Wife of Dr. Archibald Alexander Malloy of Cheraw SC.

Graduated in 1842 from No. 9 Washington Square, Philadelphia, PA
"Exclusive" boarding school of Misses Mary R and Helen M Smith. Henrietta spoke French and Greek, and was a highly accomplished painter.
Married Dr. Malloy in 1843. Mother of six sons and three daughters; Anna Maria, John Charles, Mary Elizabeth, Edward Cuyler., David Coit, Archibald Alexander II, Henry Winthrop, William Herbert and Henrietta Maria. All three girls died as children.

Additionally, she lovingly raised her husband's two orphaned nieces, Catherine Malloy "Cattie" Bunting and Sarah "Sally" Bunting, daughters of Col. Richard C. Bunting and Sarah Malloy (McEachin) Bunting.

Their home was in Cheraw, Chesterfield District, South Carolina - the
Old McKay Place, where Gen LaFayette was entertained when he visited Cheraw. Became a depot for the outfitting of recruits for the Civil War.

From her ward Catherine Malloy "Cattie" Bunting Coit:
"Henrietta Coit Malloy was a noble woman of strong energetic character, fearless nature, intense enthusiasm and unbounded generosity. She was small of stature, wearing #1 shoes, and when in a painting mood, shut herself up alone and could be interrupted by nobody. She bore nine children but found time for much public service. Her interest in the Southern Cause was without limit. Shortly after Secession early in 1862, her brother William Coit formed a company of soldiers and devoted himself to recruiting and drilling them for service. Mrs. Malloy constituted herself recruiting officer and could be seen early and late riding through the country, talking, urging, influencing men to join the ranks. Many were the men whom she won by her sweet, gracious manner and inspired by her great zeal and patriotism to enlist."
