On This Day - January 27
MALINDA BOONE was born on January 27, 1839 in Greene County, Indiana. Her parents are Jeremiah Boone (1813-1850) and Elizabeth Ann Simmons (1818-1900). She was the third child of seven born between 1835 and 1849. In the 1840 census the family is in Green County, Indiana and in the family of five Malinda is the baby. The family has expanded by four children in the 1850 census. Unfortunately the census was taken in August and Jeremiah had died in April. Malinda's father died of typhoid fever at the age of 37 leaving children aged 15 to 2. Malinda's mother remarries in 1852. But during the next eight years, three more of her children die, including Malinda in 1853. Two of her brothers serve during the Civil War and one did not survive.
My interest in genealogy began when I was only 10 years old. I was lucky that there were family members who had done research and shared it with the cousins. Then my parents, after they retired, also sought out relatives and handed down piles of paper. I was the one that put all the names and dates into a genealogy program - back in the old days when floppy discs were still popular. Now I'm retired and attempting to add the stories to all the dates.
