Malinda Troutman Birth Mother
Based on a careful review of Census records dating from 1850 to 1910, I conclude that Malinda Troutman was of "Mulatto" heritage. This suggests that her father, Peter Troutman, had a relationship with possibly a Negro slave on his farm. This relationship, which resulted in the birth of Malinda Troutman, occurred after Peter's wife Margaret Duncan died and before he married Catherine Spurgeon in early 1798. Malinda could have been as early 1797 or in mid 1798. At the time of this analysis, her birth mother is unknown.
Peter Troutman married Margaret Duncan on September 4, 1790. She later died on November 17, 1796. Their marriage resulted in four children: Michael, Rebecca, James, and Rachel. Census records show that Michael was listed as "White" in the 1850 which suggests that the entire family was "White".
Peter subsequently married Catherine Spurgeon on Jan 15, 1798. This family consisted of eight children: John, William, Eli, Cynthia, Hiram, Amanda, Greenup, and Alvin. The 1850 Census records indicate the following children were "White": John, William, Eli, Cynthia, Hiram, and Alvin.
The only birth record we have for Malinda Troutman is from the 1850 Census. In that record, she and five of her children (Sarah, James, John, Joseph, and Mary) are listed as "Mulatto". Further, subsequent Census records for several of her children (James, daughter Malinda, John, and Joseph) list either a "Black" or "Mulatto" heritage.
Archibald Cosby and Melinda Troutman Family Birth and Death Years
I have created a table of the data for reference. It can be found on the "Album" tabs for Archibald Cosby and Malinda Troutman. This table was used to resolve various Birth and Death inconsistencies.
My analysis includes review the following documents: 1820 to 1910 Census, Find A Grave tombstone photos/records, Obituaries, and Will/Probate documents. Many of the documents are not consistent. For example, the 1850/1870/1880/1910 Census records for Joseph A Cosby shows his birth year ranging from 1834 to 1848. Another example is for Mary Cosby as the 1850 Census shows her being born in 1838 which is two years after her father (Archibald) has died. James H Cosby is shown to be born between 1833 and 1844 depending on which Census record is used.
It appears that Malinda Cosby (nee Troutman) never remarried after her husband, Archibald, died. This is evidenced by her Will/Probate documents showing her as "Malinda Cosby" with no hint of a second husband. Assuming this is the case, then her children's birth years must be constrained by the Jun 18, 1835 death of Archibald. This suggests that all the children must have been born before March 1836.
Based on analyzing various historical records, I am concluding that the following Cosby/Troutman family members have the following Birth/Death years.
Archibald Cosby: July 29, 1792 -> June 18, 1835
Malinda Troutman: About 1798 -> September 1854

Another example is for Mary Cosby as the 1850 Census shows her being born in 1838 which is two years after her father (Archibald) has died. James H Cosby is shown to be born between 1833 and 1844 depending on which Census record is used.
It appears that Malinda Cosby (nee Troutman) never remarried after her husband, Archibald, died. This is evidenced by her Will/Probate documents showing her as "Malinda Cosby" with no hint of a second husband. Assuming this is the case, then her children's birth years must be constrained by the Jun 18, 1835 death of Archibald. This suggests that all the children must have been born before March 1836.
Based on analyzing various historical records, I am concluding that the following Cosby/Troutman family members have the following Birth/Death years.
Archibald Cosby: July 29, 1792 -> June 18, 1835
Malinda Troutman: About 1798 -> September 1854
William Cosby: 1818 -> October 25, 1854

Archibald Cosby and Melinda Troutman Family Birth and Death Years
I have created a table of the data for reference. It can be found on the "Album" tabs for Archibald Cosby and Malinda Troutman. This table was used to resolve various Birth and Death inconsistencies.
My analysis includes review the following documents: 1820 to 1910 Census, Find A Grave tombstone photos/records, Obituaries, and Will/Probate documents. Many of the documents are not consistent. For example, the 1850/1870/1880/1910 Census records for Joseph A Cosby shows his birth year ranging from 1834 to 1848. Another example is for Mary Cosby as the 1850 Census shows her being born in 1838 which is two years after her father (Archibald) has died. James H Cosby is shown to be born between 1833 and 1844 depending on which Census record is used.
It appears that Malinda Cosby (nee Troutman) never remarried after her husband, Archibald, died. This is evidenced by her Will/Probate documents showing her as "Malinda Cosby" with no hint of a second husband. Assuming this is the case, then her children's birth years must be constrained by the Jun 18, 1835 death of Archibald. This suggests that all the children must have been born before March 1836.
Based on analyzing various historical records, I am concluding that the following Cosby/Troutman family members have the following Birth/Death years.
Archibald Cosby: July 29, 1792 -> June 18, 1835
Malinda Troutman: About 1798 -> September 1854

Malinda Troutman Birth Mother
Based on a careful review of Census records dating from 1850 to 1910, I conclude that Malinda Troutman was of "Mulatto" heritage. This suggests that her father, Peter Troutman, had a relationship with possibly a Negro slave on his farm. This relationship, which resulted in the birth of Malinda Troutman, occurred after Peter's wife Margaret Duncan died and before he married Catherine Spurgeon in early 1798. Malinda could have been as early 1797 or in mid 1798. At the time of this analysis, her birth mother is unknown.
Peter Troutman married Margaret Duncan on September 4, 1790. She later died on November 17, 1796. Their marriage resulted in four children: Michael, Rebecca, James, and Rachel. Census records show that Michael was listed as "White" in the 1850 which suggests that the entire family was "White".
Peter subsequently married Catherine Spurgeon on Jan 15, 1798. This family consisted of eight children: John, William, Eli, Cynthia, Hiram, Amanda, Greenup, and Alvin. The 1850 Census records indicate the following children were "White": John, William, Eli, Cynthia, Hiram, and Alvin.
The only birth record we have for Malinda Troutman is from the 1850 Census. In that record, she and five of her children (Sarah, James, John, Joseph, and Mary) are listed as "Mulatto". Further, subsequent Census records for several of her children (James, daughter Malinda, John, and Joseph) list either a "Black" or "Mulatto" heritage.
Will
The 1814 John Michael Troutman Sr Will documents the following people as heirs: Elizabeth Schroeder (wife), John Troutman, Catherine "Caty" Ambrose (nee Troutman), Peter Troutman, John Michael Troutman Jr, Leonard Troutman, Elizabeth Carrico (nee Troutman), Elizabeth "Peggy" Tombetson (nee Troutman), Abraham Troutman, Isaac Troutman, Jacob Troutman, Rebecca Patterson (nee Troutman), Mary "Polly" Simmons (nee Troutman), Philip B Troutman, Catrina "Caty" Troutman, and Margaret Troutman.
