"I'm fairly certain that Malinda was the daughter of Elisha L. and Ruth 'Kinder' Wheatley, and born in Pike County, Indiana. Elisha/Elijah died in Missouri in the Civil War. Ruth remarried to John W. Bauman (marriage listed as Bowman) 11 Nov 1870, Pike County, Indiana. They can be found in Missouri in the 1880 census."
"Malinda was previously married to Louis/Lewis Cooper, 11 Nov 1870, Pike County, Indiana. They had three daughters and divorced, likely around 1881 or 1882. They lived in Gibson County, Indiana in the 1880 census.

2. Lucy Belle 'Cooper' Benton b. abt. 1778 & died in California
