She married 1st William Winlock Wright in Simpson County, Kentucky. This young couple migrated to Cass County, Missouri sometime before 1836.
Her husband obtained large tracts of land and on October 8, 1844 Wright and his wife Malinda platted the “original town of Pleasant Hill.” It consisted of twelve blocks lying parallel (now Highway 7) and angled it northwest following the crest of the ridge. Wright’s store stood on the highest ground which is now marked by a monument in the Pleasant Hill Cemetery. Wright died in 1846 and a year later, Malinda added 12 more blocks to the original plat. These two plats are now known as “Old Town” Pleasant Hill. The three story brick tavern erected by the Wrights was a popular stop for travelers and was the center of the community until after the Civil War. Later it was a private home until it burned in 1909.
They were slave owners having several field hands and house servents.
The 1850 census lists her as the head of the family with three children; John, William and Marion.
Twelve years after her husbands death she married 2nd Henry M. Bracken, 23 Dec 1856, Cass County, Missouri.
Although she was the mother of six, only two of her children reached adulthood.
