John MALIN, Sr.

Isaac, son of Randall and Elizabeth Malin, from England, married Elizabeth Jones, daughter of David Jones, of Whiteland.  The well-known Malin farm is out of the one thousand acres that William Penn, on Sept. 25 and 26, 1681, granted to William Jenkins, who, in 1685, conveyed out of it two hundred and fifty acres to James Thomas.  in 1699 the said Thomas willed to his son,  Nathan Thomas, two hundred acres in "Duffryn Mawr" (or "Great Valley"), and to his brother-in-law, David Jones, the other fifty
acres, "provided he or any of his children will come to this country." Randall, son of Isaac Malin, married Alice Pratt, and their son, Randall Malin, married Jane Hoopes, to whom was born only one child, John Malin. He married Sarah, daughter of James Parrock, of Philadelphia, from which union were born three children:  Randall; John; and Caroline M., married to James L. Stephenson and who resides on the old homestead.  He was a farmer and a man well educated in the English branches.  He belonged to the Society of Friends, and attended the East Whiteland Meeting, at the house build on the land (and part of the old homestead) given by his grandfather to the society.  he served several years as a county commissioner.  He was quite active in politics, having been a Federalist and Whig.  He died Feb. 22, 1854, in the seventy-fourth year of his age.  He was a man of an enlarged and liberal mind, or generous and humane feelings.  He was ever foremost in promoting measures for the public good, and ready at all times to give bountifully to objects of love and mercy.  His amiable disposition secured him the universal esteem of his neighborhood and of all who knew him.  As a husband, father, neighbor, and public officer, he left behind him a reputation which is a rich heritage to his descendants.
