The proof that Malinda was the daughter of James Tucker is his will signed 19 Aug 1856 (and proven 9 Nov 1865 in Lincoln County, Tennessee) where he names her first among his children and calls her "Malinda Wright"
 Griffin and Malinda married probably about 1835 somewhere in Tennessee. By 1836, he is being taxed in District 6 of Lincoln County, Tennessee.

 Malinda left a will in Tehama County where she calling herself "...of the age of seventy six" (so apparently just after her son James died without issue), divides her estate seven ways.  To each of her five surviving children, and then to the heirs of her two deceased daughters Annie and Elizabeth.  She names the children of Elizabeth but not of Annie, and adds note that "...if my deceased daughter Annie has no heirs living..." so apparently Malinda does not know.
