Life

Malinda Bailey was born in 1807 in Oglethorpe County, Georgia, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the year or place and records no parents for her.1 On 1 January 1828, New Year's Day, she married Charles H. Webb, as the Georgia county marriage index records him, in Monroe County, Georgia; the index spells his surname "Wibb".2 Her husband, Charles Hackett Webb, born in 1802, was the eldest son of Charles C. Webb and his second wife, Mary S. Burleson.3

Children

The tree names seven children: Joel Bailey (1828–1854), James A. (1830–1855), Thomas J. (born 1831), Martha J. (born 1835), Charles David (1839–1923), Malinda Caroline Virginia (1845–1891) and W. M. (born 1850).4 Inference Her eldest son's middle name, Bailey, and her younger daughter's first name both follow her own names, which suggests they were named for her or her family.4 Joel and James both died young, in 1854 and 1855, the tree says.4 Her son Charles David Webb's Alabama death record of 1923 names his mother as Malinda Bailey, the only record found so far that gives her maiden name besides the marriage index.5

Georgia and Alabama

The federal census of 1850 lists Malinda Webb in the household of "Charels Webb" in Meriwether County, Georgia.6 By 1860 the family had moved west to the 2nd Subdivision of Coosa County, Alabama, where the census again lists her in her husband's household, and in 1870 the census found her with "C H Webb" in Alabama.7 Her husband died on 30 December 1876; the tree places his death in Meriwether County, Georgia, but his burial in the Webb Family Cemetery at Kellyton, Coosa County.8 By 1912 the "old homestead near Kellyton" was the home of her son Charles David Webb and his wife, where a family reunion of four generations was held that August.9

She died at Kellyton on 5 November 1882 and was buried in the Webb Family Cemetery there, according to the tree; the Find a Grave index lists her as Malinda Bailey Webb.10 No record of her death, and no will or estate record for her, is attached to her profile.11
