Love the Terre Haute story! That’s French origin for high land. My Mom, Beulah Malott was born in Converse, Indiana. My son was born in Lafayette, when I was a Junior at Purdue, along the Wabash. My great great grandfather Robert Malott, was born on July 17, 1827. Robert is said to be the first white child born in Washington Township, Grant County, Indiana. His father, Reason Malott, was 100% French.
