William Malet was the eldest son of Baldwin Malet and his wife Anne, daughter of Sir John Horner of Mells, Knight. He was baptised at St. Audries April 28th, 1680; his will was made in 1722, on the eve of his departure for the West Indies;* he married twice--

He had issue one daughter--
Anne Malet, who died a spinster.
I do not find the date of death of his daughter Anne, but he was succeeded in his estate by his brother, Baldwin Malet.
