Research note: when did he die?
Mark Malott’s Ancestry family tree confirms his middle name as Calvin, but gives his birth as 1838 and his death as 1868. The 1850 census, which gives his age as 14, points to about 1836. If he died in 1868, he cannot be the Calvin Malott, 34, living next door to his brother Delos in the 1870 census; if he was that Calvin, the 1868 date is wrong. The tree cites no record for either date.
Research note: was he Calvin?
In the 1870 census a Calvin Malott, 34, born about 1836, a day laborer, lived next door to Hugh’s older brother Delos in Green Township, with Isabel, 33, and children Viola (15), a daughter of about 13, James P. (9) and Jackson M. (6). Hugh C., also born about 1836, is very likely the same man, going by his middle name, Calvin. Nothing yet states it outright; the 1860 census, or a marriage record for Calvin or Hugh C. Malott, should confirm it.
