David Malloy - Civil War: David Malloy was sent with other prominent Memphians south of the line because of his refusal to take the oath of allegiance. His house and household goods were seized and occupied by the Union General. David Malloy was a banker and told the people that for every dollar of Confederate money deposited in his bank he would pay in gold at the close of the war. This he did, giving up all he had to keep his word, for his word needed no other bond but his integrity.
