I have found all of the children, have them well documented, but never found Malinda until I started working with Elizabeth and Samuel Seybold.
The Malinda of the 1850 Orange Co. census is exactly the right age and birth state of Malinda Bennett. George W Seybold's death certificate, his son, Jasper, giving the information, says George's mother was an "unknown" Bennett. If he wanted to put Elizabeth, he would have known her name was Elizabeth.
Samuel Seybold, after Malinda's death, put the kids in a wagon with all their worldly possessions and went to Logan County, Illinois where he married Elizabeth. She was his dead wife's sister, and he knew her and so they were married and moved on to Decatur Co., IA where the Bennett families were.
I have no idea where the Kellam name came from. There were some families near Samuel and Malinda in Orange Co by the name of Kellam. There has been no proof of that name for Malinda.
