Seeking descendants of Malinda Ballentine Chapman (1816 in NC) who married

census. Family moved to NW ARK by 1860; some moving to Tehama Co.,
California by 1880. Malinda died 1898 in Red Bluff, CAL. Her daughter Edith

book by E. Starr); one of the children Martha married Theodore Garvin. Edith
died 1920 in Red Bluff; Thomas died 1907 in Calif. Edith was also married to
William Martin in 1880; he also died in 1907.
The other Wright offspring: Thomas Jefferson, John Elliott, James

William Tucker (stayed in NW ARK), Annie Moore marrying ? Hamlin, Jane,
Elizabeth Randall Wright who married Elkanah Richards 1870 in Benton Co.
