MONK, MALACHI
1805-1886
CLINCH

Malachi Monk was born in Bulloch County, April 22, 1805, a son of William and Jerushia Parrish Monk (Vol. 1). He came with his widowed mother to Lowndes County about 1824. He was married twice. His first wife, Mary Ann, was a sister of Ebenezer DeLoach of Lowndes County, and died soon after the birth of her second child in 1842. Mr. Monk then married Miss Mehala Rice, a daughter of John and Ann Rice (Vol. 1). She was born in Barnwell District, South Carolina December 1, 1814, and died at her home in Clinch County February 18, 1886. There were four children by her. The six children of Malachi Monk were:

1. Hamiltonb. 1837, m. Eliza O'Steen, daughter of John R.
2. Mahlonb. 1842, died, age 17 years.
3. Elizabethb. 1844, m. Henry McMillan.
4. Mary Annb. 1846, m. Jesse Lankford.
5. William R.b. 1849, m. Elizabeth Wetherington, daughter of William.
6. Hiramb. 1850, m. Henrietta Herrin October 25, 1874.

When the Monks moved to this section it was then Irwin County, but soon afterwards, Lowndes County was made out of Irwin. At the first election for county officers, Malachi Monk was elected Coroner and served in this capacity 1825-1829.

Mr. Monk's first home was on lot 465, 9th district of Lowndes County. But in 1843, he sold out and moved to what was then Ware now Clinch County. When Clinch was made out of Ware in 1850, he was living on lot of land 510, 12th district, a mile west of where the town of Dupont now is. But afterwards when the railroad was built through his lands in 1859, he sold out and moved up Suwannoochee Creek a few miles to the north, and bought lands there and lived there until his death. He died September 27, 1886. He and his wife are buried at Prospect Church, Clinch County.

His wife, Mehala, was received into the membership of Union Baptist Church in 1833 by letter from Springtown Church, Barnwell District, South Carolina, before she was married. She was dismissed by letter December 11, 1858, and joined Prospect Primitive Baptist Church nearer her home January 22, 1859. She was dismissed by letter May 10, 1862 and joined Bethany church, Clinch County.

Mr. Monk was a private in Capt. H. W. Sharpe's volunteer troop of then Lowndes County militia in the Indian War in 1836.
