I would like to share the following from a former discussion of the Mallow family. I would like to hear your opinions......Billie Jo Hi I am really glad there has been alot of questions on the Mallow family. I noticed in your email that you had Johan Michael Mallow married to Mary Miller. What resources do you have that states this. I have found the following information concerning Johan Michael and I would like any resources that would show he was married to a Mary Miller. The only references I have found is in family information from individuals which had no evidence. I have found the following on Johan Michael Mallo and his wives and I am willing to share the information. I do however want to mention information that I have obtained over the years that may have some support that indicates that Michael's second wife might be Mary Ingles of Philadelphia and not the folklore Mary Miller mention in many references. But again, I could be wrong. Lets sort out the following facts: First, I also have the following information by Rick Toothman - Pendleton County (West) Virginia, Deed book Records, 1788-1813 and Annette Kuselman Burgert's Eighteenth Century Immigrants for the Northern Alsace to America. According to Burgert's information on page 354 of her book, "Joh. Michael Mallo and his wife Anna Margretha had a daughter Anna Maria b. 19 Oct. 1749, bp. 22 Oct 1749. Sponsors were listed as Joh. Ramler, single; Anna Maria Moser. Michael Mallo was the son of Hans Dieboldt Mallo and Anna Catharina Voltz. He immigrated in 1749 on the Phoenix." This has raised the following questions: Ø Was Michael Mallo married in Alsace? Ø What was Anna Margretha's maiden name? The above information does indicate that Michael probably was married in Alsace. Burgert further supplies records from Chalkley's Chronicles: "Augusta co. adms: Dated 18 May 1758 - Michael Mallow's bond as Adm. of Peter Moser. His estate was settle 28 June 1758 by Michael Mallow. Michael Mallo also settled Georg Mouse's estate on 28 June 1758. Michael Mallow also appraised several estates, including John Conrad in 1759, Ludwick Foalkes in 1760, Andrew Smith in 1765, Valentine Giles in 1766. 16 Mar. 1773. Adam Mallow and Fred. Keester's bond (with Henry Stone, John Skidmore) as Adm. of Michael Mallow. Mallow's estate was appraised 8 Apr. 1773." Now we see that Michael was in the Augusta Area before 1758 and died sometime around 1772. Rick Toothman states the following "Johann Michael Mallo, son of Hans Diebolt Mallo and Anna Catharina Voltz, b 8 October 1720 at Griesbach, d. late 1772 in Augusta Co. VA (now Pendleton Co, WV). Family lore calls his wife Mary Miller. Ø It appears that he was married more than once, and it is certain that he married (1) overseas, but hasn't been able to locate a European record of his first marriage. Michael emigrated to America on the ship Phoenix, arriving in the fall of 1749. Shortly afterward, a daughter of Johann Michael Mallo and Anna Margaretha was bp in Berks Co, PA. By about 1753, Michael was living on Mallows Run of the South Branch. He had a survey that year of 470 acres, patented in 1761. Michael's wife and children were captured by Indians about 1758, during the French and Indian War; his wife and son Adam later returned, along with another son, Henry, born during the mother's captivity, but a daughter was lost. He died by 21 November 1772, when a lawsuit of his abates by death of plaintiff. Estate records call his widow Mary Mallow". Here Mr. Toothman makes record of Mary twice and indicates he was possibly married twice. Other references I have state the following: According to Colonel Henry Boget's Papers, Manuscript Number 21646 page 44 on the 26 Feb 1761. He has a letter written by a W. Hoy which indicated the wife of Michael Mallow captured by Indians in 1758. The papers indicate that she was in the same fort as the George Mouse family and was sold later to a French man and was living in Montreal, Canada in 1761. Henry Boqet had taken an expedition in the summer of 1764 to return captives in the 1763 Pontiac and French & Indian War. This information was abstracted by historian and genealogist Bill Rice who does extensive research of this time period. So we know in 1758, Michael's wife was captured, we don't know her name however. Was it Anna Margartha? I obtained a record by looking at the records of a film located at the nearby Mormon church. This film was of the Evangelical Lutheran Congregation on the Oley Hills, Colebrookdale, Berks County, PA., known as Oley Hills Union Church in Pike Township. According to the church records. "Married by the Rev. Alexander Murray on Dec. 3, 1769 Michael Mallo in Augusta Co. of Virginia and Mary Ingle of Philadelphia County, PA were married." This information is from the Register of Marriages of the Church of Reading & SA Gabriel's in Berks County, PA. Information was on page 259. In an email note from Nedra Brill, she stated the following about ministers of this time period: " Ministers were scarce and traveled very extensive circuits. Travel conditions were on horseback and "less than ideal." Paper was scarce and they traveled as lightly as possible to save their horse. Thus, they did not carry a book, pen and ink around with them but waited until returning home to record the marriages and baptisms performed during their trip. Most did not keep a separate book for these circuit trips. Rather the rites were recorded in the church book of their current charge. In essence, this was THEIR book as it always starts "Marriages performed by the Rev. -----, pastor of ---. Without further knowledge of the circumstances, one should never assume that all rites were performed within the walls of that church. For further info on these traveling ministers, one can read Rev. Paul Henkel's extensive diaries of his travels which went from Rockingham to NC, Tennessee and Ohio, several times. Ø We are also fortunate to have Rev. John Casper Stoever's records of baptisms and marriages. He did keep a separate personal ledger and many of these rites also appear in the church book of his congregation during the same era. I point out this book because generally he indicated where the event occured. He was in Oley and in Hanover, and was also in Opequon (Berkeley Co., WV) and frequently at Monocacy (Frederick Co., MD) Thus, when the minister says that he married them IN Augusta County, VA, that is very probably true. The ministered traveled, not the groom! By reading several more pages of this church record, you might be able to tell if this minister performed ceremonies in various neighborhoods/counties." Ø Now this brings up a few questions. 1. Are we sure this is Michael who came from Germany and settled in Augusta County, VA (now Pendleton, Co. WV)? "I think so" 2. What happened to his first wife? 3. Where is his first wife buried? 4. How many children did his first wife have? Now a few more references indicate the following: According to the records of the Peaked Mountain Church in Rockingham County, VA. George Mallo and his wife Anna Barbara had a son Michael who is born Jan 29, 1757. His sponsors were Michael Mallo and Barbara Ebermann. So we see by this record, that Michael was in the Rockingham County in 1757 to witness his brothers child Michael at his birth and baptism. Another excellent reference is by Emmert F. Bittinger - Allegheny Passage, Churches and Families, West Marva District, Church of the Brethren, 1752-1990 states the following on the Mallow Family. "The founder of the South Branch Mallow family was Michael who died in 1772. His wife's name was Mary. This information comes from court records which contain the information that Mary was unable to administer her husband's estate and that Adam Mallow and Frederick Kiester were appointed to do so (Chalkley, I, 170). They posted bond on Mar. 16, 1773. Ø Michael evidently died without a will and the administration and settlement of the estate was lengthy. Finally, on Nov. 16, 1779, the sale bill was recorded by the court (Chalkley, III, 156). Bittinger continues to mention that Michael may have immigrated on the Phoenix on Sept. 15, 1749 for the name Johann Michael Mallo appears on the ship list. Johann Georg Malle immigrated the following year, also on the Phoenix, arriving on Aug 28, 1750. Michael Mallow is described by Morton as one of the earliest settlers of Pendleton County, having arrived in 1753. (338). He was naturalized on May 18, 1762, as recorded at the Augusta County Courthouse that year (Chalkley, I, 97)" In the History of Pendleton County, West Virginia by Oren F. Morton, on page 252, Morton mention Michael married to Mary________. Also, he mentions the story of Mrs. Mallow being captured by Indians. Again, we have Mary mentioned. On page 48, Morton stated " At the time of this raid the home of Michael Mallow lay in a very exposed position. He in some way escaped, but his wife and son were carried off. Being told the wife was no longer living. Mallow was on the point of taking a second helpmate. But news of a different tenor reached him in time, and the two were reunited. The boy was recovered and was identified only through a mark on his thumb. Another, son Henry, was born during the wife's captivity." So we see here, that Michael almost got married when he thought his wife was dead. I wonder who he was planning to marry. The last reference, I will mention is a paper I have obtain from the very first Mallow reunion which was held at Seneca Park, Pendleton County, WV on Sept. 11, 1960. In O.R. Mallow's paper, he indicated that he has obtain some of the information from a geneologist, Ramon D. Mallow of Texas. He indicates that Michael came south through Maryland and into Virginia. He stated the following "We think Michael married Mary Miller in what is now Rockingham Co. VA. About 1753, he came across the mountains and settle on Mallow's Run near Upper Tract, then Augusta County, VA, now Pendleton County, WV. In 1758, tragedy befell Michael's home and family when the Indians destroyed Fort Upper Tract and perpetrated the massacre at Fort Seybert. Mrs. Mallow and two children, one a boy, Adam, six or seven years of age, and a baby girl were captured at the home. Michael was away and escaped capture and perhaps death." So again we see the mention of a Mary. I agree with Rick Toothman, that Michael did marry twice. First to Anna Margareta and later to a Mary. But was the Mary a Miller or did Michael marry Mary Ingles. According to Mr. Toothman's book page 225 Johann Georg Mallo, a brother to Michael, married his cousin Anna Barbara, daughter of Johann Christoph Muller. Muller (Miller), his cousin was a Muller. Maybe this is where family folklore has indicated Miller. They were related and married into the Miller family. Is it possible that it is a family error handed down over generations. Hey, everyone makes a mistakes. Anyhow, I know the following was lengthy but I just wanted to let everyone researching the Mallow's know that I find very little evidence which indicates that Johan Michael Mallo was married to Mary Miller. I could be wrong and if I am please feel free to correct me. This would make a excellent discussion on this listserve with everyone who is researching the Mallow family and maybe there will be several people out there in cyberland that could answer these questions. I could be wrong, but I think Michael was married twice and that he returned after his first wife's death and remarried to Mary Ingles. As you can see there has been references to his death and about his wife Mary. Evidently, Anna Margartha was the one who was captured by the Indians. Maybe or Maybe not. If I am wrong, please correct me. Anyone willing to share info, please contact me.
