Notes
Howard Malcolm (or Malcom) was born on January 19, 1799, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and died there on March 25, 1879. An influential Baptist clergyman, author, and educator, he attended Dickinson College and Princeton Theological Seminary. Following his 1820 ordination, he pastored churches in Hudson, New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. He married Lydia M. Shields in 1820 and, after her death, a second wife identified in conflicting records as either Annie or Ruth Dyer in 1838. Malcolm held numerous significant leadership positions, acting as the first general agent of the American Sunday School Union and touring Asia for the Baptist Missionary Society. He subsequently served as president of Georgetown College (c. 1839–1849), Lewisburg University (now Bucknell University, 1851–1858), and Hahnemann Medical College, alongside presiding over various historical, peace, and philanthropic societies.
