First sentence: The Malone family name, Malone told his kinsman Charles O'Conor in December 1787, derived from some ancestor with a bald head: 'Moil I know is bald, but I know not the Irish for head; and rather suspect that the gentleman's name was Owen, and that he was called ... Moil Owen which was afterwards easily corrupted into Malone.'
