Note that in the 1840 census the family of John Hundley included no females at all. Neither Malinda nor any girls were enumerated in the family at Hundley Hill. Yet, in 1830 the family had one male and one female child between the ages of 0 and 5 years old, as well as one female between 20 and 30 years of age. John himself was shown as being between 30 and 40 in the 1830 census, which fits, since he was born in 1796 in Virginia, according to later censuses and family data. Normally, the data of the 1840 census would be interpreted to mean that John Hundley had a wife that passed away between 1830 and 1840. If such were the case, then Malinda was his second wife, since she lived until 1884. Any children of John Hundley by his first wife would have been those excluded by Lucy Clark from inheriting parts of her estate, and that precisely fits the wording of her will and the census data. 22 - (2406)
