NOTE: On December 22. 1695 a deed was made to him for 6160 acres of Land
by Chickamony Indians on Pamunkey Neck.
Capt Roger MALLORY had been granted 2,514 acres of Land on the south side
of the Mattapony River in the parish of St. John's, in the county of New
Kent, and the patent for the said Land was Lost in the troubles during Bacon's
Rebellion.
It was on this tract of Land on which Capt Roger MALLORY established his
home,near the Indian Town. The exact site is not known but it was in this
area.
Captain Roger MALLORY was a Justice in the Court of New Kent in 1680 and
Later, a justice for the Co. of King and Queen and in the Ist Commission
of Justice for King William. [VMHB, V 14, p 2151
The metes and bounds of the Large dividend are not known but it include
the Land on which the Indian Town was Located, and extended up the Mattapony
River.

Roger came to Virginia before 1680 and was established on the Mattapony
River soon thereafter and here reared his family: William MALLORY, Roger
MALLORY, Thomas MALLORY, Charles MALLORY, John MALLORY, ELizabeth MALLORY,
who married Martin PALMER, and Jane MALLORY who married John QUARLES. In
a deposition made by Arthur JOHNS on 23 January 1760, he stated that he
Lived within a mile and a half of Roger MALLORY, and knew his son, John,
and went to school with him, before he went to England. The John's home
was above the creek more recently known as Madison's Creek, which is the
1st creek above Sandy Point in King William Co. [Watt Cenealogicel Society
Quarterly, V61, p1261
This places the MALLORY residence in the area near Sandy Point end, since
the same sites for homes were commonly used, it probably was at Sandy Point
that Captain Roger PALMER had his residence.
It is known that Captain PALMER traded off a part of his tract of Land to
the Chickahomonie Indians, for land elsewhere, and since the Indian Town
has been at the same piece, this is the same tract on which the Indian Town
now stands, which Captain PALMER conveyed to them. After John QUARLES was
compelled to Leave his seat on Bull Swamp, having married Jane MALLORY,
a daughter of Capt Roger MALLORY, John QUARLES appeared in the area of Indian
Town and was reported to have bought some Land and to have driven the Indians
off.
