Hello Nancy,
Re: Connection.
If your James Mallard is related to William and Susannah Mellard of Four Holes, Orangeburg County SC and/or if James Henry Mallard Inabinet was named for James Harry Mellard of Berkeley County SC, then we may indeed have a connection.
What can you tell me about your uncle James Mallard?
Regards,
Robert Hughes
