This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Mallorysville. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Mallorysville.<1>

Our sources for Mallorysville (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Mallorysville other than they indicate that Mallorysville would be found somewhere in Wilkes County, Georgia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1822 and closed  in 1903.
