• Notes

  02 Apr 1843 Wilmot, Wellington District, Upper Canada letter written by James to his older brother William who settled in PEI at about the same time as James came to Wilmot (1831/32). The transcript was done by Hazel J Mallett, G grand daughter of William Mallett. The original letters (or one of them at least) are in the possession of Hazel's family, descendants of William. www.mallettfamilyhistory.org _______________ James and Elizabeth were both born in Devonshire, England; he on a farm called Birchill, near the village of Langtree, she in Pilton, near Barnstaple. James was the sixth child, and fifth son of Humphrey Mallett and Catherine Balson. James and Elizabeth were married in Pilton in 1824. Their first three children, and possibly the fourth, were born in the British Isles, the rest of the children were born in Canada. James seems to have been well educated; his occupation was listed as "Schoolmaster", when their first son was christened in Barnstaple in 1826. Sometime between the birth of the first child and the third in Exeter in 1830, James had learned the trade of carpentry, and his occupation this time was listed as "Joiner".

He was born near Langtry, Devonshire, England in 1799, was married at Pelton Parish Church on Christmas Day 1824, came to Canada in 1832 and purchased a farm in the township of Wilmot, county of Waterloo, where he resided nearly ever since. His partner in life died on the 13th November 1864. He was a faithful member of the Episcopal Church, being a member of the building committee of St. James Church in Wilmot, in which he was a worshipper for upwards of thirty-five years. The building was consecrated while Rev. W. B. Rally was incumbent of the parish. Mr. Mallett was a staunch Conservative and lived an exemplary Christian life. He had a family of nine children.

His youngest daughter, Caroline, now Mrs, John Price, of Port Stanley, was the first organist of St. James' Church. Henry Mallett, long identified with St. James' and St. George's, was a son, and Mrs. Thos. R. Smith is a daughter.
