In an old post from the list archives it appear he was probably a farmer,
about 40-50 years old circa 1820-30, and may have been involved in politics
also at some point not clearly stated, though it appears there also may have
been a John Malin Jr also likely around during the time you're interested

John MALIN, Sr.
Isaac, son of Randall and Elizabeth Malin, from England, married
Elizabeth Jones, daughter of David Jones, of Whiteland. The well-known
Malin farm is out of the one thousand acres that William Penn, on Sept. 25
and 26, 1681, granted to William Jenkins, who, in 1685, conveyed out of it
two hundred and fifty acres to James Thomas. in 1699 the said Thomas
willed to his son, Nathan Thomas, two hundred acres in "Duffryn Mawr" (or
"Great Valley"), and to his brother-in-law, David Jones, the other fifty
acres, "provided he or any of his children will come to this country."
Randall, son of Isaac Malin, married Alice Pratt, and their son, Randall
Malin, married Jane Hoopes, to whom was born only one child, John Malin.
He married Sarah, daughter of James Parrock, of Philadelphia, from which
union were born three children: Randall; John; and Caroline M., married to
James L. Stephenson and who resides on the old homestead. He was a farmer
and a man well educated in the English branches. He belonged to the
Society of Friends, and attended the East Whiteland Meeting, at the house
build on the land (and part of the old homestead) given by his grandfather
to the society. he served several years as a county commissioner. He was
quite active in politics, having been a Federalist and Whig. He died Feb.
22, 1854, in the seventy-fourth year of his age. He was a man of an
enlarged and liberal mind, or generous and humane feelings. He was ever
foremost in promoting measures for the public good, and ready at all times
to give bountifully to objects of love and mercy. His amiable disposition
secured him the universal esteem of his neighborhood and of all who knew
him. As a husband, father, neighbor, and public officer, he left behind
him a reputation which is a rich heritage to his descendants.
