Listers, In the past few days I focused on another of the various men named Malichi. In 1850 for this man he is with his wife and children and clearly named Malichi. In 1860, 1870, and 1880 he is referred to as M.W. but his wife and children remain constant. Through these years they remain in Madison co. N.C. This Malachi should have had a birthday in 1823. Does anyone know his father? I am really interested in the Malichi who was in Cobb co. Ga. in 1840. Richard and I have discussed him at length in regard to a possible relation ship to John and Littleton Reeves who lived near each other in Cobb Co. in that period. I will paste what I have on the Malachia b. 1823.
