks, Does anyone know of a Mallock/Malloch family in HS or Early Grove? My 6x ggrfa, JOSEPH RILEY SLOCUMB's (dod: 1865) third wife was Janey/Janney S. UNK who md. (December 17, 1870) WILLIAM R. MALLOCK/MALLOCH. She had a child with Joseph named SUSAN SLOCUMB abt. 1864 and a child with William named ATLAS MALLOCK/MALLOCH b. 1874. In a letter (written August 20, 1888) to his sister, Sarah Smith, William Thompson Slocumb (brother to JRS) mentions that Mrs. Malloch was still depending upon him "...in a great measure to assist and attend to her little business although her boy is now about 15 years old." I take this to mean that Malloch/Malloch died prior to 1888 but I have never been able to find what happened to either the dtr. Susan or the son Atlas. Also, what "little business" is William referring to? Has anyone ever seen a reference to any of these names in a cemetery in and around Early Grove? Other than an oblique reference in the letter, it seems these folks dropped off the face of the earth! Thanks in advance for any help. Jean Hancock in TX
