Mallory.

BY request the following Is given
on the Mallory family:
The Mallorys settled quite early in
Virginia. The first is said to have
located at jamestown during the sew
enteenth century, being Francis, John
and Philip, the latter spelling tho
name Mallory" 1t Is thought, how
ever, that the family in Virg.."i 10 came
through Mallorys Of New England.
Ogden Mallory, of Vermont, was a
colonel In the French and Indian Wars,
and also during the Revolution. His
son, Wells Mallory of Vermont, was
in the War of 1912. Abner Mallory,
of New York (his son), was in the
Mexican War, whose son, Orlando, Of
New York, was in the Civil War, and
Joseph II. Mallory. Of New York (Or-
lando's som, was In the Spanish
American War. whose son, robert NAL
Tory, is ready for the next war. Thus
we find the family to be of q fighting
character
cousin of Orlando Mallory, Of New
York. from whom descended many of
the family who have become prominent
in office, among whom Francis NAL
lory, who represented the State in
Congress from 1897 to 1899, and also
in 1s41 to 1913. He died in Norfolk.
Va, 1860. le 4a
George r. Mallory, of Brunswick
county. born 1884, became county
clerk for many years at Lawrenceville,
Va. Robert Mallory, born in Madi-
son county, 1915, moved to kentucky
and represented that State in Congress.
stephen Russell Mallory was born In
Columbia, S. c., 1S4S. He was a naval
officer In the Confederate States Navy:
afterwards went to Louisiana and rep
resented that State In Congress.
We find also many Mallorys on the
Eastern Shore. William Mallory, of
Isle Of Wight county. was living there
1889. His sister, Martha, married John
Bridges. John Mallory, of Isle of
Wight, died 1888 He was the father
of William and Martha. lie had also
Mary, Francis. Kezlah and Angelina,
and several grandchildren.

In 1863 the name of William Poult-
ney Is signed as witness to will in
st. Georges Parish, Spotsylvania coun.
ty, Va, which would show that some
of the family We're then living there,
but save this one name, nothing fur
Their is given. Yet, the name of Poult-
son is frequently met with. and under
the various changes which names
underwent at this early period, it
may be n corruption for Poultney; II
any descendants of this family are
row living. we would like to hear from
them on the subject.

The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1907-06-23

This very uncommon name in VIZ
ginia is now rarely found. yet, at one
time the family was quite noted. The
name Is given in Bardsley's English
Surnames. as being ?derlved from
Poulet or our English word poultry,
as of Norman origin; yet there We're
few of the name even in England until
the time of Edward " Q442-150D,
when we find Thomas Poultney was
high sheriff for the county of York,
descended from the Poulneys of Niser-
ton, In Leicester county; Thomas
Poultney was Quaker, and accord
ing to that faith, held in small esteem
all distinctions of rank or birth, and
yet they were granted arms, and held
high station
1t seems indsputable that Richard
Ponltney and his young son Thomas,
who emf grated to America and settled
first III Maryland and then in Vir-
ginia, 1880, We're directly descended
from the Poultneys OF Lecestershire,
England, and brought with them the
arms as given above. Thomas, his son,
who was born in England. 1710. mar
ried Miss Thomas, of Maryland, and
their descendants married into some OF
the leading families of that State and
of Virginia. But being Qlakers some
of them did not remain long in either
State, on account of their refusal to
enter the Revolutionary army, and
their peculiar tenets.

Tyranny.

On the floor of the national housect
representatives Congressman Lever of
South Carolina dared one day last week
tovoice protest against the autocratlc
power conferred on the speaker by
rules adopted by Republicans, and
to the tyrannical use of that power by
Joe Cannon. The tyranny permitted
the speaker by the rules of the house
could not be exercised for an hour IN
the British parliament; it equals the
extreme power of the German en-
peror; there would be fierce riot If
such methods were attempted in, the
French chamber of deputies. Yet we
have this condition in the American
house of representatives-the repre-
sentatives-the representatives OF
people supposed to govern themselves!
And the speakers authority is so
great and his lash SO long, that con-
gressmen are actually afraid to raise
their voices in protest. When Lever
dared question Joe Cannon's autocratic
privileges under this republican form
of government members were startled,
and some of the Republicans protested
more vehemently than if the South
Carolina member had committed sac
rilege.
The cause of Congressman Levers
outbreak was the action OF the speaker
in blocking legislation on the Appa-
lachian forest reserve, and Cannon's
course, that should make every liberty
lover rebel, was explained: "Here is
measure y he said, (which is of in
calculable Importance to great sec
ton of our country, both in New Eng
land and in the South. Two pcesi-
dents of the United States have re-
commended it to congress In their
annual messages, three times it has
passed the senate and now it has
favorable report by unanimous vote
|
of the agricultural committee and yet
it lies on the speakers desk, and men
Of both parties in both sections of the
country, governors of sovereign States
and many others come and beg the
speaker to let the representatives OF
the people of this country consider it,"
And the Representatives of the peo-
p1e'' are gagged and Joe Cannon die
tates what shall and what shall not
be done. This outrage against free
government will continue 80 long as
moral cowardice controls so many
members of congress. If each day
some member protested against gross
injustice the people of the country
would gradually come to realizatien
of the fact that Republic canisn-legis-
lative and executive is robbing the M
of their iberty.-The State.
