Lemuel was born in Plymouth, CT, the son of Thomas Mallery and Louisa Platt. Lemuel was 4 years old when his father died. There is a family document which states that Lemuel went to live with his aunt and uncle, the Rev. John Sherman and wife, Hannah Platt, the sister of Lemuel's mother, Louisa Platt. But since Lemuel's mother Louisa didn't remarry and is shown living in Delaware County along with the Sherman's, it might be that Lemuel simply spent a lot of time with his aunt and uncle or that the two families lived together and John Sherman cared for his widowed sister-in-law and her children.
Regardless, Rev. John Sherman and his family moved to Meredith, New York in Delaware County as indicated by the 1800 census, as did the family of Phoebe (Bradley) Tuttle and several of her children, including daughter Esther who ended up marrying Lemuel.
The Mallery, Platt, and Tuttle families of the Litchfield, CT area were obviously close and related through several marriages. In 1810, Lemuel married Esther Tuttle (d.o. William Tuttle III, and Phoebe Bradley).
After marriage, Lemuel and Esther settled on Partridge Island, not far from Meredith, New York and worked as a carpenter. Lemuel and Esther were members of the Meredith Square Baptist Church. Lemuel was instructed in the Bible and theology and was given a license to preach (ordained). However, I find no record in which he actually pastored a church. He obviously was a man of strong Christian faith and probably filled in preaching the gospel whenever and wherever he was given the opportunity.
In early 1832, the family of Lemuel and Esther moved to the other side of the river, crossing the bridge in Hancock (the state border) to Wayne County, Pennsylvania, settling at Ball's Eddy in Winterdale township, a couple miles south of Hancock, NY.
In 1838, Lemuel went to Savannah, GA to engage in the draying business (hauling logs with a large flat wagon) for two years and then returned to his Pennsylvania home, where he died a year later. He is buried in an unmarked (or lost headstone) grave in the Riverside Cemetery in Hancock, NY according to Riverside Cemetery burial records.
Lemuel and Esther had at least six known children and probably more, but whose records are lost or yet to be uncovered:
1) Thomas Mallery (1811 - 1860) m. Chastina Dunham Belknap
2) John Sherman Mallery (1814-1857) m. Elizabeth Hall
3) Phoebe Esther Mallery (1815-1856) m. Solomon Coach
4) Lydia Ann Mallery (1824-1887) m. William Stoddard
5) Malvina Mallery (ca 1820-died giving birth) m. (Solomon?) Hinkley
6) Sarah Mallery (?-?) m. William Salisbury
