- Excerpt from "Notices of an English Branch of the Malet Family", by Arthur Malet, published 1885, pp 57-58, appendix Y1:
MALACHI MALET OF POYNTINGTON.
Malachi Malet was the third son of John Malet of Ullegh, by his wife Margaret, daughter of Humphrey Moncke of Powdridge, Devon. His elder brother, Robert, left no male issue, and Francis, the next son, was not more fortunate. His younger brother, Michael, was not married, and made a will* leaving all his property to Malachi, who, however, predeceased him, on which it was left to Malachi's son Thomas. Poyntington was evidently his residence, from the gift left by will to the poor of that place.
Malachi Malet married Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Trevanion of Cornwall. He died before 1636, the date of the will of his brother Michael. By his wife, Elizabeth, he had issue two children:
1. Ann, married to . . . . Garrett.
2. Thomas Malet, his heir.
* Michael Malet, Nov'r 29, 1636. Lands in Black Torrington, Sutcombe, and East Verworth, Devon, conveyed to my late brother Malachi Malet and his heirs; for the full assurance thereof I devise these lands to my nephew Thomas Malet, Serg't -at -law, he being the son and heir of my said late brother Malachi. To my nephew and godson Richard Ferrars £100. To my niece Eleanor Halfe (Halse?) £10. To my nephew and executor Thomas Malet all my goods, etc. To poor of Poyntingotn 40s.
