Lewis Headrick wrote 28 March 1998, now deceased. ……..My story you
might know that the mid 1800s some people didn’t bother too much with
marriage only they didn’t live together as they do now. My great-grandmom,
Sarah Headrick, had four or five children and never married. Her sister,
Martha Headrick, never married, had some children. Her sister, Charlotte
Headrick, married George Dalton. They were my mother’s grand-parents.
George went into the Army in 1861 and came home in 1865. When he came in his wife had a baby girl born in 1865, he ask where did this one come from and Charlotte said, “Where does all woods chickens come from?” This girl was Rutha Dalton. She married a Mallicoat, their son was red headed. He married my cousin and one of their sons is red headed. He was asking me last year who his great-grandfather could have been as most Daltons have black hair. Well, I have a cousin who has a lot of info so I got this from her. Thomas Coffey (called Old Tom Coffey, was the father of Rutha Dalton Mallicoat. He was probably red headed, his grandson was the father of Ira Coffey and Margaret (Coffey) Headrick. Margaret married my Uncle Henry Headrick. Some of her children were sandy haired. She died after 1975, I think. Just a few days short of 100. Her g-daughter gave me some of this info. The second Thomas was married. …… Aunt Ruth M. died in 1950’s. I married Glatha Coffey in 1942, two weeks before I went in service. Her father was Ballard C., his father John C., who had a large family, William, Jim, Jefferson, Jackson, Marcus, Lona and Myrtle. Note: Lewis didn’t name them all. See: Cleveland Coffey & Susan Hayes for the family of John Cleveland Coffey & Margaret Jane Wolfe. Charlotte "Lottie" Hedrick, daughter of John Hedrick and Lucinda Hipshire, was born (date unknown).
