He had at least one child (Malachi Lane) born in OH in 1806. The Malachi Lane family was in Jefferson Twp (Fayette Co.) OH for the 1830 US census; Miami Twp (Greene Co.) OH for 1840; Prairie Twp (Franklin Co.) OH for 1850; and Benton Twp (Lucas Co.) IA for the 1856 Iowa state census. What we don't know is the name of Malachi’s mother; where William (Malachi’s father) died; and who are the other siblings of Malachi. William is listed in the 1850 census in (Franklin Co.) OH with Malachi and his family but is not in the household for the 1856 (Lucas Co.) Iowa state census. However, in 1856, there is now an adopted child in the Malachi Lane household by the name of John O. Huddleston. We don't know why Malachi adopted him. One theory is that John was a nephew and maybe something happened to his family which prompted Malachi to take him in. Any info abt these unanswered questions woul! d be greatly appreciated.
