From Pat Hatfield's research:
Thomas Mallet applied for a Revolutionary War pension in Perry Co. Kentucky. His pension is rejected, but provides valuable information on his life. He gives his age as 67 in 1826. Further, he says that he enlisted in Granville Co. NC about 1779. Accordingly, he would have been born about 1759.
In Bute Co. NC, county court ordered that Thomas Mellett aged Eleven Years, a base born Child born of the body of Esther Mellett be bound to William Bowdown, the said Master to learn his said Apprentice to read and write and the planters business. 14 February 1770. (Bute County NC Court Minutes by Brent Holcomb, p. 67). Bute County lies just across the state line from Mecklenburg County, Virginia where Esther's father and mother had resided. Wm Bowdown is also noted as taking in another young man as an apprentice. From Granville Co, NC Orphan Bonds 1749-1786; on Sept. 20, 1758 - Samuel Wells, 11 years old, orphan of Jno. Wells, bound to Wm. Bowden, to learn to be a planter. This is an interesting insight into the Bowdown (Bowdoin) family.
