Who was Zachariah Mallory mentioned in this online article?

"A Most Curious Choice
The mystery surrounding the establishment of the Eastern State Hospital in Williamsburg
...That there shall be a hospital for the 'Support of Ideots, Lunatics, and other Persons of unsound Minds.'
-- Governor Francis Fauquier, June 1770..."
Under the heading,
"17th Century Williamsburg and the Birth of the Public Hospital", is the following:
"Construction was complete and ready for inspection by September 14, 1773, and the Board of Directors began meeting once a week to hear the cases of patients wanting to be admitted. On October 12, the Public Hospital's first two patients were admitted, Zachariah Mallory and Catherine Harvey."
Any replies will be appreciated.
