In Reply to: Samuel Mallory/Mallery Family Information Wanted by Chris Trevathan of 2813

I have looked at Samuel and his siblings several times...they appear to be sons of Isaiah Mallory and Abigail Bennett and Isaiah was son of Matthew Mallory who was lost at sea

i beleive martin was born in Ontario Co NY.

An apparent brother, Matthew lives next to them.... Are you sure about the children?

I have Martin as son but...Lewis H (Lewis Hamilton) (You have Lewis Alanzo) is son of Matthew.

there also appears to be a brother Stephen.

Mary Jane Berry married Martin Mallory while Stephen Mallory was partners with Elias Berry brother of Mary Jane.

They were from Norwalk Ct where Matthew...lost at sea...lived.

20. Elias Berry was born on May 9 1820 in Seneca Township, Ontario Co., NY. He died on Nov 10 1876 in Chester Township, Eaton Co., MI. He was buried in Needmore Cemetery, Chester Twp Eaton Co.. He has reference number 20.(2) Married Philena Galloway 24 Sep 1841 in Hillsdale County, Michigan (probably Reading Twp.). Philena was born in 1824 in NY, died 10 Mar 1877 in Chester, daughter of James Archer Galloway and ? (Coldwell) Galloway. Elias Berry grew up in Ontario
County, NY and was 18 years old when the Robert Berry family migrated from there to Reading Township in Hillsdale County, Michigan. Elias in September 1843, at the age of 23, purchased 120 acres in the southeast quarter of Section 27, Reading Towns

In March 1858 Elias bought 40 acres in Section 27 for $2,500 (SW 1/4 NE 1/4). In April 1859 he bought 50 acres near the NE corner of Section 32 from David Brott for $1,000. In 1873 Elias was involved in a company, Berry & Co., formerly Walbridg and Mickle but the type of venture is unknown. A land transaction between Elias and his sons, Frank and Robert Milton, occured in 1874. This was the year Elias with his wife Philena and children Robert, Helen and Charles moved to Chester Township Eaton County. He purchased property in sections 25 and 35 in Chester and section 1 of Carmel Township. He and Stephen Mallory of Hillsdale owned a sawmill on a 200' x 300' piece of land on the SE corner of section 35, (Berry and Mallory). He sold to Mallory in December 1875. Unfortunately, Elias and his son Robert Milton, contracted typhoid in the latter part of 1876 and Elias passed away in November and Robert in December. They were both buried in Needmore Cemetery in the northeast corne Chester Twp


there appears to also be a brother John.

I have a second marriage for Samuel.

3. Robert Berry was born on Aug 16 1783 in Lancashire, England. He died on Sep 6 1847 in Reading Twnshp., Hillsdale Co., MI. He was buried in Gleason Cemetery, Reading, MI. (3) He has reference number 3. (2) Robert Berry was born 16 Aug 1783 in England, probably Lancashire and died 6 Sep 1847 in Reading Township, Hillsdale Co., MI., m. 10 Sep 1815 Ontario Co., NY, probably Seneca Township, to Nancy Russell who was born 22 May 1799 at Springfield, Hamp
Co., MA and died 1 Jan 1889 in Reading Twp. Hillsdale Co., MI, the daughter of Oliver and Nancy (Newton) Russell.

Robert Berry was eleven years old when he arrived with his parents United States in 1794. He grew to manhood in Ontario County. He served in the War of 1812 and his physical description at the time of his enlistment was: "age about 29 years, farme
born England, about 6 ft., hair dark, grey eyes. lt. complexion." His war service is best described in a deposition made by his oldest son, Thomas Berry, in 1878, in connection with a pension application by (Russell) Berry:

I have heard my father say that he teamed in the army of Eighteen Hundred and Twelve. He was at Buffalo, New York in 1812 with a team and wagon and was pressed into service as ateamster. He drew cannon and ammunition from place to place ator near
Black Rock, near Buffalo, NY. Also hauled a cannonfrom Black Rock or Buffalo to Sackets Harbor and I think itwas in the spring of the year when the roads were heavy andthat it took thirty days to make the trip. He was under Col.Dox. The Captain's n
I have forgotten, but have heard himtell he was a teamster while in the army about three years, orat least I never heard him tell of rendering any other servicethan that of teamster while in the service.

The first of Robert Berry's property transactions in Ontario County is dated 15 Feb 1815 in which he sold 50 acres off the west end of Lot 30, Twp. 10, Seneca for $250. There is no record of when he purchased the land. On 2 May 1815 he sold 192 ac
in Lot 30, Twp. 10, Seneca, to Asa Pain. On 22 May 1837 he purchased 45 acres of land in Lot 32, Twp. 10, Seneca, from heirs of his father, John Berry, who had died the previous year. On 16 Jul 1838 he apparently sold all his property in lots 29,
and 32, Twp. 10, Seneca, to James Carter for $7,000. There may also have been a trade of property involved in this transaction with Carter (see Robert's Will below). He then departed Ontario County with his wife and their 11 children and migrated
Reading Township in Hillsdale County, Michigan, arriving in October 1838.

About the year 1836 Robert's oldest son, Thomas Berry, took up for himself and father 480 acres of government land near Waterloo, IN but evidently neither Robert nor Thomas ever lived on or developed this land. This property may later been traded f
property in Reading Township.

In Reading Township, Robert Berry invested in land in Sections 11, 14, 21,22, and 23. In 1839 he sold 80 acres in the northwest quarter of Section 23 to his daughter, Nancy Webster. In 1843 he sold 80 acres in the Southwest quarter of Section 11
his son, Charles. In 1846 he sold 40 acres in the Northwest quarter of Section 21 to Robert Berry, Jr. In 1847 he sold 40 acres in the Northwest quarter of Section 23 to James and Eliza Rich.

The Robert Berry family homestead was located on the 80 acres of the south half of the northeast quarter of Section 21, two miles northwest of Reading village, on present-day Abbott Road. Nancy (Russell) Berry was living with her youngest daughter,
Charlotte, and her husband, Alphonso Stanton, on this property in 1860. By 1880 the Stantons had moved to Quincy, Branch County and only Nancy and her son Euphrates were living on the Berry farm. In about 1884 when Nancy was 85 years old and becom
quite feeble she began living in the household of her son Orin Berry whose farm was a short distance further north on Abbott Road from where Nancy had lived most of her life. It was while living with Orin that in 1889 she died at the ripe old age 9

When Nancy Russell was five years old she moved with her parents from her birthplace in Springfield, MA to Seneca, Ontario County, NY. This was the town where the Berry family had taken up residence following their arrival in the United States from
England in 1794. Nancy grew up in Seneca and at the age of sixteen married Robert Berry. Nancy was buried in Gleason cemetery in south Reading Township beside her husband, Robert Berry, who had died over forty years previously.

James Birdsell mallory is son of Matthew:

“James B Mallery, farmer, section 31, Sherman Twp., was born in Columbia Co. NY, Sept. 9, 1826. His father, Mathew Mallery, was a native of Connecticut, and his mother, Sarah (Cleveland) Mallery, of New York. After their marriage they settled in Columbia Co NY, and in the fall of 1845 settled in Hillsdale Co MI, where the mother died in 1854, and the father ten years later. James remained in New York until 19 year of age. His education included habits of industry and frugality, with rudiments of knowledge fathered at the district school of his county. He came with his parents to Hillsdale County, and remained with them until 26 years of age. From 1853 to 1855, he was engaged in farming and coopering. In the winter of 1855, he came with his family to Northern Michigan, leaving his wife and child 16 miles north of Grand Rapids, while he pushed his way through the forest in search of land for a home. He took up 240 acres of wild land under the Graduation Act, in what is now known as Sherman Township. He stayed two weeks and helped build a log house, when the snow was two feet deep on a level. This was the spot where Mr. Weller’s residence now stands in Fremont. He then returned for his wife and child, and they, accompanied by an aunt, proceeded to their new home in Newaygo Co.
       After chopping an acre of timber, he had inflammation of the eyes, which confined him to the house about two weeks. About the same time, Mrs. Mallery’s aunt was taken sick and was obliged to return home, leaving Mrs. M. alone. In the fall of 1855, he settled on his present farm of 100 acres, where he resides, and has 50 acres under cultivation. In 1865, he rented his farm in order to assist Wm. L. Stewart, his father-in-law, in conducting the “Stewart House” at Newago. He remained there eight years, then returned to his farm.
       Mr. Mallery was married in Cambria, Hillsdale County, Feb. 24, 1853, to Susan L., daughter of Wilkes L. and Frances (Hopkins) Stewart, the former a native of Massachusetts, and the latter of New York. They were married in the last named State, and came to Michigan for their wedding tour. They settled in Macomb County, where Mr. Stewart was engaged in farming, milling, and various other pursuits for 14 years. He then removed to Livingston County, where he remained until September 1846, when he went to Hillsdale County, and remained there until 1855, engaged in farming. Mr. Stewart met with financial reverses in Macomb County, and lost nearly all his worldly possessions; but by untiring perserverance and industry he succeeded in regaining a portion of his property. He left Hillsdale in 1855 and came to Newaygo County, where he took up land quite extensively, and has resided in this county ever since. He made the change in order to benefit his children. Mrs. Stewart died Nov 29, 1877, and Mr. S. now resides with his daughter, Mrs. Mallery.
       He was one of the first three Justices of the Peace in the township of Fremont. Willard Wilder and Sarah Ann Bernhard wre the first couple married in that township, and the ceremony was performed by Mr Stewart, on the 4th day of July, being the first day he held the office. He married Benjamin Ish under a tree at 3 o’clock in the morning. Mr. S is now in feeble heath.
       Mrs. M was born in Macomb Co. MI, and was the eldest daughter and third child of a family of seven children. She lived with her parents until her marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Mallory have one child, Fannie M., born Jan. 23, 1854, and is the wife of George BJ Raider; Mr. and Mrs. Raider have two children, namely: Clifton, who was born July 13, 1875, the day of the year also on which his father and great grandfather (Wilkes Steward 13 Jul 1803) was born; and Fred, born July 19, 1877.
       Mr. Mallery had held the office of Township Clerk, 17 years, Supervisor one year; has been School Inspector, and held other, smaller offices in the gift of the people. He is now Clerk of Sherman Township; is a member of the Masonic Order, and in politics is a Greenbacker. Himself and wife are members of the Fremont Grange, No 494, P. of H.” Newago County Pioneers

Two families, Wilkes L. Stuart's and Daniel Weaver's, who lived in the town of Cambria, Hillsdale County, Michigan, decided that they needed more land for their children. The parents said, "Why must we be separated from our children? Let us sell out and go with them. What are the comforts of home without the society of our children? This sentiment prevailed, and after a few earnest conversations on the subject it was decided to come north and look for that "lodge in the wilderness".

On January 1, 1855, W. L. Stuart and Daniel Weaver started from their home. On the third day they reached Lansing, where the Legislature was in session. Here they came across a old pioneer of Newaygo County, John A. Brooks, then a member of the Legislature. He invited them to take a look in this county north of Muskegon River. They then came north to Ionia, the United State land office being located there. Here they procured maps showing the unentered lands of several townships. Coming down the Grand River, they reached Grand Rapids on the 6th. and on the 7th. they came to Newaygo, where they were introduced to J. H. Standish, a young lawyer in that village and Hiram Butler, landlord of Newaygo's best hotel. Standish and Butler put them on the track of the vicinity of what is now Fremont. On the morning of the 8th, they shouldered their packs and waded through the snow, going north-west of Newaygo until they came to the pole shanties of John and Frank Harrington and Daniel Joslyn and his wife.(The Joslyns were one of the first married couples in the woods north of Newaygo). This location was one mile east of Fremont and was later called Elm Corners.

In the morning they looked around and made up their minds to pitch their tent where Fremont, has since been brought into existence. Later they returned to the United States land office again, at Ionia, where they purchased nearly 1,000 acres of land, 640 acres at .75 cents an acre, and the balance at $1.25 per acre. This purchase was made on the 1st. of Feb. 1855. They then returned to Hillsdale County and prepared to emigrate. In a few days they started back with five teams, seven or eight men, one woman and a baby: the woman was Mrs. Susan "Stuart" Mallery, and the baby, her daughter, Fanny, afterwards the wife of George B. Raider of Fremont.

A six day journey brought them to Lisbon, a small town, 16 miles north of Grand Rapids, Michigan where Mrs. Mallery with her infant stopped and stayed with her aunt, while the men came on and erected a dwelling. Commencing at Newaygo, near where the cemetery now stands, they cut their road into Joslyn's claim, and stayed with him over night. In fact they boarded and lodged with him while they put up a house. The beds were made up on the puncheon floor; and, although in the morning their backs would have made a good checkerboard, there was no complaint.

In the company were two brothers of indomitable energy and plunk, Henry and Samuel Shupe: these boys, together with Philip Weaver and Mallery, soon cut the house logs, and Shupe, with Thomas Stuart's stags, drew them through the deep and crusted snow. Philip Weaver cut and supplied the "persuaders,' of which it took a goodly number. Some culled lumber was hauled from Newaygo, and thirteen men and boys raised the 'old log house,' the first in Fremont. A large fire was kindled, and before a log was turned down (set in place), a shovel full of coals was put on the corner to make it 'stick.' The shingles were made by Joslyn, and the rafters cut and backed by Philip Weaver and Samuel Shupe, framed with a narrow ax, and in three weeks it was ready for the pioneers.

That house was looked upon with interest by many of the first settlers. There, for several weeks, 26 persons stretched their weary limbs upon its floors. There, the first wedding in the area was held between Thaddeus L Waters and Laura Jane Weaver on 27 May, 1855. (at that time the area was still part of Bridgeton Township). The Waters's first child was born there also. There, Dr. Weaver took his first lessons, and scores of travelers stopped, refreshed themselves and recuperated, and then pushed forward with renewed vigor into the howling wilderness. There, in 1855 the first town meeting was held and officers elected, and there, a new township was formed by taking the north twenty seven miles of Bridgeton Township and the name Fremont was suggested by Samuel Shupe, in memory of that old pioneer, Gen. John Fremont. There, in the house the first post office this side of Newaygo was established on the 23 Aug, 1856, by Daniel Weaver and was called Weaverville.

Wilkes L. Stuart's house-raising, which, according to Wallace Dickinson's diary, was the second house raised here, on the 14th. of April, 1855, and the Harringtons the third on 23rd of April, 1855. At the Harringtons raising there were present, Miles Hunts, James Mallery, Samuel Shupe, Lyman Brown, Daniel Joslyn, J. Cooper, Jonas Waters, Philip, John, and Wallace Dickinson and the three Harrington brothers.

In 1862 Daniel Weaver moved to where Hesperia is now located on the White River and the post office name was changed to Fremont Center as the settlement was located in the center of Fremont Township at that time. In 1882 the name of the post office was again changed, to just Fremont. In 1873 the village was incorporated by the act of the Legislature and in the spring of 1883 the village officers, elected were J. R. Odell, President; C. I. Rathbun, Clerk; John Cole, Treasurer, A. O. White, Assessor; R. J. Thompson, Street Commissioner; R. P. Piper, Marshal; John C. Brewster, Surveyor; Joseph Gerber, Chief Engineer of the Fire Department; S. P. Barnhard, M. B. Franklin, Joseph Gerber, J.R. Odell, J. T, Reynolds and R.W. Rutherford, Trustees.

Thomas H. Stuart, farmer, section 6, Garfield Township, was born in Washington, Macomb Co. Mich., Sept. 26, 1829, and was the son of Wilkes L. and Frances (Hopkins) Stuart. When he was 12 years old his father went to Tyrone, Livingston County, and took charge of 1,000 acres of timber land belonging to John A. Wells, Cashier of the Farmers & Mechanic's Bank, of Detroit, where the family resided seven years, clearing 100 acres.

In 1845, Mr. W. L. Stuart bought 100 acres of wild land in Hartland Township in the same county, and lying adjacent. He retained the place but a short time and went to Cambria, Hillsdale County, where he bought 40 acres of land, and by additional purchases increased his farm to 160 acres.

In 1855 he sold out and came to Newaygo County, accompanied by his son, Thomas H., where, in company with Daniel Weaver, he bought 320 acres of land on the present site of Fremont Center and east of that village. Under the regulations of the Homestead Act they could not hold the land in partnership, and it was consequently divided, Mr. Weaver taking the portion now constituting the village site. The entire tract was wild and covered with the primeval forest. Mr. Stuart and his companion made their way from Newaygo through unbroken woods, cutting their road as they advanced. On arrival they cleared a small space and built a cabin of logs, 18 x 24 feet in dimensions. The structure was occupied the succeeding winter by James B. Mallory and wife, Mrs. Stringham, Samuel and Henry Shupe and Philip Weaver, who kept open house for all new comers. Mr. Mallory built his house in the spring. Mr. Stuart, his son and Mr. Weaver returned to Hillsdale County for the winter. In the spring Mr. Stuart removed his family, consisting of his wife and three sons, to the new home.

On arrival in Newaygo County, Thomas H. Stuart bought 160 acres of land adjoining the farm where he reside, located on the southeast quarter of section 36 of town 13, range 14 west, where he built a house and resided about two years. In 1858 he went back to Hillsdale and passed one year, returning afterwards to his farm, where he cleared 50 acres, and resided until 1865, when he exchanged his farm for the Mateva Hotel at Newaygo. He managed the house about 18 months, when he again exchanged his property with his father for 80 acres of land. Only ten acres of this was under improvement at that time, but he later had 60 acres under cultivation with good residence, barns, orchards, etc., upon it. Mr. Stuart accepted his share of the responsibilities of public life in the county. He was Supervisor of the old township of Fremont one year, served 12 years as Justice of the Peace in Sherman Township, and filled the same position in Garfield Township after its re-organization. He had been Township Clerk several times and was Highway Commissioner, which office he had filled several years. He was one of the organizers of the Grange, No.494 at Fremont, in which he had held all the important offices. He was also one of the organizers of Pomona Grange, No. 11, at Newaygo, where he was an active worker in the interests of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry.

Mr. Stuart was married in Reading, Hillsdale Co., Mich., to Sarah A., daughter of Matthew and Sarah Mallory, and a native of the State of New York. Their two children, Wilkes C. and Mary A., were born on the first farm in (now) Dayton Township. The son married Mary Du Bois. The daughter had been a teacher since she was 16 years old, and was a student in the Literary Department of the Normal School of Michigan.
