She came to Chase Co., Kansas in 1868 with her parents, sisters and brothers, and they lived just south of the Cottonwood River where the Stone Arch Bridge stands.
She was married on January 2, 1872, in Chase Co., Kansas, to John Marshall Magill. Malinda and John Marshall Magill had ten children: Isabella M., Adaline M., John Alexander, Josephine, Walter Marshall, William Henry, Joseph Orin, James Monroe, Leona M., Arnold Sylvester Magill.
