These people are not listed in 1860 Census index. 1865 Kansas State Census for Potosi Twp shows first 5 children born in Missouri, 6th child John F born in Kansas, probably Linn Co. Vern Paul was kind enough to lookup the 1865 data for me. 1870 Census shows this family still in Linn Co, KS, Potosi Twp No 2. By this time 1st child Wm S MALLON, my gr grandfather had m Sabina HARPER on 19 Sep 1867. I know their 1st few children were born in Linn Co, KS and the family moved to Holt County, MO sometime after 1890. Thomas MALLON left Ireland in connection with some trouble with the law in abt 1840s. He lived in Bates Co, MO then Linn Co,KS. Her served in Company C, 16th Regiment, Kansas (military data provided by Vern Paul lookup) After 1870 census I am unable to find Thomas and Elizabeth MALLON. Current family members say after he left Linn Co,KS he was in trouble with the law again--this time in Texas. Can anyone help? |
