About a half dozenyears ago, someone mentioned that the story of the brothers (including Samuel) was written and published insome little red book.I've never seen it.
You may find some information in "The History of Redding" which mentions the mallorys many times and include some of the information below:
(4) Major Myron Samuel Mallery 27 Jan 1743/44 Saybrook, Ct d 11 May 1822 Hillsdale, Columbia Co NY bur Mallery Cen Austerlitz stone: “In memory of Major Samuel Mallery who departed this life May 11, 1822 in the 79th year of his life.” = 30 Dec 1767 Hillsdale, NY Mary Carley 30 Jan 1744 Hillsdale d 19 Dec 1827 Hillsdale bur Mallery Cem. Austerlitz NY (Abraham Carley 1711 d 1790 Hillsdale bur old homstead farm Hilldale (nee Kobletown) = Susannah ____ 1724 d 13 Feb 1804; (note Abraham Carley also married to Eve____) Samuel Malloryserved as Sgt. In the Ninth Albany Co (Second Claverack) of the New York State Militia, under command of Col. Peter Van Ness.Abraham Carley was private in the company of Levi Stockwell, belonging to levies commanded by Lt Col Henry K Van Rensselaer (DAR 27088) Note: The Carleys later lived in Marathon NY
“In 1767 Samuel married Mary Carley at Hillsdale, N.Y. and in 1775 he built a log house in what is now known as the town of Austerlitz.”
In 1795 he built a farm house,s stories hight, the materials for which he prepared by hand, the nails were made at the blacksmith shop of wrought iron and the brick for the chimney were made from the clay died from the swamp.A kiln was made for burning them.As they were made by hand they were all sizes.
After “Major” Mallery’s death the house was occupied by his son Uriah, then by his granson Samuel M Mallery and (1896) is occupied by his great granddaughter Mrs. (Blurred) Benjamin Sitter and her family.Mr. Sitter has made many repairs and improvements to the house, but the frame, doors, floors, and walls are the same.In taking down one of the large chimneys a brick was found with tehd date 1795 cut into one side.“Major” Mallery died in 1822.His funeral sermon was preached from Eccl. 7:2 (It is better to the house of mouring, than the house of feasting), by Rev. Elisha D. Hubbel, the husband of his granddaughter Mary Knapp.This and his wife are buried on the family plot on the farm.”
“Abraham and Susanna Carley children: Mary born at Hillsdale., N.Y. Jan 3, 1742 died Dec 19, 1827.Moses, Joel, Martha (married David McKinstry), Job, Abraham, Simeon, Edreid daughter married Elysimore Wild and they had a son Silent Wild who kept a tavern in Ellensville, N.Y.”
Was Abraham a brother of John Carley?
“Almost certain that he was - John also had a son Abraham.We think John was the son of William and Mary Bowden Carley who were married in Boston by Cotton Mather in 1703 William was a son of Bartholomew's but haven't been able to verify anything. John's brother Abraham was married to Susannah Brookins.John's son Abraham was married to Susannah ? - after his death @1758/9 Susanna remarried Thaddeus Gray, son of Sarah Meeker Sherwood's aunt Elizabeth Sherwood who married William Gray.” AJoseph928
This is his brother:

HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF CORTLANDVILLE Part 2
William Mallory , already mentioned , moved into the village before 1815 , and became a prominent and influential citizen and politician. He built his residence on the site of the Squires block. On the same lot was a small building which served the purposes of county clerk's office until the old brick building was erected in1819. Mr. Mallory had a distillery a little west of the Rock Spring cheese factory. He was sheriff from 1800 to 1810 ; county clerk from 1815 to 1819 , and in 1823 was appointed judge of the Court of Common Pleas , succeeding Judge Keep….

" Early residents occasionally return here from their distant homes in the West and look with delight upon the growth and beauty of Cortland. It possesses many natural advantages. To these were added the enterprise and energy of sagacious men. Quite early in its history advances began in its material prosperity and the cultivation of the morals of society. Although the date of its origin was about the year 1815 , scarcely a building of that period now remains of its original foundation. All have been taken down , all pushed aside , to be supplanted by loftier and more costly structures. The old yellow store , which stood for nearly forty years on the southeast corner of Main street , build and occupied by Wm. and Roswell Randall , the theatre of their fortunes , and once resonant with the voices of their far-famed clerks , Eleazer W. Edgcomb and Delos Moody , had to move from its position and take a place on a retired street. Jacob Wheeler's blacksmith shop has given place to the foundry , and the modest home of Daniel Laisdell , for years a furniture dealer , has been dismissed for the tasteful residence of Stephen Brewer. Luce's tavern has yielded the supremacy to the Messenger House. The squires block is upon the lot which for years was the cherished home of the Hon. William Mallory ; and upon the same lot was a small wooden building kept as a clerk's office as late as the summer of 1819. Nearly opposite these premises was the lot on which stood the residence and office of Oliver Wiswell. Judge Wiswell and Judge Stephens were law partners. It was the earliest law firm in the county and for years they stood at the head of the bar. But residence and office have gone into the past , and the grounds upon which they stood are now covered with beautiful flowers , which are suggestive of other things which are beautiful-of gentleness , faith and hope
HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF CORTLANDVILLE
In the year 1800 Wilmont Sperry located in the town , on lot 73 ; he was from Woodbridge , Conn. Two years later William Mallory came in from Columbia county and permanently located. He soon afterward built a house where the Keator block now stands , corner of Main and Port Watson streets. He was the second sheriff of the county , appointed in 1809 , and was a man of unusual character and acquirements. In 1814 he was elected to the Assembly and as county clerk in 1815. In 1819 he was elected to the State Senate , and was appointed county judge in 1823. He died in 1837.
The first settlements within the present corporate limits of this village have already been referred to in the early pages of the history of the town. With the location and pioneer labors of such men as Jonathan Hubbard , Moses Hopkins , Obadiah Boies , William Mallory , David Merrick , Joshua Bassett , Oliver Wiswell , Henry Stephens , and scores of others to whom we shall herein refer , will forever be honorably associated the early growth and prosperity of Cortland ; and their noble example seems to have brought to life in the later days of unexampled advancement in the village the same qualities which inspired their hearts when the broad valley was forest-covered and the hill-tops echoed with the nightly howls of the wolf.
Samuel Hotchkiss , also , settled in Cortland as early as 1815 and became a prominent citizen. He was made deputy clerk of the county by Wm. Mallory in 1815 , and held the office under him and two succeeding clerks , Joshua Ballard and Matthias Cook , until January 1st , 1823.
The Cayuga Association of Universalists convened at the Baptist Church in Cortland June 7th and 8th , 1815. June 19th , 1829 , a meeting was held at the home of David Merrick , when a society was formed by the name of the " First Universalist Society of Homer "(Homer at that time comprised the present towns of Homer and Cortlandville). David Peck , Jacob Badgley and David Mallery were elected trustees , and Lewis Boies , clerk. Since 1833 the society has held regular annual meetings , electing its officers , etc. The present neat church-edifice was completed in 1837 , at a cost of about six thousand dollars.
The hardware , stove and tinware business now conducted by Smith & Kingsbury at No. 12 North Main street was established in 1859 by E.D. Mallery , in the old Lyman building , corner of Main street and Groton avenue. This was the second tin and hardware store in the village , and was started on a very small scale , the storeroom now occupied by C.H. Gaylord's grocery being devoted to the sale of hardware , and having a small tin shop in the rear.The hardware , stove and tinware business now conducted by Smith & Kingsbury at No. 12 North Main street was established in 1859 by E.D.

Gaylord's grocery being devoted to the sale of hardware , and having a small tin shop in the rear. Soon after the business was established and during the same year (1859) , Mallery sold to the firm of Mills & Goodrich , who carried on the business four years , in 1863 or 1864 securing the frame building then standing on the corner of Main and Court streets (and which had been occupied many years as a seminary) , and removing it to the present site turned it into a hardware store and tin shop.

John A. Freer came into town at this time from Duchess county , and located on lot 74. He became a prominent citizen of the village , as did also his sons , Anthony and S.D. Freer , the latter of whom still lives there.
