Biographical Notes:
Garrick Mallery was the son of Garrick and Hannah [Minor] Mallery of Middlebury, CT. After he was admitted to the bar he became the legal partner of Judge Welles. In 1827 he was elected to the State Legislature in Pennsylvania without a party nomination and was reelected the next three years. After serving as the presiding Judge of the Third Judicial District of PA, Mallery moved to Philadelphia where he established a very successful legal practice.

At the time of his death, Mallery was the oldest active member of the bar in Philadelphia. He was even involved in a hotly contested jury trial only six weeks before his death.

Related Objects and Documents
In the Ledger:
The Citation of Attendance provides primary source documentation of the student’s attendance at the Litchfield Female Academy and/or the Litchfield Law School. If a citation is absent, the student is thought to have attended but currently lacks primary source confirmation. Records for the schools were sporadic, especially in the formative years of both institutions. If instructors kept comprehensive records for the Litchfield Female Academy or the Litchfield Law School, they do not survive. Researchers and staff have identified students through letters, diaries, family histories and genealogies, and town histories as well as catalogues of students printed in various years. Art and needlework have provided further identification of Female Academy Students, and Litchfield County Bar records document a number of Law School students. The history of both schools and the identification of the students who attended them owe credit to the early 20th century research and documentation efforts of Emily Noyes Vanderpoel and Samuel Fisher, and the late 20th century research and documentation efforts of Lynne Templeton Brickley and the Litchfield Historical Society staff.
