I have been told that you have Malinda Spencer Carby and Richard Carby along with their son Augustus in your family tree on Ancestry.com. Malinda was my gg grandfathers sister. Wondered how much information if any you have on Malinda Richard. Thanks for your time.

--------   19 July 2004
I did mean Malinda and Richard Carby. I don’t have a lot of information except that Malinda’s maiden name was Spencer. Her mother was Kessiah (unknown maiden name) Spencer. In 1850 she is living with her mother and siblings in Grayson County. She married Richard Carby August 15, 1955. I’m assuming their son Augustus was named after her brother Augustus who was born 1841. Not sure what happened to him. I have been told that Richard’s parents were William Carby and Margaret Nichols.

----- 23 July 2004
I received two e-mails. Wanted to send you a little more information.
Richard and Malinda Carby are listed on the 1860 census
Richard Kerby, age 23, Farmer, $180 – value of person estate, born Kentucky, cannot read or write
Malinda Carby, age 24, born Kentucky
Peter Duese, age 78, male, born in Virginia
I have no idea who Peter Duese is or how he ties into the Carby’s or Spencers. Have you heard of him before?
Also, the information regarding Martin being a son of Kessiah is incorrect. I wrote to St. Joseph Cemetery requesting information and they have Martin’s parents as Ben Spencer and Ollie Taylor Spencer. Martin was born in 1825 and died June 8, 1910.
On the 1870 census, there is a John Spencer age 43 next door to William Spencer and Malinda (Carby) Spencer and George Spencer and Emily Jane (Carby) Spencer. I am wondering if John is a son of Kessiah along with William and George.
