General Notes: Husband - Richard Malone


In April, 1773, he lived six miles from Fort Augusta (Sunbury), up the West Branch, which would be about two miles above the mouth of Chillisquaque Creek. His house was a prominent place for meetings, notably those of the meetings of the County Committee of Safety during the Revolution.
As early as 1785 he removed to near "The Nest," and settled upon the Charles Worthington tract, belonging to Samuel Wallis (two miles below Milesburg), which Mr. Wallis deeded to him Sept. 5, 1791. In 1793 he took up in his own name a tract of one hundred and ten acres south of the Worthington, but always resided on that part of the Worthington which is south of the creek, and where his granddaughter, Mrs. James Single, later resided.
In his will, dated Aug. 3, 1801, he wills the services of his black man Hank, if he chooses to live with her, to his widow for five years. If he behaves well then he is to be free at the expiration of that time, otherwise he was to be sold, and the proceeds to go to Mrs. Malone to bring up the children with.
His house was known as "Malone's near the Nest," and he died possessed of a good deal of personal property.

It is not clear from the source which of the children listed were the offspring of which of his wives.
