George Malone

  Notes:

George Malone married Ann Botham, widow of Levin Botham as shown in Botham's estate inventory on Nov 24 1807, where it states that George Malone had intermarried with Ann Botham, executrix for Levin Botham. Botham had died by Oct 13 1803 (SoInv-EB26:164).

On Sep 10 1808, William Malone Sr. laid off a piece of land for George Malone for $50 on the north side of Wicomico Creek and about the head of a small creek issuing out of it called Stevens Creek. Beginning at a marked post that is a bounder of "Goddards Folly" N18.5E13.5, S35E27 to marked white oak, SE with new ditch cut by said William Malone till it intersects line of "Dashiells Lot" then with that tract till it intersects back to "Goddards Folly" and then to the beginning containing 9a of land. In the following record, on the same day, William Malone Sr. sold 14 head of cattle, 25 head of hogs, two feather beds/furniture, one large looking glass, one large Bible, 10 pieces of pewter, one large iron kettle, two iron pots and one pair fire tongs, one shovel, poker iron cradle, two chests and desk, two tables, one pair _____, four chairs, one plow/harrow, one grubbing how, two axes and two iron wedges to George Malone for $40. Then, the next record, on Aug 20 1808, William Malone and wife Frances, for $138.75, sold to George Malone a portion of the tract "Goslees Chance" beginning at its first bounder, a marked pine, and running S70E60, N20E64, N48.5W59, S8E30, S64W52 and then to the beginning containing 27.75a of land. (SoLR-S:449-53) RESEARCHER'S NOTE: It is likely that the William Malone here was the uncle to George Malone. George's father Robert Malone had died when he was only about 6 or 7 years old and it seems that his uncle was caring for him and getting him started with a farm and provisions. It is possible that this was another William Malone with relation to George, however (perhaps his older brother).

In 1810, he is head of household in Somerset Co. with 40010-00010-03. In the 1820 Census, George Malone is head of household in Wicomico Hundred, Somerset Co. with 321110-20110-06. He is near households of Robert Hitch, George P. Jones, Sarah Stewart and James Jones. In 1840, he is in the Middle District of Somerset with 0101100100000-0000100000000. These listings suggest he was born in the 1780-84 range. George Malone is listed in the 1850 Census Mortality Schedule as having died in Jun 1849 of palsy at age 67 thus narrowing his birth year to 1781/82.

On Oct 26 1815, George Malone had the tract "Addition" surveyed for him. It was for 9.5a and borders "Fitzwaters Study," "Goslees Lot," "Goslees Chance" and "Sand Ridge" and sits on the west side of modern-day Upper Ferry Road just south of the intersection with Walnut Tree Road.

When Peter Malone wrote his will in August of 1820, he placed his brother George Malone as executor so we know Peter was his brother. (SoW-JP4:004) He is listed as the administrator of Peter Malone's estate on Nov 14 1820 (SoOCP-1811/23:112) George Malone is listed in the 1850 Mortality Schedule of the census as age 67 when he died of palsy in Jun 1849 in Somerset Co.

In his will written Oct 12 1848 and probated Jul 13 1849, George Malone mentioned sons Simeon and Levi Malone as well as daughter Mary C. Hitch to get all of his real and personal property divided equally. Witnesses: Alexander C. Hastings, James M. Goslee, Thomas W. Dashiell (SoW-JP5:159). His inventory was taken Oct 16 1849 for $125.03 and net distributed on Jul 4 1851 was $79.78 by accountant Simon Malone. (SoAA-SWJ11:10)

George married Anne Whayland, daughter of Thomas Whayland and Mary (?), 13 Oct 1803-24 Nov 1807 in Somerset Co., MD. (Anne Whayland was born about 1781 in Somerset Co., MD and died before 1840 in Somerset Co., MD.)
