Maloy was the youngest son of Jesse and Alsey and,
from all I can tell, the one who was in trouble the most.
Maloy married his first wife, Barbara Underwood, April 20, 1848. One year later their son, Warren, was born. Barbara became pregnant again, but died from complications from the pregnancy in 1851. Maloy, left alone with a baby to support and care for, moved back in with his mother and sisters for while so they could help care for the baby. August 10, 1854 Maloy married Rachel Marley. Rachel's brother, Haywood, would later marry Maloy's baby sister, Sylvania. Life for the new bride was not easy. She not only was living with her mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law, she had a six year old step-son to care for. She was also faced with the fact that her husband had fathered another child by his mistress.
While all this was going on, Maloy's bride, Rachel, was at home trying to make the best of the situation. In 1856 she gave birth their first child, Denny. Together, Maloy and Rachel had 13 children, 14 if you include Warren, Maloy's child from his first marriage. A very large family! To help support his growing family, Maloy began using his talent as an artist. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong profession. On the 1880 Federal Census for Randolph County, NC, Maloy is listed as an inmate in the jail in Asheboro. He had been convicted of forgery. Making your own money and revenue stamps, although creative, was illegal. No one is sure what happened to Rachel - whether she chose to remain married to Maloy or not. She is not listed on the 1880 census anywhere in North Carolina. It's possible she had died, or she may have traveled with some of her Marley family members, including Haywood and Sylvania, to Kansas. Maloy is listed on the 1900 Federal Census for Guilford County, NC as living alone. His grave has not been found. We are always looking for more info on Maloy and all of the Allred family.
