moved to Georgia. By the 1840 census, they were living in Pike County near a William M. Bethune

According to court records, Malcolm was a farmer who purchased a 48 acre farm in Spalding County Georgia.
He gave half an acre for a cemetery.
He died about December in 1854, just a month before his daughter, Merida was born on January 1, 1855.
