- Rev. Philip Mallory appears in the Virginia records as early as 1656, but was probably in Virginia much earlier. He was a son of Dr. Thomas Mallory, dean of Chester, matriculated at Corpus Christi College, May 28, 1634, aged seventeen; was B. A. from St. Mary’s Hall, 1637; M. A., 1640; and vicar of Norton, Durham, in 1641. His brother, Rev. Thomas Mallory, was ejected by the Parliamentary party from his living during the civil war, but was reinstated canon of Chester in 1662 by King Charles II. Rev. Philip Mallory married Catharine, daughter of Robert Batte, vice-master of Oxford University, and removed with his wife’s relatives, the Battes, and settled in Virginia.
He was a man of high character and exemplary piety, and stood at the head of the church in Virginia. In 1656, he was authorized by the general assembly, in connection with Mr. Roger Green, to examine into the competency of all ministers in the colony. He officiated at the two assemblies at Jamestown March, 1658 and 1659, and had charge of the religious services when Charles II, was, with great rejoicing, proclaimed at York, Virginia, October 20, 1660. In March, 1661, the legislature testified that “Mr. Philip Mallory, had been eminently faithful in the ministry, and very diligent in endeavoring the advancement of those means that might conduce to the advancement of religion in this country,” and appointed him “to undertake the soliciting of our church affairs in England.” He reached London, but died soon after and his will was proved July 27, 1661. In 1660, his nephew, Roger Mallory, obtained from York court a certificate for a grant of land “for the use of Mr. Philip Mallory.” Roger settled in King and Queen County, and had a son William, who was ancestor of the distinguished family of his name, resident in Elizabeth City County, Virginia.
The Battes, who have been numerously represented in Virginia, were of Okewell, County York, England. (See Genealogist for October 1898, pages 86-88.) John Batte, brother of Mrs. Mallory, married her husband’s sister, Martha Mallory, was a royalist. He was fined £364, and is said to have been a captain at the battle of Adwalton. The pedigree says that two of his sons, Thomas and Henry, came to Virginia. (See Genealogist.) In April, 1668, “Thomas Batte and Henry Batte, sonnes of Mr. John Batte decd,” obtained a patent for 5,878 acres, 2 roods and 8 rods on Appomattox River for 118 “head-rights,” or emigrants; and among the names represented were John Batte, Sr., John Batte, Jr., William Batte, Thomas Batte, Henry Batte, Nathaniel Mallory, Sr., Nathaniel Mallory, Jr., William Mallory, Thomas Mallory, Elizabeth Mallory, and Roger Mallory. So it seems from this that John Batte, the cavalier, and all his sons, John, William, Thomas and Henry, came to Virginia, as well as a whole host of Mallorys. Mrs. Mallory had also two uncles in Virginia, William and Henry Batte.
