Jacob was born on September 29, 1858 in Brooklyn, Kings County, New york and died on March 19, 1921 in Riverhead, Suffolk County, New York. He wrote the book, Historical Papers on Shelter Island and Its Presbyterian Church".

Prior to serving at the Shelter Island Presbyterian Church, he came to the First Presbyterian Church of Newton in 1890. Some described him as a "person of enthusiasm and energy". He left the First Presbyterian Church of Newton after a controversy surrounding a sermon he gave, in which he criticized Session members. Mallmann had to issue a public apology in his last sermon, after which the Presbytery of Nassau declared First Presbyterian Church of Newton's pulpit vacant.^[1]

In October 1895, he left Newtown and became the minister of the Shelter Island Presbyterian Church in New York.^[1]

For over twenty three years, he was the pastor of the Shelter Island Presbyterian Church; that church's longest serving pastor.^[1] He was also a historian and genealogist of the island.

He is remembered for being the last of the strict Calvinists and was responsible for installing the church organ and stained glass windows in the church.^[2]

He was born in the city of Brooklyn, N. Y., Sept. 29, 1858, and is the son of Jacob and M. D. C. (Lehnert) Mallmann. Entering into mercantile life, he in time became the successor of his father in the baking business. This he carried on for seven years, when feeling himself called to the gospel ministry he disposed of his business and began to fit himself for the ministry, at first in Springfield, Mass., as one of the original students of the School for Christian Workers, now known as the Bible Normal College, and also under the instruction of a private tutor, after which he entered Princeton Theological Seminary, from which he graduated in 1889. During the last year in the Seminary, and the first year after graduation, he was minister in charge of Olivet Chapel, under the care of the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church, of which the Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, D.D., LL.D., at that time was pastor, and of which church before entering the ministry he was a member. In that chapel he was ordained by the Presbytery of Brooklyn, October 23d, 1889. In the early part of 1890 he received a unanimous call as pastor from the First Presbyterian Church of Newtown, N. Y., which he accepted, and was installed by the Presbytery of Nassau on the evening of May 8th, 1890. Here he continued to labor until the fall of 1895. While serving the Newtown Presbyterian Church he was honored with the great privilege of building one of the finest suburban church buildings in the country, through the munificent bequest of over sixty thousand dollars by John Goldsmith Paynter, Esq., deceased, to that Society. Immediately upon the close of his labors at New- town, N. Y., he entered upon his services here, in which he still continues. On April 11th, 1878, he married Miss Hannah Matilda Robinson, daughter of Charles B. and Catherine (Babcock) Robinson.^[3] Their union has been blessed with three children, two daughters and a son, the latter, named Payson, passing on to the "Father's house" on Aug. nth, 1885, aged nearly eleven months. The names of the daughters are Ruth Robinson, now the wife of Dr. F. Everett Benjamin, of Shelter Island, N. Y., and Maria D. Caroline Mallmann. And here the writer wishes to make use of the privilege of rising up and calling the memory of his dear mother "blessed," for he feels that to her parental faithfulness in religious training, untiring efforts for his welfare, and self-denying labors he owes everything under God in that He hatlh "counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry." Oh, that precious name of "mother!" how sweet it sounds ! We s'hall meet again, dear mother. In the meantime may your "dear boy," by the grace of God, ever prove himself worthy of that care you so unceasingly bestowed upon him. ^[4]
