Malott family history
Nearly every Malott, Mellott, Marlatt and Marlett family tree in America leads back to one man: Gedeon (Gideon) La Plante Merlet, a Huguenot carpenter from Roucy, in Champagne, France. Driven out by religious persecution, he lived in Holland and Germany, then sailed with his wife and four sons to New Amsterdam, arriving in February 1663. His grandsons spread across New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania, and their descendants carried the name, in a dozen spellings, west to Ohio, Illinois and beyond.
Fourteen generations of the Malott name, from Roucy, France, around 1600, to the present.
