SAMUEL MALLORY (David5, 4, Benjamin3, Joseph2, Peter1), son of David MALLORY 
and Sarah ELDRIDGE, was born at Sharon, Connecticut, April 18, 1798; lived a 
moving life in Broome, Cortland, Tompkins and Yates counties, as farmer, wool-
carder, chair-maker, innkeeper.  He married, first, Nancy HOOPER, July 28, 
1821, at Homer; she was born March 19, 1797; died January 17, 1827.  He 
married, second, in Tompkins county, May 2, 1829, Jane  Frances, daughter of 
Amos HART and Sarah ELDRIDGE - the latter his mother's cousin, perhaps.  In 
1844 he came to Elkhorn, bought a farm, and for four years kept the hotel at 
Walworth and Broad streets.  In 1846-7 and in 1855-6 he was county treasurer, 
and was once treasurer of the Agricultural Society.  He retired from his farm, 
within the village, and moved a few rods eastward about 1877.  He died April 2, 
1897 - sixteen days before the end of his ninety-ninth year.  His daughters, 
all of the second marriage, were Nancy Jane (Mrs. Henry BRADLEY), Ruth Ann 
(Mrs. Stansbury OGDEN), Anstis Almira (Mrs. William Augustus BARLOW), and 
Betsey Frances (Mrs. Robert HARKNESS).  Of these the first only is living.

From the "Centennial History of Dryden, New York, 1787-1887;
Pages 150 & 151:

In the year 1820 Samuel Mallory, then 22 years old, walked from his 
native Sharon, CT, to Homer New York.  5-6 Years later he purchased the 
Mill site & water power at the point on Fall Creek, about one mile from 
McLean, which from him was named Malloryville.  Here he built a saw 
mill & added cloth dressing & carding machinery, as well as a dye house, 
finally establishing a chair factory, so that in these, their best days, 
the mills of Mr. Mallory gave employment to twenty-five or thirty men 
and one-third as many women in the different kinds of work.  Some of 
the products of the chair factory are still in use today, indicating that 
the furniture of that time was much more substantial than most of that 
which we buy in these days.  But in 1836 a great fire wiped out the 
flourishing industries of Mr. Mallory and he was so discouraged that he 
sold out and removed to a location in Wisconsin.  Some years later, 
about 1845, barrels were manufactured at Malloryville by Wm Trapp, who 
invented the first successful machinery for that kind of work.

Samuel Mallory for whom Malloryville was named was born in Sharon, CT, 
April 18, 1798.  He first married Nancy Hooper, of Homer, NY, who died 
in 1827.  His second wife was Jane, daughter of Deacon Amos Hart, who 
with four daughters, survives him.  After leaving Malloryville, he lived
in McLean for a few years, but in 1844 moved to Elkhorn, Wisconsin, 
where he engaged in hotel keeping in he early days of that country, 
serving two terms as treasurer of his county.  He died in April 1897, 
lacking only a few days of being 99 years of age.  He was an exemplary 
man who in his long life made many friends, only a few of whom survive 
him.
