Liked your Burr website, and good luck on your project. Suggest you
read the
biographies of the Gaines brothers, Malone, et al, concerning Burr. I
think
I was once a member of the Aaron Burr Society? Anyway, I think it meers
once
a year at Princeton University and that library has a collection oh it?
Family tradition is on a rainy night, Malone and Lt. Gaines were
playing
cards, and after Burr in disguise left, Gaines realized the quality of
the
mount, boots, etc., did not match the poor-man disguise. Malone did not
want
to go but did. At "Burr'sd Rock" S.C. (where is that, I'd like to
visit),
Burr escaped at a crossroads, seeking sucor from the locals (possibly
did
not know who he was?), not getting aid and seeing the futility, Burr
surrendered on his own to Malone who wept at seeing the sad plight of
this
once great man's fallen estate. Malone had been US Land Office Agent,
US
Magistrate, and ASST Indian Agent (to Gaines), and I think a War of
1812
militia Capt., Ft. St. Stephens, Ala. Thomas Malone, Sr., died
"Milford"
(where is that?), Alabama, Feb 17, 1850, age 78. His wife Mary S.
Malone
(who were her parents?) died Milfor Jan 14, 1838, age 49. I descend
their
son, Mobile-Galveston cotton broker, Capt. Edward Malone, Sr., CSA, who
wed
Ann Maria Russell, daughter of War of 1812, Mobile, 3rd US Inf., Col.
Gilbert Christian Russell, Sr., for whom Russell Co., Ala., is named.
