Research Notes
Malinda's grave marker shows a birth year of 1870. Grave markers have been known to be incorrect, but then again, so have death certificates, depending on the informant's knowledge. Her death record shows she died 19 Feb 1923 aged 57y7m12d which calculates to a birth date of 7 Jul 1866. This is from the Louisiana State death records, I cannot find an actual image of the certificate. Brown-109144 07:53, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
