In May of this year I visited Mallorytown for the first time with my cousin Scott and his wife Judy. I spent a week in the area conducting research every afternoon at the genealogy centre in the basement of the Brockville museum. I've updated my Mallorys of Mallorytown page with a few photos taken there and I plan to develop a Weebly site similar to this one for the Mallory family sometime in the future.
It's interesting that my grandmother Alice Malinda Ripley married a man whose family had also come to Canada around the time of the American Revolution. Late one night I discovered that my grandfather Arleigh Deane Mallory was descended from the Mallory family, founders of Mallorytown. With the three-hour time difference between BC and Ontario, it was too late to call my mother, but first thing in the morning I called to share the news. "I knew that," she said. You'd think if you named a child Mallory you might mention a thing like that!

AuthorHi there! My name is Mallory Burton and I started researching the Ripley family in 2011. I'd describe myself as a careful amateur who's more interested in story than names and dates. I hope you enjoy my website and blog. I also have a public Mallory/Ripley tree on Ancestry with over 4,000 names. To contact me, please comment on any one of my blog posts. Archives
