Capt. Roger Mallory (c1630-1695), of royal descent, was an early settler of Virginia. He was granted 2,314 acres in King & Queen County in 1660. He became one of the wealthiest men the Virginia Colony when he later inherited the estate of his uncle Rev. Philip Mallory. Still later, he acquired another 4,814 acres in the colony.
Of this family, John Mallory (c1793-bef 1870) seems to have been a close relative, perhaps brother, of Valentine Mallory, of Bourbon County, Kentucky. He was also a close relative, perhaps nephew, of George Mallory, sometime Master Armorer at the federal armory at Harpers Ferry. John Mallory moved to Harrison County, Kentucky, to Vigo County, Ohio, then about 1833 to Champaign County, Illinois with his Brownfield in-laws. He served as Justice of the Peace. His wife died and in 1842 he married the widow Angeline (Hildreth) Howe. (Her first husband, Dr. George Howe, was killed in the Black Hawk War in 1832.) In 1860 John Mallory was living in Dallas County, Iowa. He died some time after that date.
John’s daughter Elizabeth Mallory (1846-1909) returned to Illinois, and married John Wilson.
