Notes
- The Strange genealogy in World Family Tree Pedigree #2932 spells her name Melinda.
Malinda M (age 22) in the 1870 census for this family seems to match Malinda (age 1) in the 1850 census. However, the child in the appropriate place for Malinda in the 1860 census is entered as M C. This brings into question her middle name with initial C or M. I have not found a sources that clarifies that with her full name.

The age is puzzling here, showing Malinda as 7. She was 1 in the 1850 census, taken in October. A family genealogy reports her actual birth date as 27 December 1849, which means she was not really yet one year old in October 1850 , but actually only a few days over 10 months. So her parents or the enumerator rounded up. But the birth date in December 1849 clashes witht eh reported age of her brother John in 1850, age 3 months. so (going by the census daet of 1 June) he was born in abotu February 1850, or about June 1850 (going by the actual date in October when his family was enumerated on that page).
On the other hand in 1860, M C is reported as only 7 years old, and she should have had her 10th birthday in December 1859! That means a loss of 3 years for this census.
Malinda is buried in Strange Cemetery on Muddy Hollow Road, off Rainwater School Road, in South Jefferson County, Tennessee. The grave is unmarked.
