The Mallorys and Frenchs intermarried a number of times..in Ct, Vt and Ontario....here's one that didn't quite work out.
Samuel M Mallory of Woodbury = 20 Aug 1854 Hannah French of Bridgeport (div Sep 1858; desertion 20 Oct 1857 – adultery with George Hunt, Frederick Perkins, Edward Root and others – petition 5 Jun 1858)(Ct. Divorces – counties of Litchfield and Hartford)
Samuel gave up on women after that and joined the Army.
The Frenchs and Mallorys lived near each other and apparent moved to Vt together:
Samuel French, third, was born about the year 1710, in England, was was brought to America by his parents in 1714.He spent his boyhood in Stratford and probably learned the trade of carpenter and joiner, working with his father.He acquired land in the Town of Stratford at an early age and his dwelling-house was not far from his father's homestead farm.He was deeded four pieces of land in 1735, the first on May 12, 1735, described as four acres of the 13th lot of the new third-mile division.Under May 16, the record states; "laid out a parcel of the new three-mile division on the hill a little to the south-west of Thomas Beardslee's House; also a piece on the east side of the highway at the north end of his father's home lot."The hill referred to was probably Trapfall Hill near the "out-off" road leading from the Ripton road south to the Wells Hollow Road, about two and one-half miles north-east of the present Nichols Farms in Trumbull.On July 2, 1735 he and his eldest brother, Jeremiah French, bought of Zaccheus Mallery seventeen and one-quarter acres of land with a dwelling house and barn in the Parish of Ripton, apparently in Walnut Tree Hill District.June 29, 1738 Jeremiah deeded to Samuel his interest in this property, describing it as "ye full and equall half of seventeen acres & a quarter of Hom lot Land with ye half of ye Dwelling House & Barn thereon scituate and lying in the Parish of Ripton in the bounds of said Stratford at Mohegan Hills so called, ye granted premises being of Land and Buildings ye Grantor & Grantee purchased of Zaccheus Mallery."etc....It would appear that this was the home farm of Samuel French, third......
Nathaniel Mallory's daughter,Mary, married Jeremiah Mallory, the son of Enoch Mallory and one of his two wives, Huldah French or eunice French.mary's mother was Abiah Beardsley, daughter of Isreal Beardsley andElizabeth French.

“In the Revolutionary War, one of Peter’s (Mallory) decendants, Enoch Mallory, deserted from the American Army.He crossed the ice on the St Lawrence River in a hail of bullets, to join the English army drawn up on the opposite bank.There he changed his uniform in view of the enemy.After the war, he was given a grant of land in 1779, where Mallorytown was to rise.His brother, Daniel, who had been living in Vermont, settled in Mallorytown in 1784.” Mallorys in the Commonwealth, Chapter Ten, North America, pages 129-30.” Sheila Mallory Smith
