| Notes |
- Malcolm Gilchrist married Catherine Buie, daughter of Daniel Buie who is son of Archibald Buie. From
Gilchrist Genealogy page:
Less than two years after the Gilchrist arrival in North Carolina, Malcolm, who was four years younger than his brother John, married Catherine Buie of Cumberland County. Born June 30,1752 in Bladen County Catherine was the daughter of Daniel Buie who, in 1780, was living in the Barbecue District of Cumberland County, N.C.; later he moved to neighboring Moore County. Daniel was in turn a son of Archibald Buie who emigrated in Sept. 1739 from the Island of Jura off Scotland's western coast. The year following his arrival he acquired 320 acres of land on the southwest side of the northwest branch of the Cape Fear River in June 1740, and an additional 200 acres on the north side of the river's northwest branch in 1746. Archibald died in May, 1781 having moved his family to the Barbecue Creek area in about 1760.
Malcolm and Catherine settled in Moore County (now, Lee County) near her parents. In a manner clearly in keeping with the Gilchrist character, Malcolm also became a respected and influential member of his community in the years. In 1792 he served as Sheriff of Moore County, then in 1794 and 1795 he served in the North Carolina House of Commons, the year following John's term. From 1796 through 1800 he served in the North Carolina Senate. In 1809, he and Catherine and their nine children along with other members of the Buie family moved to Maury County, Tennessee to settle newly opened Indian land. Malcolm's tract consisted of one thousand acres (The deed is still on file in the Maury County Courthouse - Records A - Vol. I, page 167).
