William Mallory, Esq.

NOT the same person as Sir William Mallory of Studley. Birth date is a total WAG and he could have been significantly younger, or older.

There were several Malory/Mallory families by this time and at least one of them was completely unrelated in the male line (R haplotype to the "mainline" I Haplotype). This person may have belonged to any of them (except Studley or Newbold Revell, both of which are too well accounted for). Hikaru Kitabayashi thinks he was connected to the Papworth Mallorys: Sir William Mallory, Lord of Papworth may have been his grandfather.

"The third [son of Thomas Mallory of Papworth St. Agnes] (in this I agree with S. V. Mallory Smith rather than P.J.C. Field) was William. As Mallory Smith suggests, he might have been the William Mallory, esq. who was the third husband of Elizabeth Bruyn, the mother of Charles Brandon, husband of King Henry VIII's sister Mary and Duke of Suffolk. Another possibility might be that this particular William Mallory was the son of Robert Mallory the Lieutenant of the Constable of the Tower of London and the man I have presumed to be the younger son of Sir William Mallory and Margaret Burley. In any case, assuming this William Mallory to have been a member of the Papworth St. Agnes family would help to more economically explain part of why Sir Richard Mallory of London was later to have the astonishing access to the centers of power which he did toward the end of the reign of Edward VI." http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/mallory/2742/
