Probably born Virginia or North Carolina in 1765 or before. Married Ann "Nancy" Earles, 17 Sept. 1787, Warren Co., North Carolina.

Some references state that his father was George Booth Malone but this is not confirmed.
Personal research suggests that his father was Simon Malone (possible son of Daniel Malone and Mary Busby), and that he had a younger brother also named Simon Malone. He would have been born in Virginia or North Carolina about 1765, was married to a daughter of Thomas Earles in 1787, and relocated with his father and brother to central Kentucky about 1793. They settled near the town of Bradfordsville (at that time, a part of Washington County, but now in Marion County).

The United States Census of 1810 for Washington County, KY, lists: John Malone, head; 2 males less than 10; 2 males 16 - 26; 1 male over 45; 2 females less than 10; 2 females 16 - 26; 1 female 25 - 45. This census also lists 2 families headed by an older and younger Simon Malone, who could have been his father and brother (Elizabeth Earles, the sister of John's wife, was married to a Simon Malone; the two Simon Malone's were listed as tax payers in Washington Co. in 1800).

United States Census of 1820 for Washington County, KY, lists: John Melone, head; 1 male 10 - 16; 1 male 16 - 18; 2 males 18 - 26; 1 male over 45; 2 females 10 - 16; 1 female 26 - 45. Not found on subsequent censuses.

John Malone is not found in records after 1820 until his estate settlement of 1859. However, that settlement may have actually been for a grandson of the same name (a son of Rueben) who died the same year.

F.A.G. contributor and family researcher C.J. Malone adds: "As far as I can tell, John Malone who died in 1859 is buried in the Malone cemetery near Jacktown and Bradsfordsville, KY."

Many of his descendents would remain in Kentucky (Marion, Taylor, and Casey Counties), while others moved on to Macoupin Co., Illinois, and Crawford County, Missouri.

Children (not all accounted for):
Reuben Malone [born ca. 1788, prob. Warren Co. NC, died aft. 1860 Taylor Co., KY; married Jane Coppage, Mar. 1812, Washington Co., KY]
US Census of 1820 for Washington Co,, KY lists:
Ruben Melone, head; 3 males less than 10; 1 male 26 - 45; 1 female less than 10;
1 female 16 - 26; slaves=0

Sarah "Sallie" Malone Coppage [1791-1854]

Ann "Nancy" Malone Tongate [1792-1876]

Micajah ("Cage") Malone [born 27 Mar. 1793, prob. Washington Co., KY; died 6 June 1847, Raywick Precinct, Marion Co., KY; married Susan Batsel 16 Mar. 1819, Marion Co., KY (she lived 1801-29 Oct. 1839); reportedly, at one time Micajah was Sheriff of Marion Co., KY]. The Census of 1850 finds a number of their children living in various households in Marion County. Among his many children were a son also named Micajah Malone [1830-1920] who moved to Illinois. Another son, Quinton C. Malone [1837-1859] also went to Illinois. Son, John M. Malone [1834-1904] remained in Kentucky.

Mary "Polly" Malone

(per census of 1820, a male age 16-18, possibly John Malone. who was born 1804 ?)
"Through DNA matches on Ancestry.com to decedents of Thomas Cletus Malone, Salley Malone, Reuben Malone, Nancy Malone, Micajah Malone, Mary Polly Malone, and Charlotte Malone and links to numerous decedents of John Malone & Nancy Earles it is with great probability that I state, John Malone is the son of John Malone and Nancy Earles.

Charlotte Malone

Another possible relative (brother of John ?) was a Richard Alexander Malone, b. VA, 1766; mar. Eve McDonald; relocated to KY ca. 1797, recorded by family members to have lived in Washington County (possibly being the Richard Malone recorded there on the census of 1820, age 45+, but apparently the only person in the household. Later relocated to Pulaski Co., MO; found there on the censuses of 1840 age 70-80, 1850 age 83 invalid and blind, and 1860 age 94). Richard was somehow linked with families named Arthur, Constable/Constible, and Wright (some of these named are also linked to the family of John Malone.
