We have no proof that Malachi is the son of Lewis Henry Click, but he's always deeply involved with our Click family. For some reason he wasn't on the deeds the heirs signed, unless his father excluded him from his will. Sometimes that did happen. Lewis did have a will at one time, but I've never found it.

we now have DNA proof that we are in fact related to Malachi. Myself and my cousin, Gary Dale Click, both have DNA matches to descendants of Malachi.

We are still listing Malachi as a son because there are just too many ties with him and our family.

Malachi had a bastard child with Sarah Graham

A copy of the original will was kept by his old friend Washington Henshaw. I received it from the Henshaw family and forwarded to a descendant of Malachi for safe keeping.
