Samuel Mallery was born in Saybrook, CT, the son of Peter Mallery, who was one of the original proprietors of Hillsdale (formerly Nobletown) in the 1750s.
In 1760, at the age of sixteen, Samuel served with his older brother William in the French and Indian War as a New York Provincial Troop in Captain Van Vegten's Company. They served again in 1761. He married Mary Carley on December 30, 1767. Although the location of their first residence is unknown, in 1775 they moved to the present location of the Mallery Family Burial Ground and built a log house on approximately 230 acres.
During the Revolutionary War, Samuel served as a Sergeant in the 9th Albany County Militia. He was sent out to hunt Tories in October of 1776 and served as part of Abraham Ten Broeck's Brigade during the second Battle of Saratoga, Bemis Heights. He was promoted to Lieutenant in 1786, Captain in 1791, and Major in 1795. (DAR Ancestor # A073264)
He built a two story frame house in 1795.
In 1800 he resigned from the militia and served as the Town Supervisor of Hillsdale from 1800-1808. In 1804 he purchased from the Van Rensselear family the land that he had cultivated as a tenant farmer for 29 years. The deed was drafted and signed by Alexander Hamilton, who's wife was a Van Rensselear.
Samuel and Mary had six children that survived to adulthood. The stories that he would tell his grandchildren are documented in Columbia County at the End of Century, The Record Printing and Publishing Company, Hudson, NY (1900), pp 381-383. His French and Indian War and Revolutionary War service records are available through New York historical publications. The road that his farm was on was named in his honor in 1962.
