The Ancestors of Elizabeth "Lizzy" Pathosica Mallory

Kennedy M. Crockett

Kennedy McCampbell Crockett was a Foreign Ambassador in the 1960s and 1970s.  Thanks to his second wife, Lelah Eastwood Crockett (who was also a member of the State Department) we have an extensive family tree for him, including a Mallory line that descends from Roger Mallory (1632-1696) and his son, Thomas Mallory (1674-1753), brother to our John Mallory* (1705-1774).
 
Elizabeth P Mallory
Kennedy Crockett was the grandson of Elizabeth "Lizzy" Pathosica Mallory (1856-1910).

Lizzy married Samuel Abraham Crockett in 1877.  They and their family of six children moved from Missouri to Texas in 1900.  Lizzy was the daughter of Thomas W. Mallory and Isabel Carter.  As with our Mallory line, Thomas and Isabel were born in Virginia but arrived in Missouri early in the 1800s, where their nine children were born.
 
Thomas W. Mallory (1817-1900) was the son of Edward Mallory and Lucy Humston, the fifth of ten children.  While there was some difficulty proving the link between Thomas W. and Edward, in a letter from Lelah
in 1990, she wrote, "My source for naming Edward Mallory as the father of Thomas W. is a strange tale.  Long-time friends of mine retired in Ogden, and their next-door neighbors are the Newlands, whom we met when we visited.  Nancy Newland is into genealogy and works on her own family.  Her mother-in-law Marsa Newland (whom I haven't met) is also into genealogy and works on the Newlands.  Marsa is the great-granddaughter of Lucy A. Mallory, Thomas W's oldest daughter.  Nancy sent me info from Marsa, and I have sent info back the same way.  That's how I first heard of Edward Mallory...."  Lelah enclosed a copy of the Last Will and Testament of Edward Mallory.  According to another source, this will was written in 1831 in Fauquier County, Virginia, but was proved in Marion County, Missouri, in 1838.  It mentions Thomas W and several of his brothers, as well as sisters' husbands.
 
 
 
Edward Mallory's Will

Edward Mallory (abt 1782-1838) was born in Virginia, the first child of Clement Pynes Mallory (abt 1732-1799)and Nancy "Ann" Randolph, who were born and died in Virginia.  Clement P. was the son of Philip Mallory (1715-1811) and Lucinda Pynes of Virginia, and Philip was the son of Thomas Mallory (1674-1753) and Elizabeth Higgason, of Virginia.  This Thomas was the brother of our ancestor, John, and both were sons of Roger Mallory (1632-1696) and wife, Jane, from England, settler of Virginia.
 
All of this is another example of the help a genealogical researcher receives from family and friends.  Lelah Joy Eastwood Crockett was invaluable in making the connection between Thomas W. and Edward Mallory. 
 
*Father of John (1733-1795), father of John (1760-1824), father of William (1787-1851), father of John (1815-1869).

A Rookie Mistake and Some Longstanding Consequences

Image
Many, many years ago, when I first began genealogy work on the Mallory Family line, the only sources I had to start with were the things my grandmother, Leona Mallory Poor, told me and some letters from her brother, Houston Lee Mallory.  Neither of them knew much beyond the names of their grandparents and the stories their father, Benjamin Franklin Mallory, told (which were often embellished).  Later, I had the family history written by June Mallory Ferguson, which was an enormous help, and letters from other Mallory researchers in Missouri and elsewhere.  But, prior to that, all I had were a few names and locations.   This was before records had been scanned to computers, and everything was in book form or on reels of microfilm.  Records had to be searched by location first, then by name in the source itself.  It was time-consuming and often fruitless.  I started with the names I knew and checked the U.S. Census for the years before the Civil War....

Roger Eastman and the Salem Witch Trials

Image
Letitia Owen--Rhoda S. Eastman--Levi J. Eastman--Abel Eastman--John Eastman--Joseph Eastman--Samuel Eastman--Roger Eastman   The earliest Eastman ancestor that can be reliably traced with solid evidence at this time is Roger Eastman.  He is regarded as the progenitor of the line in the British colonies of America, and for most of those descendants with the Eastman surname in the U.S. today.  He was recorded as arriving in Salisbury, Essex, Massachusetts, in 1638 aboard the Confidence out of Southampton.   Massachusetts Bay Colony was settled by Puritans, who "established a theocratic government with the franchise limited to church members" and "zealously sought to prevent any independence of religious views, and many with differing religious beliefs...were banished" (Britannica.com).   Roger Eastman married Sarah [last name unknown] soon after his arrival, and his first child was born in 1640.  He received land in the first division of Salisbury and was ...

The Earliest Mallorys, an update

  Previously, the earliest known Mallory was identified as Anschetil, born around 1075.   This information came from Hikaru Kitabayashi in a post written in 2007 .   A blog written in 2011 and 2013 by the same author (a professor of linguistics and author of Post Norman Conquest Mallorys* ) now identifies the first Mallory in England as Geoffrey Mallore (pronounced Mallory, spelled in a variety of ways). Geoffrey, aka Goisfrid Malloret, “seems to have had his origin in Bessin in Normandy” but it is not known if he participated in the Norman conquest of 1066.   According to Kitabayashi’s 2011 post, Geoffrey was listed in the earlier Exeter Doomsday of 1086 “as the lord of Todber in co. Dorset, as tenant of William de Moyon” and possessed “the manor of Steepleton Iwerne (Werne), also of William de Moyon.”   He likely possessed other properties that cannot be identified with certainty because they were recorded only as belonging to “Geoffrey” with no last na...
