Abstract: In this article, we study the logarithmic Mahler measure of the one-parameter family [Q_alpha=y^2+(x^2-alpha x)y+x,] denoted by $m(Q_{a}lpha)$. The zero loci of $Q_{a}lpha$ generically define elliptic curves $E_{a}lpha$ which are $3$-isogenous to the family of Hessian elliptic curves. We are particularly interested in the case $alphain(-1,3)$, which has not been considered in the literature due to certain subtleties. For $alpha$ in this interval, we establish a hypergeometric formula for the (modified) Mahler measure of $Q_{a}lpha$, denoted by $ilden(alpha).$ This formula coincides, up to a constant factor, with the known formula for $m(Q_{a}lpha)$ with $|alpha|$ sufficiently large. In addition, we verify numerically that if $alph{a}^3$ is an integer, then $ilden(alpha)$ is a rational multiple of $L^{\prime }(E_{a}lpha,0)$. A proof of this identity for $alpha=2$, which is corresponding to an elliptic curve of conductor $19$, is given.
