John Mallory-R. 6845

Mrs. Jessie Mallory De Lamar
2908 Tenth Avenue
Columbus, Georgia

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of John Mallory, of Greene County, Georgia.

The data which follow are obtained from the papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim, R.6845, based upon the military service in the war of John Mallory, the only soldier of that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this office in whose claim it is shown that he ever lived in the state of Georgia.

John Mallory was born March 11, 1759, in Orange County, Virginia. The names of his parents are not shown.

After the Revolution, he moved to the state of Georgia, county not shown, and in 1831, to Benton County, Alabama.

November 11, 1835, while a resident of said Benton County, John Mallory applied for the pension that might have been due on account of his service in the Revolutionary War and stated that he enlisted in Louisa County, Virginia, April 17, 1781, and served as corporal in Captain Smith's Company, Colonel Gaskin's Virginia Regiment; that he was at the siege of Yorktown and surrender of Lord Cornwallis, after which he was transferred to Captain Beverly Boy's Virginia Company, served in said company and in Colonel Posey's Virginia Regiment; that in February, 1782, he marched to Georgia and joined General Wayne in his campaign in that state; that he was in skirmish with the Indians and Tories; returned to Virginia and was discharged at Cumberland Court House, that state, the last of February, 1782.

His claim was not allowed as it was believed at the time of his application that he was identical with the John Mallory (S. 16931), of Limestone County, Alabama, whose name was then on the Alabama pension roll.
Page 13

In 1831, children of John Mallory were living in Benton County, Alabama; their names and the name of soldier's wife are not shown.

In 1835, Thomas Mallory, a brother of the soldier, was residing in Orange County, Virginia.

The date of death of John Mallory is not given.

Very truly yours

The papers in this claim have been compared with those in pension claim of John Mallery, S. 16931, the only other of Alabama, and it would seem that they were not identical. This soldier's rejection was: "Already a pensioner under the Act of June 7, 1832", which shows the confusion at the time of the adjudicator of this claim for pension.
- - -
When a request is made for either John Mallory, R. 6845, this soldier, or for John Mallery, S. 16931, we will send both, using the admitted one first in the reply, because his application was in 1833.
