Biography

Hallery was born in 1758. He passed away in 1854. [1] Hallery Malone


Written by Jay Guy Cisco From Historic Sumner County, Tennessee 1909 "Hal" Malone, son of Isom and Judy Cole Malone, was born near Petersburg, Va., on December 13, 1758. The family was of Scotch-Irish origin and Methodist in religion. As to when the first of the name came to America no records have been found. Hallery was a Revolutionary soldier, and was with Washington at the crossing of the Delaware, when the patriot army could be tracked by the blood from barefooted soldiers upon the frozen ground. He was at that time only eighteen years of age and was wounded. To the day of his death he refused a pension, declaring that every man owed service to his county. Soon after the close of the Revolution he married Katie Lyon, daughter of Peter and Bettie Norvill Lyon. At an early date he removed to Tennessee and settled about two miles north from Bledsoe's Lick. His old home, built more than a century ago, is still standing on a beautiful eminence overlooking one of the forks of Bledsoe's Creek, on land which was originally part of the Greenfield track. There he reared a large family, and from that old house he and his faithful wife were, after long and useful lives, carried to Lauderdale's graveyard. "Uncle Hal" died on June 17, 1854, aged 96 years.

The late Senator William B. Bate, in writing of Hallery Malone in one of the Gallatin papers soon after his death said:

"A kinder husband, father and neighbor it has never been our fortune to know. No one ever met him that he did not wear a smile, or entered his home unless greeted with an open handed hospitality peculiar to the men of the olden time. The poor loved him for the charity which came from his liberal hand; the rich loved him for his warm, honest heart that never envied, for he was their friend; they exalted, for they felt him their equal."

Hallery Malone was the father of five sons and three daughters, all of whom because useful citizens, married and left large families. Wesley married Betsey Hawkins; William L., married Sarah Shelby Weatherred, a granddaughter of Colonel Anthony Bledsoe; Jack married Bettie Hanna; James Norvill married Katurah Hanna; Charles B. married Louisa Zimmerman; Nancy married James Essex; Sallie married McLinn Harper; Jennie married Harry Lauderdale.
