Benajah's father was Odgen Mallory who founded Wells Rutland Vt.     Dayton, wife Abigail coggswell, Benajah and Abiah Mallory removed to Canada in 1793 where Dayton had received a large grant of land.   Dayton died shortly thereafter and Abigail remarried to Col Joel Stone.    Mallory was elected to Parliment but when the War of 1812 broke out he sided with the Americans and fought alongside his brother Capt Gil Mallory.   He has forever be branded a traitor in Canada.     Several of his daughters and his returned to Canada to live with their mother in law. Benajah was imprisoned for awhile...met a woman while there and remarried...she lived to be 106...while he died less than a year after their marriage.    The story of her attempts to collect on his pension is quite a saga.   If anyone is curious to learn more about Smith Henderson Mallory ancestry I am happy to help.    Henderson was his mother maiden name and his uncle married his mother's sister.   thanks so much,   Mallory Smith   SH Mallory's long obit refers to uncle John van Nortwick...    John married Smith Mallory's sister Patty.   (7) Patty Maria Mallory 30 Jul 1812 Pen Yan, Yates Co.
