Narrative

The only records I have found thus far for Malinda DeWitt (b. 1855) are the 1860 US Census listing for her parents' household, followed by the 1870 Census listing for her widowed mother's household. There is a marriage record from late 1871 in Huntington Cty, Indiana for a "Melinda Dewitt" and "Daniel Welldy," though I have not managed to confirm whether this record is connected to our Malinda DeWitt. Further, I have found no record of Daniel Welldy either before or after that marriage, and I cannot find any families with that surname (or similar phonetic spelling) in the area around Huntington Cty at all.
