HON. ROBERT MALLORY (deceased) was born in Madison County, Va., November
11, 1815, the son of William and Mary (Gibson) Mallory, also natives
of Virginia, but of English parentage.  He was educated at the University of
Virginia, and in 1838 came to Kentucky and began the practice of law at
New Castle, where he remained four or five years, and then on account of
ill health he removed to a farm in Oldham County.  On January 28, 1840,
he married Miss Matilda, daughter of Maj. William and Susan H. (Gibson)
Taylor, natives of Virginia, but early settlers of Oldham County, Ky.
William Taylor was a general surveyor, and a major in the State Militia,
and died in 1836, his widow following two years later, in 1838.  R. Mallory
left four children: Bettie W., Robert, Mattie and Fannie.  Robert Mallory
in early life had been a Whig, and was a delegate to the national
convention that nominated Gen. Zachary Taylor for the presidency.  On the
dissolution of the Whig party he became a Democrat, and was elected to
Congress in 1860, and twice re-elected by the Democrats of the Louisville
District, and in that body was a member of the Ways and Means Committee.
In 1876 he was appointed by the governor a commissioner to the Centennial
Exposition at Philadelphia.  His death occurred on August 11, 1885.
Mrs. Mallory was born April 30, 1820, and is a distant relative of both
President Taylor and President Madison.  She owns and resides upon the
old homestead, comprising about 500 acres, near Ballardsville.
