NOTE - To the best of my reasoning, the mother parent in this household was "Mary Ellen Fast" whom Rezin would actually marry in 1853. All of the Malott children with the exception of the last 3, are believed to have been born to "Marjorie Fast", the first wife of Rezin. Apparently Rezin and Marjorie were either seperated or divorced by the time of this 1850 US Census with Marjorie living back with her mother in Virginia along with one son, Rufus Malott. The last 3 children listed were fathered by Rezin with a third sister, Clarissa Fast, who was living with Rezin and his wife, Marjorie , prior to 1850.

Marriage Notes:
To the best of my reasoning, Rezin Malott separated or divorced his first wife, Marjorie Fast, sometime before 1850 and then took up residence with her sister, Mary Ellen Fast. They appear together in the 1850 US Census in Pennsylvania. At the same time it appears that Rezin may have fathered three other child with a third sister, Clarrisa Fast, who was living with them at the time. In 1851, Adeline Malott was born, therefore Mary Ellen Fast would probably have been the mother. Meanwhile the first wife, Marjorie Fast, moved back to Virginia and appears in the 1850 US Census there with one son, Rufus Malott, and her elderly mother, Elizabeth Rex.

--------------------------------------------------
By the time Rezin Malott and Mary Ellen Fast were actually married in December 1853, they had already three daughters, Susan Emily Malott, born 1848, Adeline Malott, born 1850, and Minerva Olive Malott, born in August 1853.
-------------------------------------------------
There are several examples of impossible birth dates for some of the children based on the death date of the father, Rezin Malott, in 1862. These include Isabella Malott, born 1867 and John Malott, born abt 1870.
Isabella Malott was listed as living with the widow, Mary Malott, on the 1870 US Census as were other children to include Adaline, age 20, and Rezin E. Malott, age 13. But Isabella was listed as only 3 years old confirming her birth date of 1867.
Assuming the death register in Marion County, Virginia shows the correct person, Reese Malett, as having died in 1862, then just who was the father of Isabella Malott, born 1867.
Perhaps the problem is with the birth dates of this daughter.
