I don't know very much about Malinda J. Shrigley/Srygley/etc. (Thanks for the
alternate spellings!) I expect the one you found is the correct one.
According to the family, Malinda was my husband's maternal g-grandmother. I've
recently started work on husband's father's family and became diverted by the
mystery of Malinda. Family tradition said that Malinda lived in White Cloud, Harrison
Co., IN. She had a daughter Ida born 1861 in Harrison Co., and she married 2 men-- Wilson
and Denniston. Malinda was adopted by a Koch family about 1865 after her parents died in
a flood. Ida didn't know whether her father was Wilson or Denniston. From what
I've found so far, the family probably isn't quite right. Whose family is?
As I said before, I haven't done any IN or KY research, so I'm very grateful for
any assistance. Isn't it interesting how differently states handle county and vital
records. If I can return the favor with help with GA research, let me know.
