Biography

Birth and Parents

Roger was the younger son of Thomas Mallory and his first wife Jane whose family origins are not known. He was probably born in Cheshire, where his father was a clergyman.^[1][2] His birth year is uncertain, but his mother died on 12 February 1638/9, and his older brother Thomas was born in about 1636^[1][2] (Thomas gave his age as 40 in a 1676 deposition^[3]) so an estimate of about 1637 may be reasonable.

Virginia

Roger Mallory was a Virginia colonist.

Roger immigrated to Virginia no later than 1660: in 1660 he received a grant of land in New Kent County^[1][2][3]patenting land for the use of his uncle Phillip Mallory: ^[4] among the names in the headright were "Robert Batt, Roger Mallory, Philip Malory, Nathaniel Malory, Sen., Nathaniel Malory, Jr., William Malory, Thomas Malory and Elizabeth Malory.^[5]

A website (citing the Mallory Surname DNA Study but giving no other source) states that on 5 May 1658 Roger was a witness in a case which came before York County Court^[5] and, if that is right, he must have immigrated before then.

Roger's uncle Phillip Mallory died in 1661, leaving Roger all his plantations in Virginia.^[1][2][3]

In his 1671 will, Roger's father left him £5.^[3]

By 1680 Roger was a Justice in New Kent County.^[1][2][3] When King and Queen County was separated out (in 1691^[6] Roger served as a Justice there.^[3]

Roger's entitlement to 2514 acres in the parish of St John, New Kent County was confirmed by a patent dated 30 April 1688, the previous patent (granted for bringing 51 persons to Virginia) having been "in the late troubles casually lost." The 1688 patent referred to him as "captain".^[7] The "late troubles" were likely to have been Bacon's Rebellion. According to one website, the land was on the south side of the Mattapony River.^[8]

In May 1693 Roger's daughter-in-law Ann. wife of his son William, appointed Roger attorney in respect of her dower lands in Virginia.^[7] Thatvyear, Roger, described as a justice of King and Queen County, patented 300 acres escheated by George Nelson.^[5]

Children

Roger married, but the name of his wife is unknown. He had seven children:^[1][2]

• William^[1][2][3]
• Charles^[1][2]
• Thomas^[1][2]
• John^[1][2]
• Roger^[1][2]
• Jane, who married John Quarles^[1][2]
• Elizabeth^[1][2]

Death

Roger was living on 22 December 1695, when land was deeded to him by the Chickahominy,^[5] but died no later than 1697:^[1][2] that year he is described as deceased in a petition by John Buckner for 6,160 acres on Pamunkey Neck to which John Buckner had bought a claim from three of Roger's sons, Roger, Charles, and Thomas Mallory.^[5]

An entry in the Journal of the Council of Trade and Plantations for 4 September 1701 refers to the land Roger acquired from the Chickahominy and describes Roger as deceased.^[9]

DNA

Michael Cayley was not able to check out the sources in this section when he worked on this profile in April 2022.

• Geni, Captain Roger Mallory:
  • "Roger Mallory is the ancestor of several lines of Mallory descendants in America. He is not even remotely related (in the male line) to Peter Mallory of New Haven, Connecticut - Roger's line belongs to the Y-DNA haplotype I1, and Peter to R1b1a2."

• Roger Mallory, The Mallory Surname DNA Study website, notes descendants who have contributed DNA samples and provides a link to Mallory Family FTDNA

Research Notes

Care should be taken not to confuse Roger with his son of the same name. This confusion is found in a number of sources, including 'The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography', which, in 1905 and 1907 issues, says wrongly that the Roger of this profile may have been a Justice in 1704-5.^[3][7]

This profile was re-reviewed for the Magna Carta project by Michael Cayley on 16 April 2022.

Roger Mallory is listed in Magna Carta Ancestry as a Gateway Ancestor (vol. I, pages xxiii-xxix) in trails to Magna Carta Surety Barons Saher de Quincy and Robert de Vere that were badged by the project in April 2015 and re-reviewed in March 2022. Trails from the Mallory Gateways to William d'Aubigny, Robert de Ros and Robert FitzWalter were also developed and badged in 2022. Roger is also the Gateway in a second, Richardson-documented, trail to Saher de Quincy (vol. III, pages 114-124 MALLORY) that was badged in October 2022 by the Magna Carta Project. The trails are set out in the Magna Carta Trails section below.

See Base Camp for more information about identified Magna Carta trails and their status. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
