I descend from daughter of Richard Oldham Thomas, Mary Littlefield Thomas who married Marcus Leonard Malone, born 8 Dec 1867 in Kossuth, MS, the son of John Riley Malone, called George Riley Malone by his son Marcus Leonard Malone. I was 14 years old when I visited with this great-grandfather, Marcus Leonard Malone. The first time I ever knew he existed. I was allowed about 20 minutes to talk to him in a parlour-type room. I sat at his feet and asked him about his family on the weekend of John F. Kennedy's death. My father, Jack William Malone and my mother, Merlene Law Malone drove from Redlands, California to Wofforth, Texas to visit at Jewel Malone Dowden's home. Would like to contact descendants. Thank you, Kathleen Malone Southard
