INTRODUCTION 

The  following  pages  are  the  printed  records  and  results  of 
}^^ears  of  painstaking  and  conscientious  work  on  the  part  of  the 
author  and  genealogist,  Mrs.  Clarence  E.  Verrill.  (See  portrait  on 
page  149- ) 

Few  of  the  readers  will  appreciate  the  enormous  amount  of 
work  required  in  compiling  such  information.  It  is  probable  that 
each  entry  of  a  line  of  descent  has  required  at  least  one  personal 
letter  and  often  many  more.  The  answers  to  these  letters  have  re- 
quired checking,  further  correspondence  and  final  compilation  to 
bring  all  into  the  completed  and  correct  tabulation. 

All  this  work  has  been  done  by  Mrs.  Verrill  without  hope  of 
compensation  and  at  great  expense  of  time,  money  and  vital  energy. 
In  fact,  a  great  deal  of  this  work  has  been  done  on  a  sick  bed  in  order 
to  make  the  publication  of  the  book  possible  at  this  time. 

Too  much  credit  cannot  be  given  to  Mrs.  Verrill  by  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Maltby  family  and  readers  of  this  book  for  her  untiring 
efforts  to  bring  to  a  successful  completion  the  records  contained 
herein  and. 

In  behalf  of  the  Maltby  family  the  undersigned  wishes  to  ex- 
press to  Mrs.  Verrill  his  heart-felt  appreciation  of  these  years  of 
labor  which,  though  it  has  been  a  labor  of  love,  has  been  none  the 
less  arduous. 

We  also  wish  to  express  our  appreciation  of  the  generosity  and 
kindness  of  Mr.  R.  L.  Maltbie,  who  undertakes  the  publication  of 
>^   this  volume  at  his  own  expense  and  without  the  hope  of  ever  re- 
ceiving more  than  a  partial  reimbursement  of  the  cost  to  him. 

He  has  made  available  the  results  of  the  long  years  of  Airs. 
^'erril^s  labor. 

Our  best  wishes  and  many  thanks  to  both  of  them.

PREFACE 

It  was  not  the  intention  of  the  compiler  to  write  a  preface  to 
this  book,  but  upon  going  over  the  proof  sheets  those  things  I  have 
done,  and  those  left  undone,  seem  very  patent.  But  "what  is  writ 
is  writ,  would  that  it  were  worthier." 

The  records  here  given  to  the  public  are  the  result  of  many 
years  of  genealogical  research  work  and  many  of  the  records  are 
mere  fragments  which  refused  to  fit  in  gracefully  in  any  place,  but 
have  been  included  with  the  hope  that  they  may  sometime  prove 
helpful  in  tracing  ancestors. 

This  work  has  been  carried  on  far  from  reference  libraries  and 
under  adverse  conditions,  but  I  have  endeavored  to  give  the  refer- 
ence to  the  source  from  which  every  record  was  taken.  There  are 
undoubtedly  mistakes,  but  every  effort  has  been  made  to  keep  these 
down  to  as  few  as  possible,  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  where  errors 
are  discovered  it  will  be  called  to  my  attention. 

I  am  indebted  to  many  people  for  data  furnished  and  wherever 
possible  I  have  tried  to  give  credit  where  it  was  due  for  material 
copied  from  other  publications  or  kindly  contributed  by  individuals 
— to  all  of  these  I  am  heartily  grateful. 

It  is  the  sincere  wish  of  the  compiler  that  the  records  contained 
in  these  pages  may  prove  interesting  to  those  who  descend  from  the 
Maltbys  and  also  helpful  to  any  who  seek  further  information  of 
their  ancestors.

HERALDRY 


MALTEY  ARMS 


During  years  of  genealogical  research  various  references  to 
Maltby  Arms  have  been  found,  copied  and  preserved  until  quite  an 
interesting  little  collection  has  been  made. 

Heraldry  is  a  science  in  itself,  and  requires  an  expert  to  give 
accurate  explanations,  and  this  article  is  written  by  one  at  the  very 
bottom  of  the  Heraldic  ladder,  but  a  word  as  to  the  early  use  of 
Arms  will  help  toward  understanding  some  of  the  material  which 
follows. 

Rolls  of  arms  are  extant  in  England  in  the  reigns  of  Henry  HI. 
[1216-1272]  ;  Edward  I.  [1272-1307],  and  Edward  H.  [1307-1327]. 

The  Roll  of  Caerlaverock  contains  the  names  and  armorial 
bearings  of  the  knights  and  barons  who  attended  Edward  I.  at  the 
siege  of  the  Castle  of  Caerlaverock,  Dumfriesshire,  in  1300,  and 
exhibits  heraldry  already  in  a  developed  form. 

The  use  of  arms  by  private  persons  was  prohibited  by  proclama- 
tion in  the  reign  of  Henry  V.  All  persons  who  had  not  borne  arms 
at  Agincourt  were  prohibited  from  assuming  them  unless  by  heredi- 
tary descent  or  with  the  sanction  of  the  constituted  authorities. 
Periodical  circuits,  called  visitations,  were  held  afterward  by  the 
provincial  heralds  to  take  cognizance  of  the  arms,  pedigrees  and 
marriages  of  such  as  were  entitled  to  the  use  of  armorial  bearings. 
These  visitations  continued  till  about  the  end  of  the  17th  century. 
The  evidence  of  these  records  are  much  sought  to  establish  heredi- 
tary right  to  bear  arms.  It  will  be  noticed  that  many  of  the  arms 
here  described  are  from  various  visitations. 

The  earliest  Maltby  coat-of-arms,  so  far  as  has  yet  been  ascer- 
tained is  that  of  Sire  John  Malebis  in  1097.  The  extract  is  taken 
from  "The  Genealogist,"  New  Series.  1896,  p.  281.  The  Parliamen- 
tary Roll  of  Arms : 

T097.  SIRE  JOHN  MALEBIS-^de  argent  a  iij  testes  de  bis 
de  goul  (Vide  Yorkshire  Parish  Reg.  Vol  I  and  II).  A  rough 
translation  of  the  above  I  make:  "argent,  three  heads  of  hinds 
gules."  The  above  seems  to  have  been  a  near  relative  of  Hugo  de 
Malebisse,  see  Pedigree  No.  I. 

The  next  mention  of  Maltby  arms  seems  to  be  in  1339.  In  the 
Encyclopedia  Britannica,  Vol.  XT,  pp.  686-7  will  be  found  the  fol-

lowing:  "As  the  combinations  out  of  which  the  early  coats  were 
formed  were  limited;  it  occasionally  happened  that  two  persons  of 
the  same  nation  bore  the  same  arms  and  this  gave  rise  to  disputes 
which,  as  matters  connected  with  military  discipline,  came  under  the 
jurisdiction  of  the  earl  marshall  .  .  .  cases  .  .  .  were  decided 
between  Harding  and  St.  Loo  in  1312;  Warburton  and  Gorges  in 
1321,  and  Sytsylt  and  Falsenham  in  1333.  Hugh  Alaltby  and  Har- 
mon Beckwith  had  a  similar  dispute  in  1339."  Another  item  refer- 
ring to  the  same  case  appears  in  The  Genealogist,  in  an  article  "The 
Right  to  Bear  Arms"  by  "X,"  as  follows :  "The  Court  of  Chivalry 
(Curia  Militaris)  sat  in  1339  to  enquire  into  a  mandate  dated  18 
Jan.,  1339,  against  Harmon  Beckwith  by  Hugh  Lord  Maltby,  who 
alleged  that  Beckwith  had  assumed  his  arms.  Beckwith  proved  his 
right  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  court  14  Oct.,  1339."  (See  Pedigree 
No.  I  for  Hugh  Maltby  and  Harmon  Beckwith). 

It  was  not,  however,  chance  that  caused  Harmon  Beckwith  to 
adopt  the  Maltby  arms.  His  great  grandfather  was  Sir  Hercules 
Malebisse  (Latin  form  of  Maltby)  who  changed  his  name  to  Beck- 
with on  his  marriage  in  1226  with  Lady  Dame  Beckwith  Bruce. 
Their  son.  Sir  Hercules  Beckwith,  had  a  son  Nicholas,  and  it  was 
Harmon,  the  son  of  this  Nicholas  who  had  the  dispute  with  Hugh 
Maltby.  If  one  will  consult  Pedigree  No.  I  it  will  be  seen  that 
William  (9)  de  Malebisse,  1339.  died  in  1365,  and  here,  with  his 
son.  Sir  Thomas  (10),  this  line  died  out.  This  does  not  mean  that 
the  family  died  out ;  simply  the  failure  of  male  issue  of  the  oldest 
son.  It  is  very  probable,  indeed  practically  certain,  that  the  above 
Hugh  Maltby  was  nearly  related  to  William  (9),  probably  his  uncle. 
It  is  rather  an  odd  coincidence  that  Elizabeth  (11)  Maltby,  daughter 
and  co-heiress  of  Sir  Thomas  (10)  Maltby  married  for  her  second 
husband,  Adam  Beckwith  of  Clint,  a  great-grandson  of  Harmon 
Beckwith.  who  had  the  dispute  concerning  the  Maltby  arms.  It 
must  be  borne  in  mind  in  the  following  pages  that  the  Beckwiths 
are  by  birth  Maltbys  and  the  Beckwith  blood  is  through  a  maternal 
ancestress. 

Burke's  Gen.  Armory  and  Rietstaps  Ar.  Gen.  give:  Beckwith.  Arms  of: 
Arg.  a  chev.  betw.  3  hinds  heads  erased  gules.  Crest:  An  antelope  ppr.  in 
the  mouth  a  branch  vert.     Motto:  Joie  en  bien."  * 

Burke  also  gives :  Malbech,  Malbesh.  Malbish.  ( Latin  form  of  Maltby) 
Gu.  a  chev.  or.,  between  3  hinds  heads  erased  or.  Compare  these  arms  with 
the  above  Beckwith  arms. 

*  Note  the  similarity  with  the  arms  of  Sire  Jolm  Malebis  in  1097.  It 
is  very  probable  that  he  was  an  older  brother  of  Hug-o  (1),  Pedigree  No.  I. 
and  failing-  male  issue  his  coat  of  arms  was  used  bv  the  descendants  of 
Hugo   (1). 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  11 

Another  item  from  Burke's  Gen.  Arm  is:  Alalbys  :  Ar.  a  chevron  between 
3  hinds  heads  erased  gules. 

Glover's  Visitation  of  Yorkshire,  1612,  edited  by  Joseph  Foster,  gives  : 
Beckwith  :  Arg.  a  chev  between  3  hinds  heads. 

By  consulting  Pedigree  No.  I  it  will  be  seen  that  Margaret 
Maltby  (9)  sister  of  William  de  Malebisse,  married  Thomas  Fairfax. 
This  will  explain  the  following  records : 

FAIRFAX  (p.  39,  Glover's  \'ist.  of  Yorks.,  161 2.  edited  by 
Joseph  Foster)  of  Walton  and  Gilling;  one  quartering  is  given  as 
Arg.  a  chev.  between  3  foxes'  heads  erased  gules,  for  Alalbys. 

FAIRFAX  (p.  96).  The  same,  of  Denton,  Strelton  and  Street- 
horpe. 

FAIRFAX  (p.  24).  In  the  church  of  Bolton  Percy*  you 
find  the  arms  of  Fairfax:  Arg.  a  chev.  sa.  between  3  hinds'  heads, 
erased  gules  (sa.)'''  .Also:  Arg.  a  chev.  between  3  hinds'  heads 
erased  gules  for  Malbys. 

Note.— Probably  this  is  an  error  as  to  the  foxes'  heads  being  quartered, 
as  the  arms  of  Malbys.  Evidently  the  arms  of  Malbys  were  hinds'  heads, 
which  Beckwith  adopted  and  which  the  Fairfaxes  also  used  after  the  marriage 
with  Margaret  Alaltby.  The  arms  of  Fairfax  as  given  by  Burke's  Gen. 
Armory  are:  Arg.  3  bars  genelles  gules,  surmounted  by  a  lion  rampant,  sab. 

Burke's  Gen.  Arm.  gives:  Malbys  as,  Arg.  a  chev.  betw.  3  hinds'  heads, 
erased  gules. 

Burke's  Gen.  Arm.  gives:  Mall)ys  :  Gules  a  chev.  betw.  3  hinds'  heads, 
erased  arg.,  for  Malbech,  Malbcsh,  Malbish. 

Maltby  and  Molzbi,  Malbie,  Malbysse.  Vide  Doomsday  Book.  Burke's 
Gen.  .\rm.  states:  "The  Beckwith  family  of  Yorkshire  is  a  very  ancient  one. 
which  originally  bore  the  name  of  Malbie  or  Malbysse,  derived  from  Nicholas 
Beckwith.  son  of  Hercules  de  Malbie.  by  Beckwith,  his  wife,  one  of  the 
daughters  of  Sir  William  Bruce,  Lord  of  Uglebarby;  Sir  Roger  Beckwith 
of  Aldborough  created  a  baronet,  1681  ;  title  extinct  in  1741." 

Robson's  British  Herald,  pub.  1830,  Vol.  2,  gives:  Malbech,  Malbesh  or 
Malbish  :  gu.  a  chev.  or.  betw.  3  hinds'  heads,  erased  or.  Also  Mawdeby, 
azure,  a  cross  or. 

Burke  gives:  Malbise:  Ar.  a  chev.  betw.  2  closets  gu. 

In  the  windows  of  the  York  Cathedral  in  a  side  aisle  of  the 
north  part  of  the  transept  are  these  arms :  Azure  a  chevron  engrailed 
with  3  hinds'  heads,  erased  or.     Malbyss.     (Vide  p.  532.  "F.bor.") 

Since  writing  the  above  notes  an  item  provin^.^-  the  theorv  of 
the  Beckwitli  arms  being  hereditary  from  those  of  vSir  John  Male- 

*  See  unfler  date  IfiOS. 


12  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

bisse,  has  come  to  light.  The  Genealogist,  1888-89.  ^'ol  \,  has  this 
item:  "There  is  a  dead  in  Betham's  Baronetage  (Vol.  11,  app.  p.  607^ 
proving  the  right  of  Harmon  Beckwith,  Esq.,  to  the  coat  armour 
of  John  Lord  Malebisse"  (1339). 

From  the  above  notes  it  is  quite  clearly  shown  that  the  oldest 
Maltby  coat-of-arms  is  that  blazoned  with  the  hinds'  heads,  and 
the  oldest  branch  of  the  family  is  quite  evidently  the  Yorkshire 
branch  shown  in  Pedigree  Xo.  I. 

The  next  mention  found  of  Alaltby  arms  is  in  1373.  'Tntroduc- 
tion  to  the  Book  of  Arms"  has  the  following :  "All  the  shields  com- 
memorate the  descent  and  alliances  of  the  Pastons  and  their  kins- 
folk the  Barreys  and  ]Mawtebys.    .    .    ." 

Margaret,  daughter  and  heiress  of  John  Alawteby,  Esquire,  the 
wife  of  John  Paston,  about  1440,  made  her  will,  4  February,  1481-2, 
and  thereby  directed  that  many  of  the  shields  in  this  MS.  should 
grace  her  tomb. 

Four  scutcheons  were  to  be  at  the  corners  of  her  gravestone, 
"whereof  the  first  scochen  shall  be  of  my  husbandes  amies  and  myn 
departed  the  ii  qte.  of  Alawtebys  arms  and  Berneys  of  Redham 
departed,  the  iij  qte.  of  Alawtebys  arms  and  Sir  Roger  Beauchamp 
departed.  And  in  myddis  of  seid  stoon  I  will  have  a  scochen  sett 
of  Mawtebys'  arms  alone." 

Further  impalements  are :  Mawteby  impaled  with  gules,  a  fesse 
and  six  martlets  or.,  for  Beauchamp,  Lord  of  Powilse.  Mawteby 
impaled  with  gules,  billety  or  and  a  fess  argent  for  Loveyn  (\"ide. 
"The  Ancestor,"  No.  10,  pp.  87-9.) 

The  arms  of  the  family  of  Mautby  [Norfolk]  are  given  in  sev- 
eral places  in  Bloomfield's  Hist,  of  Norfolk  as :  Azure,  a  cross  or. 
But  in  Vol.  VHI,  p.  407  of  Bloomfield  they  are  stated  to  be :  azure, 
a  cross  formee  or. ;  and  this  is  the  description  given  in  the  A-'isitation 
of  Norfolk.  The  latter  is  probably  the  correct  description.  '(Mde. 
Bloomfield's,  Norfolk,  Vol.  X,  pp.  69-70;  Vol.  VI,  p.  494;  Vol.  XI, 
p.  182 ;  Vol.  VII,  p.  467  ;  Visitation  of  Norfolk.  Edit,  by  Walter  Rye, 
pp.  64-214).  Following  are  given  various  records  pertaining  to  the 
Norfolk  branch  of  the  family:   (See  also  Pedigree  No.  IV.) 

Malby    (Co.  Norfolk)   Azure,  a  cross  formee  or. 

Mautby   (Co.  Norfolk,  1373)   Az.  a  cross  or. 

Malby  (Norfolk)  Az.  a  cross  formee.  coupe,  or.  (Vide  Berry  Encylop. 
Heraldic,  and  also  Burke.) 

The  Norfolk  Maltbys  held  the  Manor  of  Maltby,  Co.  Norfolk,  from  the 
Crown,  prior  to  1166.  Arms:  a  cross  or.  (Vide.  Bloomfield  Hist.  Norf.  Vol. 
X.,  pp.  69-70:  l^loomfield  Hist.  Norf.,  Vol.  VI..  p.  494;  Bloomfield  Hist.  Norf., 
Vol.  XL.  p.  182.) 

Burke  gives  arms  of  Mautebey  and  ^lawedby  as  .\zure.  a  cross  or. 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— AIALTBIE  13 

Bloomlield,  Vol.  VIII.,  states  that  "  the  arms  of  Paston  Alautby,  etc., 
appear  in  the  north  window  of  Gresham  Church.'"  (p.  129)  "In  Oxstraband 
Church  appeared  in  a  window  the  arms  of  Mautby-Berney."'     (p.  146). 

The  "Herald,  and  Gen.,"  Vol.  4,  has  the  following:  "On  a  tomb  in  New- 
ton Chapel,  Bristol  Cathedral,  is  a  large  escutcheon  of  24  quarterings.  No. 
24  being  Azure  a  cross  pattee  throughout  or.   Maultby. 

Friar  Brackley's  Book  of  Arms,  cir.  1440  has:  Mawteby:  Argent,  a 
chief  indented  or.   (Paston)    impaled  with  azure,  a  cross  or.   (Mawteby). 

In  Vol.  XL,  of  Bloomlield  we  find :  "In  the  Church  of  Bacton  appear  on 
the  steeple  window  the  arms  of  Paston  and  Mautby;"  (p.  21.)  and,  "Mautby 
arms  are  in  the  church  at  Reedham;"  (p.  132.)  also,  "In  the  Church  of  St. 
Peter  at  Repps,  are  to  be  seen  the  arms  of  Mautby,  az.  a  cross  or."  (p.  182.) 
In  Vol  VI.  we  find  the  following:  "The  family  house  of  Paston  was  in 
Manor  Oxmead,  Norfolk."     In  the  hall  windows  were : 

ARMS  OF  MAUTBY 

Arms  of  Mautby  and  Berney   (John   Maltby  m.   Margery  Berney.)      [Berney 

quart,  az.  and  gu.  a  cross  engrailed  ermine.] 
Arms  of  Mautby  impaling  Loveine  [gu.  a  fess  betw.  14  billets.] 
Arms  of  Mautby  impaling  Marshall   [gu.  a  bend  lozengy  or.] 
Arms  of   Mautby  impaling   Beauchamp    [gu.   a   fess  betw.   6  martlets   or.] 
Arms  of  Mautby  impaling  Clifton  [Chequer  or.  and  gu.,  a  bend  ermine.]    (p. 

492.) 

In  the  Church  of  St.  Nicholas.  Oxnead,  a  Paston  coat-of-arms  is  to  be 
seen  (1597)  the  6th  quartering  being:  Azure  a  cross  or.  for  Mautby  (p.  494.) 

In  Vol.  VI.  we  find:  "In  the  Church  of  the  Virgin  or  St.  Margaret  at 
Calthorpe.  Norfolk,  in  the  upper  window  of  the  north  side  appeared  with 
inter   .    .    .   the   arms   of   Alautby."    (p.   521.) 

The  arms  which  follow  are  quite  different  from  the  above  and 
proba1)ly  belong  to  a  cadet  branch  of  the  Norfolk  family: 

MAWBEY  (Mawtby)  Co.  Norfolk.  Or.  a  cross  gules  fretty  of  the  field  be- 
tween four  eagles  displayed  azure,  each  charged  on  the  breast  with  a

eagle  displayed  azure  charged  on  the  breast  with  a  bezant. 

MAWBEY    (Kemmington,    Co.    Surrey,    granted   1757).      Or.    a   cross   gules, 

fretty  of  the  field.     Same  as  above. 

Fairbairn's  Book  of  Crests  gives:  "Mawby  and  ^Mawbrey  of  Kemming- 
ton, Surrey,  an  eagle  displayed  azure,  charged  on  the  breast  with  a  bezant." 
Also.  :Ma\vbey.  Bart,  (extinct)  of  Botleys,  Surrey,  same  crest.  Auriga  vir-

probably  to  his  son  Joseph  {22).  For  the  lineage  of  JMaubey  of  Botleys, 
Surrey,  consult  Burke's  English  and  Dormant  Baronetcies.  For  the  union 
of  Paston  with  Alaulbv  or  Mawtby  or  Mauteby  see  Paston"s  General  Visi- 
tation of  Norfolk,  1563"^  1589,  1613." 

The  History  of  Norfolk  gives  this  item  :  "There  were  also  in  this  win- 
dow, Cat  impaling  Mawtby."     (This  was,  I  believe,  in  1462.) 

The  third  Maltby  arms  to  be  considered  are  those  of  the  Maltbys 
of  Cleveland,  York.  (See  Pedigree  No.  II).  The  first  date  found 
by  the  compiler  connected  with  these  arms  is  in  1599  and  is  in  The 
Genealogist,  Vol.  XXL,  p.  120  (Add  M.S.  12,225).  It  reads:  Grant 
of  Arms.  Alaltby  ...  of  Maltby  in  Cleveland,  Co.  York.  Patent 
by  Sir  W.  Segar,  Garter  (NForry  in  1599).  Arms:  x\rgent,  on  a 
bend  Gules,  three  garbs  Or.     Crest :  A  Garb  Or,  banded  sable. 

If  this  item  is  correctly  given  in  The  Genealogist  it  would 
seem  very  evident  that  this  was  not  the  first  grant  to  the  family, 
as  the  original  crest  was  very  evidently  the  garb  (sheaf  of  wheat) 
banded  gules.  By  consulting  Pedigree  No.  II  it  will  be  seen  that 
Christopher  Maltby  (15),  Alderman  of  York,  was  born  in  1574 
and  had  a  daughter  Catherine,  born  in  1599 — the  year  the  above 
arms  were  granted.  The  fact  that  Sir  Nicholas  Alalby  was  using 
the  wheat  sheaves  on  his  arms  (with  cotises  introduced  for  a  differ- 
ence) in  1576,  when  he  was  knighted,  would  tend  to  prove  that  the 
original  Yorkshire  arms  were  much  older  than  1599. 

The  following  are  different  references  to  the  arms  of  this 
branch  of  the  family :

From  Burke's  Gen.  Arm..  1884  Edit. : 

MALBY  (Sir  Nicholas,  Chief  Com.  of  Connaught,  knighted  at  Athlone  by 
Sir  Henry  Sydney,  Lord  Dept.  of  Ireland,  7  Oct.,  1576.)  Argent  on  a  bend 
between  two  cotises  gules  three  garbs  or. 

Note. — This  is  practically  the  arms  as  used  by  Elizabeth  Malby,  dau.  of 
Arthur  Malby,  who  m.  William  Beswick  in  1616.  The  only  difference  being 
the  cotises  were  engrailed  on  her  arms,  which  is  simply  a  zigzag  line  instead 
of  a  straight  one,  to  put  it  as  simply  as  possible  for  any  who  perchance  are 
not  familiar  with  heraldic  terms. 

The  following  is  a  very  similar  arms:  :MAWTBY  (Granted  May,  1612)  : 
Ermine  on  a  bend  between  two  cotises  engrailed  gules,  three  garbs  or. 

In  the  Visitation  of  Lincolnshire    (The   Genealogist,   Vol.   IV.,    1880,   oi

Maltby." 

The  Harleian  Society  Publications,  1903,  p.  609,  had  the  pedigree  of 
Morgain  of  Gainsborough  :  "Morice  Morgan  m.  Elizabeth,  dau.  of  William 
I'orman  of  Gainsborough,  yeoman,  sister  of  Sir  William  Forman,  the  Lord 
Mayor  of  London,  1538.     Their  son,  Richard   Morgan,  of  Gainsborough,  m. 

Margaret  dau.  of Maltby.    They  had  a  son,  William  Morgan."     In  this 

connection  we  give  an  item  from  an  old  newspaper:  "Sept.  1,  1818,  Lady 
Morgan,  an  authoress,  was  visiting  her  relation,  Sir  Maltby  and  Lady  Crofton 
at  their  country  home  at   Sligo." 

Thomas  Robson's  "British  Herald,  Vol.  II.,  gives :  Alalby  or  :\Ialtby :

16  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

"Quod  serveus  metes."  Mr.  Brough  Maltby  has  an  old  seal  which 
has  been  in  his  family  for  generations;  the  arms  are  as  above  and 
the  motto  is:  "Praesto  et  Persisto." 

Capt.  Samuel  (2)  IMaltby  had  a  coat-of-arms.  as  is  shown  by 
the  inventory  of  his  estate  which  mentions  "A  coat-of-arms,  10 
shillings;  it  also  mentions  "Seal,  20  shillings."  He  died  in  1751. 
The  Montreal  Maltbys,  descended  from  the  Maltbys  of  Leeds,  York, 
also  owned  a  coat-of-arms.  It  was  on  a  seal  ring  belonging  to  their 
grandfather,  but  was  lost  and  none  of  the  family  recall  the  device. 

The  coat-of-arms  which  has  descended  in  Col.  R.  L.  Maltby's 
family  (descended  from  the  Maltbys  of  Scarborough)  is  very  in- 
teresting. Roughly  speaking  the  arms  are  quarterly  or.  and  argent. 
The  crest  is  a  Wyren,  as  nearly  as  can  be  ascertained  and  the  motto 
is  "Fear  God  in  Life."  There  is  no  questioning  the  fact  that  the 
family  believed  these  arms  to  be  Maltby  coat  armour,  but  as  a  matter 
of  fact  they  are  the  arms  of  the  Claverings.  These  arms  were  sent 
to  an  English  correspondent,  who  knowing  nothing  of  the  people, 
replied :  "This  is  not  a  Maltby  arms ;  evidently  someone  fancies  he 
descends  from  the  Maultby  or  Maltby  who  married  a  Clavering. 
If  this  surmise  is  correct  and  he  can  prove  his  descent  from  Miss 
Clavering  you  have  struck  a  good  find.  The  Clavering  arms  being 
similar ;  i.e.,  quart,  or.  and  gules,  over  all  a  bend  sab.  (or  a  bendlet) ." 

As  a  matter  of  fact  the  JMaltbys  owning  these  arms  never  heard 
of  any  Clavering  marriage  and  it  would  seem  very  probable  that 
John  Maltby,  born  at  Scarborough  in  171 2,  descended  from  Sir  John 
Mawtby,  Knt.,  who  mar.  Elizabeth  (or  Isabel?)  dau.  of  Robert 
Clavering,  son  of  Roger,  Lord  of  Clavering,  9  Edward  II.  (1326). 
See  Pedigree  No.  IV-A.     Paston-Maltby. 

The  following  record  from  the  Visitations  of  Norfolk,  1 563-1613, 
give:  "Sir  John  Mautby  Arms:  Quart.,  or  and  gules  a  bendlet 
sable."  It  is  quite  evident  that  these  arms  came  into  use  from  the 
Clavering  marriage  just  mentioned.  The  compiler  can  not  state 
positively,  indeed  feels  very  doubtful,  that  the  Maltby  arms  of  tht 
Scarborough  branch  should  read  or.  and  arg.  A  rough  sketch  of  the 
arms  was  furnished  by  a  descendant  and  the  dots  in  the  first  and 
fourth  quarters  of  the  shield  indicated  gold.  As  the  second  and 
third  quarters  were  left  plain  it  was  assumed  they  were  argent. 
However,  it  seems  unusual  to  use  two  metals  in  this  manner  and  it 
would  seem  verv  probable  that  there  was  originally  a  color  blazoned 
on  the  shield.

amongst  others  who  accompanied  William  the  Conqueror  to  Eng-

*  Since  writina'  these  notes  on  tlie  Maltby  arms  there  came  to  my 
attention  another  blazon  quite  new  to  me,  and  of  very  early  date.  In 
fact,  it  seems  doubtful  if  it  be  a  Maltby  seal.  Under  date  1219-4.  Henry 
HI  we  find  Robert  Mauteby  giving:  to  St.  Mary  of  Sibton  Triory  in  Suffolk, 
all  his  lent  in  his  salt  works.  A -lion  rampant  on  the  Seal.  Unfortunately 
the  compiler  is  not  sufficiently  versed  in  heraldry  to  solve  this  problem. 
A  gentleman  writing  of  Bishop  Edward  Maltby's  coat-of-arms  says:  "The 
Lion  rampant  represents  some  marriage  with  a  Beaumont."  By  consulting 
tlie  English  Notes  we  find  the  Sutton  and  Maltby  families  closely  con- 
nected and  also  note  tlie  name  Beaumont  Sutton.  It  mav  be  a  connecting

MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  19 

Thierry,  translated  by  \\'illiam  Hazlett,  1891  ;  pub.  by  Geo.  Bell 
and  Co.) 

We  also  learn  that  the  Norfolk  Alautbys  held  the  Manor  of 
Maltby,  Co.  Norfolk,  from  the  crown  prior  to  1166.    Arms:  a  cross. 

It  seems  to  the  compiler  that  the  progenitor  of  the  Maltby  family 
was  Hugo  de  Malbisse  (Pedigree  No.  I).  The  Norfolk  branch, 
tracing  to  Simon  de  Mauteby  it  would  seem  were  closely  related  to 
Sir  Simon  Malebisse,  Lord  of  Crowton  in  Craven,  who  married  a 
daughter  of  Lord  Methley  (See  Pedigree  No.  I)  ;  and  the  Maltbys 
of  Maltby  and  Aluston,  Cleveland,  York,  were  probably  nearly  re- 
lated to  Sir  William  de  Maltby,  who  had  lands  in  Cleveland,  built  the 
chapel  at  Ayton,  where  he  was  Lord  of  the  Manor  before   1200. 

In  regard  to  the  coat-of-arms  of  the  Cleveland,  Yorks.,  Maltbys, 
Mr.  Rees-Webbe,  late  captain  in  the  English  army,  and  then  a  clergy- 
man in  the  Church  of  England,  told  the  compiler  that  the  garbs  in 
the  arms  denoted  they  held  large  church  lands.  Mr.  Rees-Webbe 
had  a  fine  collection  of  seals  and  was  well  posted  in  heraldy.  But 
this  statement  has  been  contradicted  by  another  gentleman  who  main- 
tains the  wheat  sheaves  are  used  by  so  many  different  families  they 
could  hardly  all  have  been  holders  of  considerable  church  lands. 
However,  it  is  a  fact  that  the  Maltbys  did  give  largely  to  the  church 
land  in  their  possession  and  were  founders  of  various  abbeys ;  as 
Hugo  (2)  who  founded  the  Priory  of  Spinney  ;  Sir  William  (3)  who 
built  the  Chapel  at  Ayton;  Richard  (3)  who  founded  the  Monastery 
of  Neubo  Abbey,  Lincoln,  in  1198;  John  (4)  who  confirmed  grants 
of  Morton  Grange  to  the  Abbot  Neubo;  William  (5)  who  confirmed 
grants  to  Byland  Abbey  in  1247;  William  (6)  gave  lands  to  the 
Priory  of  Briddlington,  1267,  and  various  other  such  records  which 
will  be  found  in  the  English  notes. 

The  conclusion  reached  by  those  most  familiar  with  the  records 
of  the  Maltby  family  is,  that  they  all  descend  from  the  original  Hugo 
de  Malebisse,  who  held  lands  at  the  time  of  the  Conquest.  This 
seems  a  broad  statement,  but  if  we  refer  to  the  emigrant  ancestor 
of  the  American  branch,  we  find  we  can  state  the  same ;  for  although 
three  brothers  went  to  New  England  the  line  of  John  in  the  male 
issue  failed  in  the  third  generation ;  Robert  is  not  known  to  have 
had  any  descendants,  consequently  this  branch  of  the  family  all 
descend  from  William  ( i )  and  in  like  manner  those  bearing  the 
name  Maltby,  must  be  descendants  of  the  three  youngest  sons, 
namely:  Daniel  (2),  Samuel  (2)  and  Jonathon  (2).  The  following 
extract  from  an  old  letter  may  be  of  interest  in  this  connection  : 

The  letter  is  dated  "Taunton,  Mass.,  June  14,  1895,"  S"<^  was 
from  Mrs.  Lovering  to  Mrs.  George  Ellsworth  Maltby. 


20  MALTBY— FA.AIILY  HISTORY— AIALTBIE 

Mrs.  Levering  writes  :  "The  home  of  the  English  ^Nlaltbys  is  many,  yet 
notwithstanding  I  have  spent  many  months  in  England,  the  only  Maltby  I 
have  ever  met  lived  in  Brussels.  We  were  attending  an  international  exhibi- 
tion of  arts  and  sciences  in  Brussels.  Walking  slowly  past  a  bench  or  plat- 
form devoted  to  hand  decorated  china,  my  attention  was  attracted  to  some 
pieces  more  original  in  design  than  others.  Examining  them  closely  I  was 
surprised  to  see  the  paintings  signed  'Gertrude  Maltby'  and  'Eva  Maltby.'  To 
be  as  brief  as  possible  ...  I  met  Gertrude,  who  was  organizing  a  choir 
of  children,  who  were  to  take  part  in  the  festivities  that  afternoon  to  do 
honor  to  King  Leopold's  guest,  Rudolf  of  Austria,  who  had  come  a-courting 
the  Princess  Stephanie. 

"Gertrude  was  a  matronly  English  maiden  of  about  thirty-five.  She  and 
her  sister  Eva  were  the  daughters  of  the  English  consul  at  Brussels,  who  had 
been  stationed  there  forty  years.  She  said,  'I  wish  my  father  could  meet 
you,  he  is  much  interested  in  the  family  genealogy  and  is  always  mousing 
around  old  libraries  and  record  cabinets  to  glean  something  new.  Durham 
was  once  a  famous  headquarters  for  our  race,'  etc.  When  I  hinted  that  my 
interest  was  in  the  name,  even  though  we  might  not  have  had  a  common 
origin,  she  answered,  'O,  do  not  say  that,  my  father  says  we  are  all  de- 
scended from  Hugo  de  ]\Ialtby,  who  was  in  the  train  of  William  the  Con- 
queror.' " 

It  was  in  1880  that  Rudolf  of  Austria  made  this  trip  to  Brussels 
which  terminated  so  disastrously  for  the  Princess.  As  Mr.  Maltby 
had  been  for  forty  years  consul  at  Brussels,  this  would  place  his 
appointment  as  consul  to  Brussels  in  the  year  1840;  so  he  was  prob- 
ably born  about  1810  or  181 5.  Could  his  descendants  be  discov- 
ered it  is  extremely  likely  that  many  of  the  records  so  earnestly 
desired  by  present  day  Maltbys  would  be  found.

Note. — "From  these  I  gather  that  when  Edward  Mahby  became  a  bishop 
he  had  to  register  his  arms  at  the  Heralds'  CoHege  and  the  Hon  represents 
some  marriage  with  a  Beaumont  and  the  cross  to  note  the  Bishop,  or  the  cross 
may  have  reference  to  the  Arms  of  Malby  of  Norfolk,  and  evidently  he  had 
not  impaled  the  correct  arms  of  Green,  implying  that  he  married  a  Miss 
Green." — E.  C.  Harte. 

Note  by  D.  M.  V. — According  to  the  biography  of  the  Bishop  (Vide. 
Diet.  Nat.  Biog.)  his  wife  was  a  Miss  Harvey.  His  mother  was  Mary  Fear- 
man  ;  his  grandmother,  Elizabeth  Taylor,  and  his  great-grandmother  Jane 
Brough.  So  if  the  Beaumont  came  from  a  Maltby  marriage  it  was  before 
1640.  Of  course,  it  is  likely  that  it  was  on  the  maternal  side.  But  in  this 
connection  it  is  well  to  note  that  John  Maltby  of  E.  Retford  makes  Beau- 
mont Sutton,  gent.,  overseer  of  his  estate  in  1647-8.  This  may  prove  a  con- 
necting link  with  the  Bishop's  family  and  that  of  the  New  England  Maltbys, 
descending  from  the  above  John   Maltby  of  E.  Retford. 

MISCELLANEOUS  ENGLISH  MALTBY  RECORDS 

These  notes  of  the  English  Maltbys  have  been  gathered  from 
time  to  time  and  are  simply  stray  items,  mostly  unclassified.  How- 
ever, where  the  compiler  has  been  able  to  place  an  individual,  a  note 
at  the  end  of  the  record  has  been  added  in  order  that  those  who  are 
interested  may  have  some  help  in  placing  the  members  of  the  vari- 
ous branches  of  the  family. 

An  efifort  has  been  made  to  keep  the  notes  in  chronological 
order,  but  in  spite  of  numerous  revisions  of  manuscript  this  has  not 
always  been  possible,  and  in  some  cases,  to  make  the  family  connec- 
tions more  clear,  the  notes  have  purposely  been  misplaced  as  to 
dates. 

The  compiler  wishes  particularly  to  acknowledge  the  help  given 
b\-  Edward  C.  Harte,  Esq.,  of  Wells,  Somerset,  who  furnished  a  large 
number  of  the  English  notes  and  was  of  much  assistance  with  the

compiled  by  Miss  Ella  K.  Barnard  of  Baltimore,  I  am  indebted  for 
the  births,  marriages  and  deaths  transcribed  from  the  Orston  Regis-

so  forth,  were  furnished  by  Gerald  Fothergill,  Esqre,  of  London, 
whose  efficient  genealogical  services  have  made  possible  the  publish- 
ing of  these  records  and  also  has  done  so  much  toward  proving  the 
ancestry  of  the  American  Maltbys  of  New  England.

XoTE. — Robert  Mautby  m.  Ellen,  dau.  of  William  Marshall,  the  younger 

(Vide  Vist.  Norfolk).  See  Pedigree  VIII.    This  is  very  evidently  one  and  the 

same  person.     Perhaps  John   le   Mareschel   was   a   brother-in-law   of   Robert 

de  Malteby.     Notice  that  in  one  record  the  name  is   spelled   Mautby  and  in 

the  other   Malteby.     This   is  the   first   record   I   find   connecting  the   'Maltbys 

in  any  way  with  Ireland.     See  also  Pedigree  IV-A. 

1284.  Bloomfield,  Vo\.  VI.  The  Afanor  of  West  Becham  (or

cept advouson  and  Glebe  lands)  to  Walter  de  Malteby  or 
Mawtby,  Lord  of  Malteby,  and  his  heirs.  In  1284  Robert  de 
Mawtby  had  view  of  frank  pledge  and  assize  of  bread  and  beer. 
Before  this  temp.  Henry  III.  [1216]  Walter  de  Mawtby  was 
sued  for  imposing  a  new  toll  in  Becham  fair.  See  Pedigree  IV. 
Evidently  connected  with  this  family. 

1289.  Robert  de  Thornotelev  imprisoned  at  York  for  the  death 
of  Maude  de  Malteby  (Cal.  Close  Rolls).  See  Pedigree  I. 
William   (5),  Matilda  and  Maud,  probablv  the  same  person. 

1291.  She  is  found,  in  129T,  to  have  died  of  quinsev  (p.  163.  Cal.

Quer}' :   Is  it   from  him  the   London   Maltbys   descend  ? 

1296.  William  de  JMalteby,  keeper  of  the  park  about  the  sea  in 
Norfolk  (p.  74).  Probably  nearly  related  to  Robert  de  Malteby 
who  had  the  custody  of  the  maritime  parts  of  the  city  of  Nor- 
wich in  1295.  Evidently  these  Norwich  Maltbys  are  a  branch 
from  Pedigree  IV.    (Cal.   Close  Rolls). 

1297.  [25-27  Edward  I.]  John  fil  Adam  Parva  Neglburgham  v.

1299.  Sir  Robert  de  Malteby  settled  a  moiety  of  the  Manor  on 
Sibill,  his  daughter,  till  he  portioned  her,  and  in  13 16,  John  Fitz 
Simons  and  Sibill  released  the  right  to  Sir  John  de  Malteby, 
their  brother,  who  was  then  lord  of  the  Manor.  It  remained  in 
this  family  till  Margaret,  dau.  and  heir  of  John  Mawtby,  Esq., 
brought  it  by  marriage  to  John  Paston,  Esq.  It  was  later  sold 
by  Paston  heirs  to  Lord  Yarmouth  to  Lorn  Anson  (p.  471,  \"ol. 
Vi.  (?)  Bloomfield).  See  Pedigree  IV.  Robert  (6)  and  Pedi-

Close  Rolls).  This  is  evidently  a  descendant  of  Richard  (3),

Acaster,  near  York.     See  Richard   (7)   Pedigree  T.

Important  note  for  the  American  ^laltbys.  As  East  Retford  is,  we  be- 
lieve, the  birthplace  of  our  emigrant  ancestor,  William  Maltby,  Esq.,  this 
item  showing  Maltbys  seated  at  Retford  as  early  as  1328,  should  be  of  par- 
ticular interest  to  us.  We  think  of  East  Retford  as  in  Nottinghamshire, 
and  true  it  is,  but  Nottingham  was  anciently  in  the  diocese  of  York.  The 
information  was  kindly  given  by  Harry  Speight,  Esq.,  of  Yorkshire,  the 
well  known  author  and  genealogist.

XoTE. — Before  beginning  the  records  of  the  next  century  it  may  be  well 
to  note  that  in  the  items  above,  nearly  every  person  mentioned  can  be  traced, 
or  placed,  to  the  Yorkshire  or  Norfolk  Maltbys  found  in  Pedigrees  I.,  II.  and 
IV.  From  tiie  commencement  of  the  iSth  century,  1400  to  1499,  it  is  more  diffi- 
cult to  identify  the  persons  contained  in  the  records  ;  this,  of  course,  ow'ng 
to  the  fact  that  the  younger  sons  emigrated  to  new  counties,  and  also  to 
the  greatly  increased  number  of  descendants.  It  shows  very  clearly,  how- 
ever, that  every  generation  further  back  we  are  able  to  trace  our  ancestry, 
just  so  much  easier  becomes  the  task,  as  there  were  comparatively  few  of 
the  name  living  in  the  first  two  or  three  hundred  years  after  the  Conquest. 
i-iQi.  Thomas  Malby,  Mayor  of  Limerick,  1401  ( \'ide :  Ferrar's 
Hist,  of  Limerick). 

Note — ^This  is  the  second  record  of  a  Maltby  in  Ireland  in  my  piissession.* 
1401.  July,  Confirmat.  Sellers  Patent  to  William  Alaltby  and 
Margaret,  his  wife,  and  others  to  found  a  Chantry  for  4  Chap- 
lains in  the  Church  of  St.  Martin  Sevestre  (p.  371,  Cal.  Patent 
Rolls). 
1401-1402.     Robert   de    Malteby,    Citizen    of   London    (pp.    81-496. 

Cal.  Patent  Rolls). 
*I402.     Tuey    (  ?)    Robert  ^lalteby.   Citizen  of  London,   suing  for 
TO  marks,  John  Sampson.  Jr.,  of  Plymouth  (Cal.  Patent  Rolls). 
Note. — These  records  are  about  the  earliest  of  any  London  Maltbys  and 
they  probably  were  of  Yorkshire  stock. 

1405.  Oct.  26,  Maltby,  Matilda  de,  .\ldwerk,  York,  fst.  St.  Thomas 
de  "Herfordensis  Epi,"  1405  (  \'ol.  3,  238  folio.  Yorkshire  Wills). 

1406.  Robert  Malteby  (of  London)  suinqf  Nicholas  Waryn  of  Co. 
Essex  (p.  135,  Cal.  Patent  Rolls).  Evidently  the  same  as  in 
item  1402. 

*  1401.  This  item  may  be  important  and  prove  the  connection  between 
the  London  Maltbys  and  the  Malebisse  family  of  Yorkshire.  Pedigree  I. 
William  (9)  de  Malebisse,  Miles,  1339;  died  about  1365;  married  a  daughter 
of  John  Sampson.  Miles,  and  here  we  find  in  1402,  Robert  :Malteby,  Citizen 
of  London,  suing-  .John  Sampson,  junior,  of  Plymouth  for  10  marks.  It 
would  seem  that  Robert  was  one  of  the  younger  children  of  William  and 
wife — Sampson   Malebisse — and    that   John   Sampson.   Jr.,   was   his   cousin.

brother  Thomas.

1443.  (Bloomfield's  Norfolk,  \'ol.  I.,  p.  243).  Roger,  son  of  Wil-

[on  border  of  Suffolk]  m.  Petronell^.one  of  the  heiresses  of 
Roger  de  Somery  from  whom  she  inherited  this  Manor.  She 
died  before  1443.  This  Petronell  was  a  daughter  of  Sir  Robert 
de  Maltaby,  Kt.,  and  Olive,  his  wife.  How  Petronell  became 
Somery's  heiress  is  not  known. 
Note. — In  Pedigree  IV.,  it  will  be  seen  that  Sir  Walter   (S)    Mauteby  m. 

Petronella   and    his    son,    Sir    Robert    (6),    m.    Olive    .      It    is 

probable  that  Petronella  was  a   Somery,  hence  the  inheritance  to  lier 

granddaughter,  Petronell.  Also  it  is  worthy  of  note  that  Bloomfield  spells 
the  name  Maltaby  in  Vol.  I.,  p.  243,  proving  to  skeptics  that  it  is  the  same 
name  as   Mauteby.

efifigy  of  his  wife,  Alice  or  Elizabeth  de  Hickling,  with  arms  sa.  a 
cross  argent.  At  each  end  of  the  church  lies  a  curious  antique 
monument  of  grey  marble,  a  coffin  on  pavement ;  on  the  coffin 
is  the  effigy  of  a  Knight  Templar*  cross  legged  in  armour,  in 
memory,  it  is  said,  of  a  Knight  of  the  de  Alauteby  family  living- 
according  to  the  style  of  the  monument  circ.  1250. 

The  south  aisle,  where  many  Mautbys  were  buried  was  re-

in  ruins   (in  1810).     In  the  church  was  the  shield  of  St.  Peter 

*  Query:  Does  'armiseir"  refer  to  Jolm  MaUby  being-  of  an  armor- 
genous  family  or  has  it  to  do  with  one  who  made  armor?  We  find  the 
same  term  used  in  the  Marbury  Pedigree  (VIT)  wliere  it  mentions:  Anne 
Marbury,  mar.  (2)  .Armig-er  Warde.  Query:  Is  this  VS^^ard  familv  connected 
with  those  mentioned   in  Pedigree  notes.     Pedigree  V. 

*  It  is  probable  that  the  coat-of-arms  of  the  Norfolk  familv  are  derived 
from  this  early  Knight  Templar.  The  silver  cross  on  the  blue  field  would 
be  a   fitting  emblem   of   his   crusades.

1530.  Richard  ^Maltby  held,  A.  D.  1530,  one  ox-gang  of  land  in 
Orston  of  Sir  Richard  Bozon.  Kt.  (Indes  185,  Inquisitions 
Post  Mortem,  Nottinghamshire,  edit.  W.  P.  AV.  Phillimore). 
This  should  be  of  interest  to  the  Orston  Maltbys. 

The  following  from  Rutland  W' ills,  found  in  the  Boston  Library : 
1527-32.     Mawbie,  Robert,  Maseby   (Book  D..  p.  205). 
1540-42.     Malbie.  John,  Crick.    (Book  G.,  p.   118,  P.  35). 

*  The  name  Roger  is  uncommon  in  the  Maltby  Family  up  to  this  date. 
Perhaps  this  Roser  is  the  Roger,  Vicar  of  St.  Nicholas.  See  under  date 
1563.  Also  in  1592,  at  Springthorpe,  Roger  Maltbv  had  a  son  .John,  bapt.  26 
Nov.,    1592. 

t  The  writer  has  wondered  if  this  John  is  John  IMaltby  of  Kexby  Hall, 
Will  1557.  Presumed  to  be  the  ancestor  of  the  American  Maltbvs  of  New 
England,    1667-70. 

t  Is  this  Sir  Nicholas  Malby  of  the  Irish  notes?  The  records  say: 
"Sir  Nicholas  Malby's  father  died  when  he  was  four  years  old — died  about 
1534."  This  is  near  enough  so  that  it  would  be  possible  for  this  Nicholas 
to  be  one  and   the  saine  as  Sir  Nicholas. 

§  Anthony  Maltby.  This  is  a  name  found  amongst  the  Orston  Maltbys 
and  also  Anthony  Marbury  is  a  very  common  name  in  the  Marbury  family. 
There  seems  to  be  a  close  connection  here  between  the  Maltbvs  and  Mar- 
burys.      See   further   under   Maltbv   Heraldrv.

returning  home  reported  that  their  silver  chalices  were  to  be 
given  to  the  King  in  exchange  for  tin  ones,  and  that  he  and 
other  priests  had  determined  to  take  down  the  said  Chancellor 
and  trusted  in  the  support  of  their  neighbors.  The  Sunday 
after  the  Insurrection,  Sir  Simon  prayed  for  the  Pope  and 
College  of  Cardinals.  (Vide  p.  401,  Vol.  XL,  Letters  and  Papers,

liam Maltby  and  Isabell  Maltby,  my  sister.  (Proved  in  Arch

Note. — Evidently  Johan  and  William  Alaltby  were  children  of  Chris- 
topher and  Johan  of  Hemswell.     See  Will   1541. 

1543.  Mawbye  "is  a  wise  fellow";  i.  e..  Thomes  Maltby  or 
Mawbye,  who  has  a  provision  to  contract  for  victualling  the 
army  (!).  The  exclamation  is  added  by  a  contemporary  Kng- 
lishman  who  furnished  the  record ;  before  the  present  war, 
however.  (Vol.  18,  II.,  p.  130;  Vol.  18,  I.,  p.  728,  same  refer-

Yorks. ;  lands  belonging  lately  to  Roche  Monastery  (Vol.  19.

family  in  Pedigree  II. 

1544.  Maltbie  has  a  contract  to  purvey  cheese  (to  the  troops) 
(Vol.  19,  P.  2,  p.  88,  above  reference).  This  is  evidently  Thomas 
Maltby,  alias  Mawlbie,  alias  Maulbie. 

Note. — This  is  evidently  the  first  time  in  recording  the  name  of  Maltby 
in  its  manifold  forms,  that  we  find  MaJthic,  which  has  come  to  be  so  much 
used  since.

Note. — This  is  evidently  the  "brother  John"  mentioned  in  the  will  of 
Peter  Maltby  in  1625. 

1636.  N.  B. — The  Orston  records  which  fohow  are  in  bad  shape 
owing  to  the  register  being  eaten  away,  torn  and  badly  damaged. 
It  will  be  noted  that  after  1639  the  Maltby  records  cease  until 
1662.  As  it  was  in  1641  that  William  Maltby,  gent.,  who  married 
Jane  B rough,  was  born,  it  is  very  probable  that  his  birth  follows 
that  of  Mary  ]\Ialtby  in  1639,  and  that  he  was  a  son  of  John  and 
Mary  Maltby.

Note. — The  descendants  of  William  Maltby  of  Orston,  b.  1641.  should 
study  these  records  well.  Let  us  look  at  the  names  of  the  children  of  John 
and  Mary  Maltby,  viz. : 

1633.  Elizabeth. 

1634.  Anne. 
1636.     Hugh. 

1639.  Mary;  and  there  was  evidently  Thomas,  as  in  1662  we  find: 
"Thomas,  son  of  John  Maltby,  buried  27  Oct.,  1662." 

Suppose,  for  example,  William,  b.  1641,  was  a  son  of  the  above  John 
and  Mary  Maltby.  He  m.  Jane,  dau.  of  George  Brough.  Now  let  us  glance 
over  the  names  of  his  children,  as  follows  : 

William,  named   for  himself. 

Mary,  named  for  his  mother. 

George,  named  for  his  wife's   father. 

Anne,  named  for  his  sister  and  perhaps  his  grandmother  as  well. 

Thomas.  He  evidently  had  a  brother  Thomas,  and  it  may  have  been  his 
grandfather's   name. 

John,  named  for  his  father. 

Charles.  This  is  not  a  Maltby  name;  perhaps  it  was  a  Brough  name, 
or  on  the  maternal  side  of  his  family. 

Elizabeth.     He  had  a  sister  Elizabeth. 

Surely,  if  there  is  anything  in  the  names  of  children  to  indicate  a 
family's  descent,  here  is  strong  evidence.  And  there  certainly  is  a  finger  post 
pointing  the  way,  to  be  read  plainly  by  any  genealogist  in  the  way  children 
were  named  in  the  early  days.

my  youngest  son,  latelv  born.  Tho.  Biggs,  Tho.  Maultbv,  P.  C. 
y'.,  Apl,  1648.    Filed  Will. 

This  Will  a])pears  a^ain  under  the  American  section  of  the 
book,  but  it  will  bear  considerable  study  here.  From  the  Retford 
Baptisms  we  learn  that  John  Maultbie  had  a  son  Richard,  bapt.  15 
Aug.,  1642,  and  from  the  Retford  Burials  that  Richard  died  7  Aug., 
1644.     John  Maltby,  the  father,  died  4  Jan..  1647-8. 

Mrs.  Anne  Mason,  godmother  of  his  daughter  Elizabeth,  was 
probably  a  connection  by  marriage,  as  his  niece  Margaret  married 
William  Mason,  gent.,  of  E.  Retford.  His  nephew  John  was  a  son 
of  his  brother  Robert  of  Bautry. 

Tt  will  be  noticed  that  in  his  will  John  Maltby  leaves  "Eldest 
son,  John  Maltby,  houses  in  Briggate,  E.  Retford,  etc."  And  further: 
"Wife  Mary  to  hold  mv  houses  during  the  nonage  of  my  sons  Jon 
and  William,"  and  still  further  in  the  codicil :  "House  in  Briggate 
to  be  sold  and  £100  to  son  John  at  21  and  the  residue  for  mv  voung- 
est  son,  lately  born."  This  youngest  son  was  Robert.  The  Retford 
Ba]^tisms  give:  "28  Dec,  1647,  Robt.  son  of  John  Maultby."

Now  if  we  turn  to  the  year  1662  we  find  \\  illiam  Carr  and 
Dorothy,  his  wife ;  John  Maltby ;  George  Hohnes  and  Mary,  his 
wife ;  Robert  ]\Ialtby ;  Robert  White  and  Johne,  his  wife.  selHng  tw^o

Wilham  Carr  and  wife  Dorothy  I  fail  to  place.  John  Maltby 
I  take  to  be  John,  son  of  John,  who  had  come  of  age  (hence  he 
would  have  been  born  in  1641  )  and  was  selling  the  houses  in  Brig- 
gate  to  secure  his  iioo  and  it  was  probably  this  money  received  thai 
started  him  in  the  New  World,  for  it  will  be  remembered  that  only 
two  years  later.  1664.  April,  we  find  John  ]\Ialtby's  signature  in  Xew 
England. 

George  Holmes  and  Mary,  his  wife.  This  I  presume  to  be 
Mary  ^laltby,  wid.  of  John  Maltby.  who  had  remarried.  This  would 
explain  why  no  will  of  a  Mary  ]\[altby  could  be  found  by  Mr. 
Fothergill. 

Robert  W'hite  and  Johne.  his  wife.  In  the  will  of  William,  son 
of  Robert  ]\faltby  of  Bawtry.  he  mentions  :  "his  cousin.  Jane  Turn- 
ell."  always  presumed  to  be  Jane,  dan.  of  John  ]\Ialtby.  Possibly 
she  m.  first  Robert  \\'hite.  Much  of  this  is  purely  conjecture,  but 
it  is  plausible  and  worth  keeping  in  mind.

Note;. — The  Suttons  and  Maltbys  seem  to  have  been  closely  connected. 
The  name  Hamond  Maltby  evidently  came  from  the  Suttons.  The  Will  of 
John  Maltby,  of  E.  Retford,  1647,  mentions  for  overseer,  "Beaumont  Sut- 
ton, Gent."  The  Will  of  Johan  Maltbye,  1545,  mentions  Isabell  Sutton. 
(It  has  been  thought  that  the  name  Isabell  in  the  Maltby  family  was  derived 
from  the  Suttons.)  The  Will  of  Robert  Maltby  of  Wilgheton,  1635,  men- 
tions son  Hammond.  It  may  also  be  that  the  name  Nicholas  comes  from 
the  Sutton  family.

1662.  Final  agreement  between  Peter  Ijooth,  John  Langfitt,  pur- 
chaseors,  and  Sir  George  Savile,  hart.,  and  Dorothy,  his  wife; 
Robert  Farmery  and  Mary,  his  wife ;  Cecilia  Cherbury,  widdow ; 
William  Mason,  gent.,  and  John  Maultby,  vendors  of  a  messuage, 
2  cottages,  2  gardens,  2  orchards,  etc.,  etc.,  in  East  Retford,  Co. 
Notts.    Feet  of  Fines,  14-15,  Car.  II.,  1662. 

Note. — The  above  are  evidently  descendants  of  Richard  JNlaltby,  Will 
proved  1638.  Dorothy,  w.  of  Sir  George  Savile  is  evidently  a  dau.  of  Eliza- 
beth Maltby  Hallifax  or  of  her  brother,  William  Maltby.  Sarah  Maltby  m. 
William  Parke  and  had  a  dau.  Sicely,  who  is  evidently  the  wid.,  Cecilia 
Cherbury.  Margaret  Maltby  m.  William  Mason,  gent.,  and  Mary  Maltby  m. 
Robert  Farmary.  The  John  Maltby  is  evidently  John,  the  son  of  Richard's 
brother  John,  or  in  other  words,  the  John  we  believe  emigrated  to  New 
England.     His  father  having  died,  he  evidently  was  co-heir  with  his  cousins. 

The  following  agreement  has  previously  been  mentioned  and 
it  is  believed  to  be  the  sale  which  furnished  the  funds  for  John 
Maltby  to  start  life  in  the  New  \\^orld. 

1662.  Final  agreement  between  John  Darell.  gent. ;  John  Ward  and 
Elizabeth,  his  wife;  Richard  Otter,  Anne,  his  wife,  purchaseors, 
William  Carr  and  Dorothy,  his  wife;  John  Maltby,  George 
Holmes,  Mary,  his  wife,  Robert  Mahby,  Robert  White  and 
Johne,  his  wife,  vendors  of  two  messuages,  two  gardens,  25  acres 
of  land,  6  of  meadow,  2  of  pasture  and  common  of  pasture  with 
appurts.  in  East  Retford,  West  Retford  and  Babworth  in  Co. 
Notts.    Feet  of  Fines  Trinity,  14  Car.  II.,  1662. 

Note.— The  Dorothy  Carr  I  fail  to  place.  John  Maltby  is  evidently  the 
son  of  John,  Will  proved  1647-8,  and  when  he  became  of  age  the  property 
in  Briggate  was  to  be  sold  and  he  was  to  receive  £100  and  his  brother  Robert 
was  to  have  the  residue.  Consequently  John  Maltby  was  evidently  b.  in 
1640-41.  Mary  Holmes  I  take  to  be  his  widowed  mother,  who  m.  George 
Holmes  and  Johne  (Joan)   White  may  have  been  his  sister  Jane.

Cotton  of  Crake  Marsh,  Co.  Stafford,  Esq.,  son  and  heir  of  Wm. 
Cotton  and  Ann  Cotton.  Orator's  mother,  Ann,  was  seised  of 
the  Crowne  Inn  in  Bawtry,  Co.  York,  and  worth  £50  per  ann. 
In  1642,  your  Orator  was  in  ward  of  the  Court  of  Wards  and  a 
fine  was  set  at  £450  and  £40  rent.  By  assignments  the  Crowne 
became  vested  in  Robert  Maltby,  who  is  since  dead  and  the  mes- 
suage has  come  to  Daniel  Maltby.  an  infant  son  and  heir  of  said 
Robert,  who  with  Richard  Thwaits,   gent.,   have  threatened  to 

*  Arthur  H.  Norway  in  "Highways  and  Byways  in  Yorkshire"  writes: 
"I  have  ridden  far  (on  bicycle)  and  am  goina:  into  tlie  Trown,'  that  pic- 
turesque old  liostelry,  for  some  refreshment,  over  which  the  proverbial 
saying  about  the  town  warns  me  not  to  liurry,  lest  I  be  overtaken  by  the 
fate  of  'the  saddler  of  Bawtry.  who  was  hanged  for  leaving  liis  liquor.'". 
The  incident  follows.  This  "Crown,"  where  he  stopped  is  very  probably 
the  same  "Crowne"  messuage  owned  by  Daniel  Maltby.  A  note  on  tlie 
Twaite  family  (Richard  Thwaite  was  brother-in-law  of  Daniel  MaUby) 
will  be  found   under  date   1668.

XoTE. — From  this  item  we  find  that  Robert  Maultby  of  Bawtry  sold  a 
house  in  Bawtry  to  Richard  Beare  a  short  time  before  6  August  1672.  It 
It  was  probably  in  order  to  have  ready  money  for  his  voyage  to  Xew  Eng-

mortgaged  three  messuages  in  Bawtry.  Langley  conveyed  his

before  1714,  C.  542-206.) 

Note. — This  also  bears  out  the  supposition  that  to  raise  money  to  go 
to  New  England,  Robert  Maultbie  mortgaged  his  three  messuages  in  Bawtry. 
See  American  notes,  where  he  mentions  "ye  wrong  sustained  in  coming  from 
England,"  etc.

deft,  as  next  of  kin  by  the  P.  C.  Y.  Estate  of  Ann  Maltbv. 
(Chanc.  Proc.  before  1714,  C.  63.) 

Note. — It  would  seem  that  Ann.  vv.  of  Robert  Maltbv  of  Bawtry,  Will 
proved  1663-5,  was  an  Alured  or  possibly  John  Alured  was  a  sister's  son. 
If  she  were  an  Alured,  then  William  Maltbv,  Will  1666-7,  was  probably  the 
son  by  a  first  wife  (perhaps  Barbara)  Stoakham.  It  also  would  seem  that 
Robert  Maltby,  returning  to  England  and  needing  funds,  tried  to  collect 
rents  from  the  estate  left  his  infant  daughter  by  her  grandmother.  The  fact 
that  this  Robert  of  Bawtry  was  slighted  in  his  brother's  will  and  that  he 
seems  to  have  been  in  more  or  less  legal  difficulties,  rather  points  to  the 
fact  that  he  was  personna  non  grata  with  his  relatives.

With  the  hope  that  some  descendant,  either  in  England  or  tiie  States 
may  be  able  to  furnish  some  information  concerning  the  following  item  we 
are  publishing  it  in  this  book.  Anyone  who  can  throw  any  light  on  this 
subject  is  earnestly  requested  to  inform  the  compiler. 

"The  History  of  Massachusetts,  from  the  first  settlement  in  1628  to 
1750  by  Thomas  Hutchinson,  late  Governor  of  Massachusetts,  Boston,  1795," 
page  357. 

(In  the  year  1740.)  ".\t  length  it  being  known  that  Lord  Euston's 
election  for  Coventry  was  dubious,  one  of  these  gentlemen  undertook  to  the 
Duke  of  Grafton  to  secure  the  election,  provided  Mr.  Belcher  might  imme- 
diately be  removed,  and  to  accomplish  his  design  he  represented  to  Mr. 
Maltby,  a  large  dealer  in  Coventry  stuffs,  and  a  zealous  dissenter,  that  Mr. 
Belcher  was  with  the  Episcopal  clergy,  conspiring  the  ruin  of  the  Congre- 
gational interest  in  New  England,  and  unless  he  was  immediately  removed, 
it  would  be  irrevocably  lost;  that  the  Duke  of  Grafton  had  promised  if  Lord 
Euston's  election  could  be  secured  it  should  be  done;  that  letters  to  hi? 
friends  in  Coventry  would  infallibly  secure  it;  that  he  could  not  better  em- 
ploy his  interest  than  in  the  cause  of  God  and  religion.  Maltby  swallowed 
the  bait,  used  all  his  interest  for  Lord  Euston  ;  the  twe  gentlemen  spent  three 
weeks  at  Coventry,  and  having  succeeded,  agreeable  to  the  Duke's  promise, 
Mr.  Belcher  was  removed  a  day  or  two  after  their  return.  This  account  I 
received  from  Mr.  Maltby  himself,  who  lamented  that  he  had  suffered  him- 
self to  be  so   easily  imposed  on." 

From  the  synta.x  it  would  seem  that  the  "Mr.  ]\Ialtby"  of  whom  Gov- 
ernor Hutchinson  wrote,  resided  in  the  Colony  and  journeyed  to  England 
to  labor  for  the  interests  of  the  Congregational  Church  in  New  England, 
and  that  he  returned  to  New  England,  where  he  had  an  interview  with 
Governor  Hutchinson.  W'ho  was  this  "Mr.  Maltby?"  \Va^  it  Captain 
Samuel  (2)  Maltby?  The  Genealogist  can  think  of  no  other  Maltby  who 
would  have  been  of  the  proper  age  and  educationally  fitted  for  such  a  mis- 
sion. If  this  was  Samuel  (2)  Maltby.  did  he  visit  relatives  in  England  at 
this  time,  and  did  he  perhaps  bring  back  that  "coat-of-arms"  which  figures 
in  the  inventory  of  his  estate  some  ten  years  later? 

Could  some  reader  look  up  the  above  mentioned  reference?  Doubtless 
if  we  had  more  material  copied  we  should  have  some  clue  to  the  identity  of 
the  "Mr.  Maltby"  mentioned.  Possibly  there  are  other  references  to  the 
Maltbys  in  this  book.     It  is  certainly  worth  investigating.

IX.  WILLIAM  (9)  de  Malebisse,  Aliles,  1339  (d.  about 
1365,  12  Edward  III.)  ;  m.  a  dau.  of  John  Sampson,  Miles.  His 
sister  Margaret  (9)  m.  Thomas  Fairfax  of  Walton.  They  had  Clar- 
issa (10)  Fairfax,  who  m.  first,  William  Palmes  (q.v.)  and  second. 
Sir  William  Malbis.    William  (9)  Maltby  had  Sir  Thomas  (10). 

X.  WALTER  (10),  the  latter,  on  going  to  the  Holy  Lands 
mortgaged  Scalton  to  William  Fairfax,  making  latter's  son,  Richard, 
his  heir  if  he  did  not  return.  His  brother.  Sir  Thomas  (10)  de 
Malebisse,  had  a  daughter,  Margaret  (11)  who  m.  Richard  Fairfax 
(son  of  W'illiam  to  whom  Walter  (10)  Maltby  mortgaged  Scalton), 
who  was  heir  of  her  uncle  Walter  (10).  Sir  Thomas  (10)  also 
l;ad  a  daughter,  Elizabeth  (11)  Maltb}',  co-heiress  with  Margaret 
Maltbv  Fairfax. 

XI.  AIARGARET  Malebisse  Fairfax  had  a  dau.  Elizabeth 
(12)  Fairfax,  who  m.  first,  John  Herringe,  and  second  Adam  Beck- 
with  of  Clynt,  according  to  one  authority ;  another  claims  it  was 
Elizabeth  (11)  Malebisse,  co-heiress  with  Margaret  (11),  who  m. 
first  John  Herringe  and  second  Adam  Beckwith  of  Clint.  It  must 
be  remembered  that  Adam  Beckwith  was  a  Maltby  by  blood,  the 
Beckwith  being  a  maternal  ancestry.     See  Pedigree  of  Beckwith. 

This  family  apparently  dies  out,  as  it  ends  in  female  lines  only, 
but  it  must  be  remembered  that  only  the  line  of  one  son  was  carried 
down,  and  there  must  have  been  many  branches  from  this  tree.  For 
proof  that  this  was  the  case  we  find :  "4  Oct.,  1426,  the  Will  of 
Dame  Sibilla,  relic,  of  Sir  William  Malbys,  Kt.,  of  Acaster  Malbys. 
Adm.  Vol.  II.,  folio  497. 

Note — It  is  probable  that  Guilfrid  (2),  who  witnessed  the  charter  of 
the  founding  of  Beverl}'  Abbey,  Lincohishire.  was  the  progenitor  of  the  Lin- 
colnshire Malbys  (see  Pedigree)  and  that  Sir  William  (3)  de  Maltby.  1207, 
who  held  lands  in  Cleveland  was  the  head  of  the  Maltbys  of  ]\Ialtby  branch 
(see  Pedigree  II.)  ;  though  as  yet  this  has  not  been  proven. 


78  MALTBY— FAAIILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

An  item  that  evidently  refers  to  Walter  (10)  Maltby  of  this  pedigree, 
appears  in  Miss  Mary  Cholmondeley's  "Diana  Tempest"  and  is  well  worth 
inserting  here.  The  item  is  quoted  from  memory,  but  relates  how,  while 
at  church,  one  of  the  characters  looked  up  to  the  window,  where  the  sun 
streamed  through  the  painted  arms  of  the  Alaltbys  "of  the  pious,  penniless 
Maltby  who  sold  his  lands  to  his  grasping  Tempest  (?)  brother-in-law,  that 
he  might  go  to  the  Holy  Lands."  And  later  two  of  the  characters  stand  in 
the  window  of  the  tower  of  the  castle  and  look  down  at  the  sill  where  "Tom 
Fairfax  carved  his  name  in  the  days  of  Cromwell."  * 

From  these  items  it  seemed  quite  evident  that  Miss  Cholmondeley  was 
acquainted  with  some  of  the  ancient  history  of  the  Maltbys,  Fairfaxes,  etc., 
and  the  compiler  wrote  requesting  any  further  information  she  might  be 
able  to  give.  Miss  Cholmondeley  replied  in  the  third  person:  "IMiss  Chol- 
mondeley knows  nothing  of  the  Alaltbys."  A  note  so  curt  and  lacking  in 
the  ordinary  forms  of  civility,  it  needs  must  leave  anything  but  a  fortunate 
impression  of  the  author  of  "Red  Pottage,"  etc.  Cholmondeley  Castle  was, 
and  still  is,  in  Cheshire,  and  the  description  given  of  the  ancient  tower  in 
"Diana  Tempest"  is  evidently  a  description  of  the  one  at  Cholmondeley 
Castle,  so  perhaps  the  Maltby  arms  are  also  there.  For  a  Maltby  residing 
in  Cheshire,  see  under  date  1211,  relating  to  Richard  de  Maltebi.

I.  Htigo  Alalebis,  to  whom  Roger  de  ^Nlobrai  (son  and  heir  of

Silton.  Kepwick,  Morton,  Dale  and  Hornby.  ( Vide  York  Cop. 
Papers.  Vol.  II.,  p.  950.) 

II.  One  authority  states:  "Sir  William  Malebis  m.  Emma  de 
Percev,  dan.  of  Henry  de  Percy  of  Acaster."  I  am  inclined  to  think 
this  is  the  correct  record,  and  that  Sir  William  -(2)  is  the  same 
person  as  William  de  Maltby  (i),  Pedigree  II..  who  was  in  Co. 
York,  1 100  A.  D.  Note  that  Wilham  (i)  of  Pedigree  II.,  names  a 
son  Henry.    Was  he  not  named  for  Henry  de  Percy?

to  Richard  Malebisse.     (Vide  York  Cor.  Papers,  A^ol.  II..  p.  954.) 

Note. — Acaster-Malbis :  Emma  de  Percy  was  evidently  either  sole,  or 
co-heiress  of  Henry  de  Percy  of  Acaster.  hence  her  son  is  called  "of  Acaster 
Malbis."     The  name  Roger  de  Molbray  (Mobrai)  is  perhaps  that  from  which 

*  The  quotation  mav  be  found  on  pp.  33-34.  Vol.  II.  of  "Diana  Tempest" 
as  foUows:  "The  very"  sun  himself  smote,  not  throug-h  the  gaudy  figures 
of  Scripture  story,  but  through  the  painted  arms  of  the  Malbys:  of  the 
penniless,  pious  Malby,  who  sold  his  land  to  his  clutching  Tempest  brother- 
in-law  in  order  to  get  out  to  the  Crusades."  And  on  p.  256  of  Vol.  I.  we 
find:  "He  rose  suddenly  and  went  across  to  the  deep  bay  window,  on  the 
stone  sill  of  which  Amyas  Tempest,  and  Tom  Fairfax,  his  friend,  who 
together  had  held  Overleigh  against  the  Roundheads,   had  cut   their  names."

descend  the  Roger  Maltbys  in  later  years.  It  is  well  to  note  the  reference 
to  the  land  of  Eton,  for  we  find  (Pedigree  II.)  that  John  (3)  de  rvlaltby  m. 
a  de  Etton.  "Gilbert"  is  a  name  frequently  found  in  the  Etton  family ;  and 
as  John  (3)  names  a  son  Gilbert,  it  is  very  probable  that  his  wife  was  a 
du.  of  Gilbert  de  Etton.  The  writer  descends  from  Maltilda  de  Etton.  living 
about  1399.  The  Townshend  Family  says  of  her  "  of  noble  race  in  the 
County  York."  In  Pedigree  I.  we  find  that  Sir  William  (3)  de  Maltby,  1207, 
held  lands  in  Cleveland.  Co.  York,  and  built  a  Chapel  at  Ayton.  where  he  was 
lord  of  the  manor  before  1200.  Query:  Is  Ayton  and  Etton  not  the  same

Note. — This  may  be  where  the  name  Nichols  comes  from  in  the  Maltby 
family.  There  is  an  error  somewhere  in  the  dates,  as  it  is  too  long  a  break 
between  1209  and  1331.  It  evidently  should  read  1309  and  1339  may  refer

who  died  in  the  lifetime  of  his  father.  Sir  Michael  Warton  of  Bev- 
erly (d.  1655).  His  wife  was  Elizabeth,  dau.  and  co-heiress  of 
Ralp  Hawsby.  Catharine  Maltby  Warton  had  a  son  Michael  (16) 
Warton  of  Beverly  Park,  Esq.,  ae.  abt.  42,  anno.  15  Sept.,  1666. 
His  w.  was  Susan,  dau.  of  John,  Lord  Paulet  of  Hinton,  St.  George 
Somerset.  (Vide,  le  Neves  Knights,  edit.  Geo.  W.  ^Marshall,  1873; 
Vol.  VIH..  p.  205,  Harl.  Soc.)  " 

NoTr:. — "Susan,  dau.  of  John,  Lord  Pauk't."  Here  we  have  the  surname 
of  the  lieiress  of  Sir  George  Maltby,  his  sister,  Sarah  Maltby  having  married 
John  Poulett.     See  under  date  1640  in  Irish  Notes. 

The  above  data  states  that  Catharine  Maltby  m.  Michael  Warton,  yet 
the  following  record  is  taken  from  the  York  Marriage  Licenses  :  "Sir  Michael 


MALTBY-FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  83 

Warton  of  Beverly  and  Evereld  Maltby  of  Cottingham,  at  Beverly  or  Cot- 
tingham    (m. )    1619." 

The  York  Marriage  Licenses  also  give :  "George  Wentworth,  gent.,  of 
Wolley  and  Averilla  Alaltby  of  Cottingham  (mar.)  1636,  at  Royston  or 
Cottingham." 

It  would  seem  that  Evereld  Alaltby  who  m.  Sir  Michael  Warton  in  1619, 
was  Everild,  wid.  of  Christopher  Maltby,  and  that  she  was  also  a  second 
wife  of  Sir  Michael  Warton,  and  that  their  children,  who  would  have  been 
step-brother  and  sister,  m.  in  1620. 

The  Genealogist,  Vol.  II.,  (1894)  p.  217,  states:  "Michaell  Warton  of 
Beverly,  Esq.,  dyed  in  his  father's  lifetime,  being  slayn  by  a  cannon  bullet 
at  Scarborough  Castle  in  the  time  of  the  late  wars,  it  being  then  a  garrison

1.  Michael  Warton,  named  for  himself  and  father.

an  indenture  made  i  November,  161 5,  between  Michael  Wentworth 
of  Wolley,  Co.  York,  Esqtiire,  and  Edward  Ward  of  Mendham, 
gent.  Confirmation  of  title  to  the  Manor  of  Mendham  Hall  granted

There  seems  to  be  a  close  connection  with  the  Wentworths  here;  also 
with  the  Malbys  of  Stonham  Aspall,  and  in  1633,  we  find  John  Maltbie  of 
Sainton  marrying  Elizabeth  Ward  of  Bain.  See  also  under  date  1662,  where 
John  Ward  and  Elizabeth,  his  wife,  sell  property  in  East  Retford,  etc.  Per- 
haps she  was  a  dau.  of  John  Maltbie  and  Elizabeth  Ward. 

The  Genealogist,  Vol.  XXL,  p.  120,  Dugdale's  Visit  of  Yorkshire,  gives 
the  following:  "Wentworth  Family  of  Wolley.  Arms:  Sable  a  chev.  between 
3  leopard's  faces,  or.  Michael  Wentworth  of  Wolley,  Esq.,  ob.  1641,  m.

second  Baronet  and  Catherine  Tancred. 

Note. — Sir  Roger  Beckwith,  descended  from  Sir  Hercules  ^Malbie,  was 
of  Aldborough,  created  a  Baronet,  1681.     Title  extinct  in  1741. 

The  Tancred  pedigree  is  given  by  Mrs.  Clara  H.  Manning  in  "The  Lore

NOTES  PEDIGREE  II. 

The  three  silver  castors  reprofhiced  in  this  book  are  part  of  a  collection 
of  silver  plate  presented  to  the  City  of  York,  and  were  the  gift  of  Chris- 
topher Maltby,  Alderman  of  York.     See  his  will,  1  Feb.,  27  Elizabeth,  1585. 

It  will  be  seen  that  the  castors  have  a  cross  on  them  in  a  shield. 
Query  :  Does  this  pertain  to  some  coat-of-arms  of  the  City  of  York,  or  is  it 
the  arms  of  the  Norfolk  Maltbys?  An  English  friend  tells  me  that  the  plate 
would  be  likely  to  bear  the  family  arms  of  the  donor.  If  this  is  true  it  would 
be  a  most  interesting  piece  of  evidence  in  connecting  the  Yorkshire  and 
Norfolk  branches  of  the  family.

MAWBEY-SURREY  (See  Pedigree  IV.) 

From  "Planning  and  Bray's  Hist,  of  Surrey,"  Vol.  III. :  "In  the 
small  church  of  Ravenstone,  in  the  road  between  Leicester  and 
Ashbv-de-la-Zouch,  about  two  miles  from  the  latter,  against  the 
north  wall  in  the  Chancel,  on  a  white  marble  table,  is  this  inscrip- 
tion: 'Air.  John  Mawbey,  late  of  this  parish  died,  on  4  Sept.,  1754, 
in  the  62d  year  of  his  age.  Descended  from  an  ancient  and  genteel 
family,  long  settled  in  the  counties  of  Leicester  and  Northampton 
into  which  latter  they  came  from  the  County  of  Norfolk,  where 
formerly  they  were  owners  of  large  possessions.  The  said  John 
Mawbey  m.  Martha,  dau.  of  Mr.  Thomas  Pratt,  late  of  this  parish, 
and  by  her,  who  died  in  1737  had  [4  sons  and  4  daughters].  John 
Mawbey  above  mentioned  was  the  only  son  of  Vir.  William  Mawbey 
of  this  parish,  who  died  in  1733,  seventh  son  of  Erasmus  Mawbey 
of  Sherrton  in  the  Co.  of  Leicester,  only  son  of  Richard  Alawbey 
of  South  Kilworth,  whose  elder  brother  John,  by  Agnes,  dau.  of 
William  Chamberlayne,  Esc|.,  of  Leicester,  was  father  of  Erasmus 
Mawbey  or  Mautbey,  who  in  1643.  joining  the  regiment  of  horse 
commanded  by  Sir  Arthur  Haselrigg,  bart.,  with  many  recruits 
raised  at  his  own  expense,  was  soon  afterwards  killed  at  the  battle 
of  Roundway  Down,  near  the  Deviges  in  Wiltshire,  valiantly  fight- 
ing for  the  liberties  of  his  country.  His  unfortunate  death,  his 
widow's  second  marriage,  and  his  misfortunes  brought  on  them  by 
the  Civil  War,  were  greatly  prejudicial  to  the  interests  of  his  family. 
John  and  Richard  Mawbey  were  the  eldest  sons  of  William  Mawbey. 
From  Thomas,  the  third  son,  are  descended  the  Mawbeys  at  this 
time  of  South  Kilworth.  The  said  William,  with  his  brothers  Rich- 
ard and  Robert,  the  last  of  whom  was  bapt.  at  South  Kilworth  (as 
appears  by  the  Register  of  that  parish)  on  12  May,  1561,  were  the 
sons  of  Richard  Mawbey,  Esq.,  by  Margaret,  his  wife,  of  South 
Kilworth,  aforesaid,  born  at  Keltering  in  the  Co.  of  Northampton 
and  descended  from  the  ancient  family  of  ]\Iazcbeys  or  Mautbeys  of 
the  Co.  of  Norfolk:  Joseph  Mawbey.  Esq..  of  Kennigton  and 
Botleys,  in  the  Co.  of  Surrey,  sheriff,  in  1757,  for  that  county  and 
afterwards  Member  of  Parliament  for  the  Borough  of  Southwark. 
dedicated  this  monument  in  1764,  to  the  memory  of  his  parents  and 
progenitors." 

"Seats  of  Great  Britain."  2nd  Series,  Vol.  I.,  p.  116.  Botlevs  in 
the  Co.  of  Surrey :  "Sir  Joseph  Mawbey  was  descended  from  a  family 
in  Norfolk,  where  the  village  of  Maltby  (originally  Maws-bv)  still 
marks  the  dwelling  place  of  his  Danish  ancestors ;  and  a  ruined 
chapel  at  East  Flegg  exhibited  at  the  close  of  the  last  centurv  the

tomb  and  effigy  of  a  Knight  Templar  named   De   Mauteby.     The 
property  of  the  family  being  confiscated  in  the  Civil  Wars,  they  re- 
moved into  Leicestershire.     Colonel  Mawbey  fell  at  the  head  of  his 
volunteers  in  Sir  Arthur  Hesilrigg's  corps  at  Roundway  Down." 
"John  Dryden  wrote  an  epitaph  for  ^largaret  Alawbey  Paston." 

SUPPLE-MEXTARV    XOTES    PEDIGREE    IV . 

I.  It  will  be  seen  that  Richard  (i).  brother  of  Simon  de 
Alauteby,  had  a  son  Robert  (2),  who  had  six  sons,  one  was  John  (3). 
It  seems  very  probable  that  this  John  (3)  was  the  Sir  John  Alalbye 
of  ]\Ialbye  Hall,  progenitor  of  the  ]\lalbyes  of  Stonham  Aspall, 
Suffolk.  See  Pedigree  \'.,  as  we  see  that  Robert  (2)  gave  to  vSt. 
Mary  of  Sibton  Priory,  Suffolk.  The  brother  Matthew  ( 3 )  is  very 
evidently  he  who  accompanied  the  Earl  of  Norfolk  to  Rome  in  1245  ; 
and  with  "the  King  beyond  the  Seas"  in  1242.  A  Matthew  de 
]\Iatebie  held  Essex  lands  about  the  time  of  Henry  HI.  [1216-1272]. 
See  Pedigree. 

n.  Walter  de  Mauteby.  Bloomfield  gives  under  date  1228: 
"Walter  de  >\Ialteby  conveyed  to  Simon,  the  Prior,  a  messuage,  etc., 
in  Hemsby  and  Marcham  ;  the  Prior  conveyed  to  Walter  all  the  land 
he  had  at  Becham  except  adowson."     Query:  Is  this  W^alter  (2)  ? 

Til.  In  1229  the  Cal.  Pat.  Rolls  mentions  Roberto  Malteby 
and  in  1235  and  1242  we  find  Robert  de  Mauteby,  one  of  the  wardens 
to  keep  the  peace  at  Yarmouth  Fair.     Perhaps  Robert  ( 3 ) . 

I\'.  Perhaps  the  following  items  pertain  to  Walter  (4)  :  1247. 
Walter  de  ]\lauteby  had  free  warren  ( Norfolk ) .  See  also  under 
dates  1249,  '^-53-  i-5^'-  1-270.  1272. 

IN.     Sir  John  m.  Agnes  .     Bloomfield  states  under  date 

1396:  "Sir  John  de  Mauteby  and  Agnes,  his  wife,  enfeoffed  Sir 
Adam  Clifton  in  his  manors  of  Mauteby.  Winterton.  East  Somer- 
ton.  etc..  for  the  use  of  his  eldest  son.  John,  entail."  In  Pedigree 
I\'-A  the  record  reads:  "Sir  John  Mawtby  m.  Elianor  (Elen)  dau. 
of  Adam  Clifton  de  Bokenham."  These  records  are  very  confusino- 
and  quite  beyond  the  compiler  to  untangle.

MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  93 

It  will  be  seen  that  this  pedigree  and  that  of  Mawbey,  Botleys,  Surrey, 
do  not  agree.  For  whereas  both  give  the  Paston  descent,  the  names  of  wives, 
etc.,  are  confused.    The  following  footnotes  are  confusing: 

Sufifolk,  Edward  III.,  reign  [1327-1377]  :  "Sir  Robert  Mauteby.  lord  and 
patron,  succeeded  by  Sir  John  de  ]\Iauteby,  son  of  Sir  John  de  Mauteby,  Kt. 
(1374).  See  Pedigree  VIII.  This  is  evidently  Sir  John  {7),  who  m.  EHanor, 
dau.  of  Adam  Clifton,  and  Robert  (6)  was  probably  his  uncle,  who,  failing 
male  issue,  the  estates  reverted  to  John,  son  of  Sir  John,  Kt."  A  note  also 
states  Margaret  Mawtbye  "possessed  the  ]\Ianors  of  Sparham,  Gresham.  etc."' 

In   this   connection   we    append   a    short   pedigree,    taken,    I    think,    from 
Bloomfield: 
I.     Simon  de  Mawbey  (Maltby,  Co.  Norfolk)   1198. 

Descended  from  him  were : 
Sir  John  Mawbey,  who  d.  1403. 
Sir  John   Mawbey,   whose  dau.   Alianore  m.    Sir   William   Calthorpe.      (This 

should  be  Sir  John,  son  of  Sir  Robert  (10).  Pedigree  IV.) 
John  de  INIawby,  whose  dau.  and  heiress,  Margaret,  m.  John  Paston,  ancestor 

of  Ex.  Earl  of  Yarmouth. 
Descended  from  above:  Thomas  Mautby,  Esq.,  of  Sparham. 

Here  again  is  confusion  of  names  in  the  descent. 

Descended  from  this  union  was  Sir  William  Paston  of  Paston,  and 
Oxnead  (Created  Baronet.  1642)  and  his  son.  Sir  Robert  Paston,  who  was 
created  Viscount  Yarmouth  and  subsequently  Earl  of  Yarmouth.  The  Pas- 
tons  of  Paston,  Co.  Norfolk,  settled  there  soon  after  the  Conquest.  Their 
arms  were :  Az.  6  fleur  de  lys  az.,  a  chief  indented  or.  (Vide  Burke's  Gen. 
Arm.,  3rd  Edit.) 

Margaret  Mauteby  Paston  is  the  author  of  the  famous  "Paston  Letters," 
which  are  most  valuable  and  instructive,  giving  clear  pictures  of  times,  cus- 
toms, feelings,  etc.,  of  English  life  in  the  Fifteenth  Century,  and  should  most 
certainly  be  of  interest  to  all  Maltbys. 

SUPPLKMKXTARY    NoTES   PEDIGREE   lV.-\ 

VIII.  According  to  Bloomfield,  p.  227,  the  will  of  Robert 
Mauteby,  Esq.,  1413,  mentions  wife  Eleanor  (Alianore),  son  John, 
son  and  heir ;  his  brother  John ;  daughter  Eleanor ;  a  nun ;  daughter 
Agnes ;  sons,  Walter,  Peter.  Thomas,  underage,  and  his  wid.  m. 
1442.  Thomas  Chambers,  lord  of  Sparham  in  her  right. 

Supplementary  Notes  to  Pedigree  No.  IV. 

Norfolk  Pedigree.     (Before  Conquest   ?) 

From  Bloomfield's  Hist,  of  Norfolk:  "The  Manor  (or  Lord- 
ship) of  Maltby  or  Matitby,  Co.  Norfolk,  was  in  existence  before 
the  Conquest.  When  Wiston  the  (Saxon  ?)  tenant  was  expelled." 
Further  Bloomfield  says :  "A  family  who  took  their  name  from  the 
the  town  were  Earey  EnFEOFEEd  of  it  by  the  Crown.  In  1 198  Simon 
de  Maudeby  had  interests  in  the  Manor  of  Maltby.  Also  a  Walter 
de  Malteby  in  1166,  had  dealings  respecting  land  (Becham  Manor) 


94  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

with  Simon,  the  Prior  of  Norwich.  In  1284,  a  Walter  de  Mallety 
or  Mautby  described  as  Lord  of  Malteby  also  had  dealings  respect- 
ing Becham  Manor  lands  with  the  prior  of  Norwich  Monastery."' 
From  this  I  conclude  that  the  name  Maltby  (of  Maltby.  Co.  Norfolk) 
was  adopted  by  this  family  before  1166.  I  also  take  "early  enfe- 
offed" to  mean  that  the  family  were  probably  enfeoffed  by  the 
Crown  soon  after  the  Crown  took  possession  of  it,  say  temp.  Will.  I., 
or  Will.  II.— probably  Will.  I.  Contributed  Note  by  Edward  Wells

MALTBY-PASTON   (Addenda) 

Since  writing  the  above  a  few  interesting  notes  concerning  this 
family  were  found  in  a  delightful  book,  "The  Norfolk  Broads,"  by 
W.  A.  Dutt,  and  seem  well  worth  quoting  in  this  book.  On  page 
104  is  the  following:  "A  bv-road  branching  off  southeast  from  the 
Ormsby  road  where  it  skirts  the  village  green  leads  to  Mautby.  a 
parish  bordering  the  Bure.  Here  again  we  come  in  touch  with  the 
Pastons,  for  Margaret  Paston,  whose  letters  are  the  most  delighful 
in  the  famous  collection,  was  a  daughter  of  John  de  Mauteby,  who 
held  the  manor  in  the  middle  of  the  fifteenth  century.  Undeniably, 
it  is  Margaret  Paston  who  gives  life  to  the  Letters,  which  although 
invaluable  to  students  who  would  acquaint  themselves  with  the  con- 
ditions of  life  in  England  during  the  reigns  of  the  kings  of  the

bouses  of  York  and  Lancaster,  would  be  soniewbat  dry  reading  if 
it  were  not  for  ber  love  for  ber  lord  and  careful  guardianship  of 
his  interests.  Her  fond  love  for  her  children,  too,  is  often  mani- 
fested though  there  are  times  when  we  might  think  her  mercenary 
if  we  failed  to  understand  the  customs  of  the  age  in  which  she  lived. 
For  instance  she  writes  to  her  'right  worshipful  husband'  as  fol- 
lows :  'I  was  at  Norwich  this  week  to  purvey  such  things  as  needeth 
me  this  winter ;  and  I  was  at  my  mother's,  and  while  I  was  there, 
there  came  in  one  Wrothe,  a  kinsman  of  Elizabeth  Clere,  and  be 
saw  your  daughter,  and  praised  her  to  my  mother,  and  said  she 
was  a  goodly  young  woman ;  and  my  mother  prayed  him  for  to  get 
for  her  a  good  marriage  if  he  knew  of  any ;  and  he  said  he  knew 
one  .  .  .  the  which  is  Sir  John  Cley's  son,  that  is  Chamberlain 
with  my  Lady  of  York,  and  he  is  of  age  eighteen  years  old.  If 
ye  think  it  to  be  for  to  be  spoken  of,  my  mother  thinketh  that  it 
should  be  got  for  less  money  now  in  this  world  than  it  should  be 
hereafter,  either  that  one  or  some  other  good  marriage.'  From 
this  epistle  it  might  be  imagined  that  Dame  Margaret  considered 
mutual  love  an  unessential  adjunct  of  matrimonial  contracts;  but 
elsewhere  she  reveals  a  kindly  interest  in  a  love-sick  maiden.  Writ- 
ing to  her  son,  Sir  John  Paston,  who  was  probably  with  King 
Edward  IV.  at  Pomfret  at  the  time,  she  says.  'I  would  you  should 
speak  with  Wekis  (Wykes,  an  usher  of  the  King's  Chamber),  and 
know  his  disposition  to  Jane  Walsham.  She  hath  said,  since  he 
departed  hence,  but  (unless)  she  might  have  him,  she  would  never 
marry,  her  heart  is  so  sore  set  on  him,  she  told  me  that  he  said 
to  her  that  there  was  no  woman  in  the  world  he  loved  so  well.  I 
would  not  he  should  jape  her,  for  she  meaneth  good  faith.'  But, 
like  a  careful  match-maker,  she  is  anxious  that  her  young  friend's 
matrimonial  prospects  should  not  be  entirely  marred  by  this  usher 
who  loved  and  rode  away,  for  she  adds,  "If  he  will  not  have  her  let 
me  know  in  haste,  and  I  shall  purvey  for  her  in  otherwise.'  Then 
the  careful  mother  shows  herself,  for  she  goes  on  to  say,  'As  for 
your  harness  and  gear  that  you  left  here,  it  is  in  Daubeney's  keep- 
ing, it  was  never  removed  since  your  departing,  because  that  he  had 
not  the  keys,  I  trow  it  shall  get  injured  unless  it  be  taken  heed 
to  betimes.  ...  I  sent  your  grey  horse  to  Ruston  to  the  farrier, 
and  he  saith  he  shall  never  be  nought  to  ride,  neither  right  good  to 
plow  not  to  cart ;  he  saith  he  was  splayed,  and  his  shoulder  rent 
from  the  body.  I  know  not  what  to  do  with  him.'  This  letter  was 
conveyed  to  her  son  by  the  rector  of  Filby,  as  appears  from  a 
postscript:  'I  would  you  should  make  much  of  the  parson  of  Filby, 
the  bearer  hereof,  and  make  him  good  cheer  if  vou  mav."     Delight-

fill  Dame  Margaret !  Her  gentle  wraith  seems  to  haunt  the  meads 
of  her  Caister*  home.  She  was  buried  in  Alautby  Church,  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  instructions  of  her  will,  in  which  she  desires  to 
be  interred  'in  the  aisle  of  that  church  at  Alawteby,  in  which  aisle 
rest  the  bodies  of  divers  of  mine  ancestors ;'  and  that  'under  a 
scutcheon  of  arms"  should  be  inscribed  the  words.  'God  is  my  trust.' 
Her  tomb  has  vanished  with  the  south  aisle  in  which  it  stood  ;  but 
at  the  south  end  of  the  nave  is  a  marble  tomb  and  cross-legged 
effigy  of  Sir  Walter  de  Mauteby,  one  of  her  ancestors  who  died  in 
1248. 

"\\'ithin  the  bounds  of  the  parish  is  a  boat  ferry  on  the  Bure. 
It  is  called  Mautby  Swim,  being  one  of  the  spots  where  cattle  used 
to  swim  across  the  river  to  and  from  the  marshes.  ...  At 
Mautby  are  some  ancient  memorials  of  the  Mawteby  family,  in- 
cluding the  earliest  existing  in  Broadland  probably.    ..." 

*  Caister  Castle.  (Page  196).  This  castle  is  one  of  the  oldest  brick 
houses  in  England,  and  was  built  by  Sir  John  Fastolff,  who  lived  there 
in  great  state  until  he  died  in  1459.  At  his  death  the  castle  came  in  to 
possession  of  John  Paston;  but  Thomas  Mowbray,  the  powerful  Duke  of 
Norfolk  asserted  that  "Sir  John  had  given  him  Caister  and  tliat  he  would 
have  it  plainly";  and  in  1469  he  laid  siege  to  the  castle.  Its  defenders 
numbered  only  twenty-eight,  but  they  seem  to  have  made  a  gallant  de- 
fence. In  the  end,  however,  "from  sore  lack  of  victual  and  gun  powder," 
tliey  were  compelled  to  surrender.  Lengthy  legal  proceedings  ensued. 
Margaret  Paston  in  a  letter  to  her  husband,  writes:  "My  Lord  of  Nor- 
wich said  to  me  that  he  would  not  liave  abide  the  sorrow  and  trouble 
that  you  have  'abyden'  to  win  all  Sir  John  Fastolff's  goods."  But  the 
Duke  retained  possession  until  his  death,  when  the  king  confirmed  John 
Paston's  right  to  tlie  estate,  and  until  1599  the  castle  was  the  cliief  seat 
of  tlie  Pastons  family.  In  that  year  they  removed  to  the  fine  Hall  Clement 
Paston  had  built  at  Oxneadt.  ...  In  its  original  state  it  was  a  large 
quadrangular  building  containing,  besides  the  state  apartments,  twenty-six 
large  rooms.  It  was  surrounded  by  two  moats,  the  inner  containing  the 
greater  part  of  the  buildings  of  which  there  are  ruins  remaining,  the  outer 
a  college  which,  though  founded  by  Fastolff.  was  not  erected  until  the 
Paston's  time.  The  chief  entrance — a  square,  ornamented  gateway — was 
on  tlie  west  side.  The  principal  remaining  portions  on  the  nortli  and 
west  walls,  and  a  circular  tower,  about  ninety  feet  high,  at  the  northwest 
corner  of  the  quadrangel.  These  ruins  are  surrounded  by  the  inner  moat. 
Of  the  outer  moat  there  are  no  traces;  but  some  walls  and  a  small  round 
tower  embodied  in  a  house  adjoining  the  ruins  undoubtedly  formed  part 
of  tlie  castle;  and  with  the  college  buildings,  were  contained  within  the 
outer  moat.  .  .  .  Caister  Castle  is  one  of  the  most  interesting  ruins  in 
Norfolk.  Seen  as  it  is  against  a  background  of  fine  trees  growing  beyond 
tlie   moat,   its   tower   and   walls   are   strikingly   picturesque. 

t  Again  writing  of  the  Pastons  says  (page  16):  "Vanished,  too,  is  that 
stately  hall  at  Oxnead  which  Clement  Paston,  a  distinguished  naval  com- 
mander of  the  reign  of  Henry  VIII.  built  and  in  which  King  Charles  II. 
was  sumptuously  entertained.  .  .  ."  (page  15.3):  "In  1676,  when  it  was 
occupied  by  Robert  Paston,  Viscount  Yarmouth,  King  Charles  II.,  .jour- 
neyed to  it  from  Norwich  and  was  lavishly  entertained,  an  immense  ban- 
queting  hall   being   built   specially   for    the    occasion."

MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  101 

SIR  NICHOLAS  MALBY 

The  following  account  of  Sir  Nicholas  ]\Ialby  is  taken  from  the 
Dictionary  of  National  Biography,  Vol.  XXX\\,  p.  395 : 

MALBY,  Sir  Nicholas  (i530?-i584)  president  of  Connaught, 
descended  from  an  old  Yorkshire  family  of  that  name,  was  b.  prob- 
ably about  1530.  In  1556  his  name  appears  in  a  list  of  persons 
willing  to  take  part  in  the  plantation  of  Leix,  in  Ireland.  (State 
Papers.  Ireland,  Mary  I.,  21 )  On  6  August.  1562,  he  was  found 
guilty  of  coining,  and  with  three  of  his  associates,  was  condemned 
to  death  (Machyn,  Diary,  p.  290).  He  was,  however,  reprieved  on 
consenting  to  serve  under  Ambrose  Dudley,  Earl  of  Warwick,  in 
France  (State  Papers,  Dom.  Eliz.  XXI\\,  41).  His  letters  show 
him  to  have  been  a  man  of  education  and  intelligence,  and  in  April, 
1563,  he  is  described  as  Warwick's  secretary  (Cal.  State  Papers, 
Fr.  VIII.,  294).  He  served  with  credit  during  the  war.  and  in 
1565  was  sent  to  Spain,  where  he  was  commended  for  his  judicious 
conduct  by  Phayre,  the  English  minister  at  Madred  (Ibid  IX.,  520). 
On  his  return  to  England  he  was  sent  to  Ireland,  and  was  shortly 
after  appointed  sergeant-major  of  the  army  by  Sir  Henry  Sidney 
(Cal.  Fiants  Eliz.  No.  1191). 

After  the  death  of  Shane  O'Neill  in  1567.  he  was  stationed  at 
Carrick-fergus  in  order  to  assist  Captain  Piers  in  keeping  the  Scots 
of  the  Glynns  in  check  (Ibid  No.  1196).  He  was  reproved  by  the 
lord  justices  for  distraining  Sir  Brian  MacPhelim  O'Neill's  and  other 
Irishmen's  castles  for  cess,  but  his  conduct  was  justified  by  Sir 
Henry  Sidney  (State  Papers,  Ireland,  Eliz.  XXII.,  28.37). 

His  position  was  a  difficult  one,  and  he  complained  that  he  had 
to  feed  his  men  at  the  cost  of  his  carcass  (Ibid  XXIII.,  37-39).  but 
he  displayed  considerable  tact  in  his  mana-^ement  of  vSorley  Boy 
MacDonnel  (q.  v.),  and  Sidney,  on  visitino:  the  north  in  October, 
I  S<^8,  found  the  charge  committed  to  him  in  verv  good  state  ( Ibid 
XX  VT.  12). 

In  July,  1569.  he  was  sent  to  the  assistance  of  Sir  Peter  Carew 
(q  v.)  against  the  Butlers  (Hooker's  "Life  of  Sir  P.  Carew,  ed. 
Maclean,"  p.  92)  and  in  a  skirmish  near  Carlow,  he  was  severely 
hurt  by  a  fall  from  his  horse.  He  was  warmlv  commended  for  his 
bravery  and  military  skill  by  Sir  W.  Fitzwilliam  and  Sir  Edward 
Fitton,  and  on  22  March,  1571.  he  obtained  a  grant  of  the  office  of 
collector  of  customs  of  Strangford.  Ardglass  and  Dundrum  (Cal. 
Fiants.,  Eliz.  No.  1772). 

In  the  spring  of  1571  he  visited  England.  He  strongly  ad- 
vocated colonizing  the  north  of  Ireland  with  Englishmen  as  the  best 


102  .MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

means  of  preventing  the  growth  of  a  Scottish  power  in  those  parts 
(State  Papers,  Ireland.  Ehz.  XXIII. .  t^j).  And  on  5  Oct.,  1571, 
he  obtained  a  grant  of  MacCartan's  country,  corresponding  to  the 
modern  barony  of  Kinelarty,  in  County  Down,  on  condition  that 
he  planted  it  with  civil  and  loyal  subjects  before  28  March,  1579. 
On  his  way  back  to  Ireland  in  February,  1572,  he  captured  a  Span- 
ish ship  in  the  Channel  (Ibid  XXXV.,  22,  23).  On  10  April,  he 
received  a  commission  to  execute  martial  law  in  MacCartan's 
county,  but  the  indiscretion  of  Thomas  Smith  in  publishing  his 
scheme  for  the  plantation  of  the  Ardes  Upper  Clandeboye,  by  put- 
ting the  Irish  on  their  guard,  placed  insuperable  obstacles  in  the 
way  of  realizing  his  plan.  He  succeeded  in  reducing  Sir  Brian 
O'Neill  to  temporary  submission  in  October,  1572,  and  in  the  fol- 
lowing month  captured  that  chieftain's  youngest  daughter,  but,  not- 
withstanding his  utmost  exertions  in  conjunction  with  Smith,  and 
at  a  later  period  with  Walter  Devereaux,  Earl  of  Essex  (q.  v.)  he 
failed  to  establish  himself  permanentlv  in  the  countrv  assigned  to 
him  (Ibid  XXXVIII.  26.  38;  XXXIX..  45;  XLII.,  58;  XLVIIL, 
57). 

His  efforts  were,  however,  warmly  appreciated  by  Essex,  and 
though,  as  Waterhouse  said,  a  man  of  few  word  and  an  ill  courtier, 
but  of  great  reputation  among  soldiers  (Ibid  XLIX.,  i  )  he  was 
chosen  by -him  to  report  to  the  privy  council  on  the  situation  of 
affairs  in  the  north  in  December,  1574  (Ibid  XLVIIL,  66). 

He  returned  to  Ireland  on  5  May,  1575,  with  special  instruc- 
tions for  the  Earl  of  Essex,  and  with  an  order  for  his  own  admis- 
sion to  the  privy  council  (Cal.  Carew  M.  S.  S.  II.,  4-7).  He  had 
made  a  good  impression  on  Leicester  and  Walsingham,  who  recom- 
mended him  to  the  queen  for  the  government  of  Connaught,  but 
several  months  elapsed  before  this  recommendation  took  effect  (Col- 
lins, Sidney  Papers,  I.,  70).  During  the  summer  of  that  year  he 
took  part  in  Essex's  expedition  against  Sorley  Boy,  and  may  pos- 
sibly have  assisted  at  the  massacre  of  the  MacDonnells  on  the  island 
of  Rathlin  (Devereaux,  Lives  of  the  Earls  of  Essex.  I.,  p.  108-17). 

He  accompanied  Sir  Henry  Sidney  into  Connaught  in  Sept  . 
1576,  and  having  been  knighted  by  him  on  7  Oct.  (cf  Cal.  Carew 
M.  S.  S.  II.,  149,  where  1578  is  evidently  a  mistake  for  1576.) 

[Note  by  the  Secretary — Shaw's  Book  of  Knights,  \).  yy,  has 
the  following:  "Sir  Nicholas  Malby.  chief  of  the  Commissioners  of 
Connaught — Knighted  at  Athlone  (Ireland  7  Oct.  1576."]  He 
was  appointed  colonel  or  military  governor  of  that  province  (Col- 
lins, Sidney  Papers,  I..  129).  As  soon  as  he  had  established  him- 
self firmly  in  his  government.  Malby  proceeded  against  John  and 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  103 

Ulick  Burke,  sons  of  the  Earl  of  Clanricarde.  It  was  in  the  dead 
of  winter,  but  for  twent3--one  days,  he  harried  their  countries  with 
fire  and  sword,  sparing  neither  young  nor  old  (State  Papers,  Ire- 
land, Eliz.  LVII.,  40).  The  vigor  he  displayed,  and  the  success 
that  attended  his  efforts,  drew  from  Sidney,  who  was  at  first  doubt- 
ful of  his  qualifications  for  the  post,  unstinted  praise  (Collins,  Sid- 
ney Papers,  I..  151,  166). 

His  strict  observance  of  military  discipline  and  his  impartial 
administration  of  justice  gained  for  him  the  respect  of  the  soldiers 
and  natives  alike  (Bagnell,  Ireland  under  the  Tudors,  II.,  339). 

On  19  May,  1577,  he  was  placed  on  the  commission  for  eccle- 
siastical causes  (Cal.  Fiants,  Eliz.  No.  3047).  In  October,  after 
arranging  a  feud  between  O'Conor  Don  and  MacDonough,  he,  at 
O'Conor  Sligo's  request,  attacked  the  castle  of  Bundrowes  and 
having  captured  it  from  O'Donnell,  restored  it  to  O'Conor  Sligo. 
But  not  having  much  confidence  in  the  loyalty  of  the  latter,  he 
appointed  Richard  MacSwnie  sheriff  of  the  county  of  Sligo.  He 
had  hardly  turned  his  back  when  O'Donnell  invaded  the  county, 
slew  the  sheriff  and  besieged  Bundrowes,  compelling  him  to  re- 
trace his  steps.  He  drove  O'Donnell  out  of  the  county,  but  was 
unable  to  overtake  him.  (Annals  of  Loch  Ce.  LL..  415-19.)  At 
Sligo,  on  his  way  back  to  Roscommon,  he  came  to  terms  with  Brian 
O'Rourke,  but  the  arrangement  did  not  last  long,  owing  to 
O'Rourke's  refusal  to  expel  certain  coiners  he  maintained.  In  April, 
1578,  Malby  invaded  his  country,  captured  his  chief  castle,  and  put 
the  entire  garrison  to  the  sword  (Collins,  Sidney  Papers,  I.,  249). 
In  connection  with  this  episode,  and  considering  his  own  antecedents, 
it  is  curious  to  find  Malby  about  this  time  interceding  with  Walsing- 
ham  for  his  friend  Thomas  Bavand  of  Liverpool,  suspected  of  coin- 
ing (State  Papers,  Ireland,  Eliz.  LIX.,  48). 

In  the  autumn  of  1578  he  repaired  to  England,  returning  to 
Ireland  in  May,  1579,  with  the  higher  title  of  president  of  Con- 
naught  (Cal.  Carew  M.  S.  S..  II..  154).  After  the  failure  of  Essex's 
colonization  project,  his  grant  of  ]\IacCartan's  country  had  been,  by 
Sidney's  advice,  revoked  (Collins,  Sidney  Papers.  I.,  76)  but  in 
consideration  of  his  recent  services,  and  the  losses  he  had  formerly 
sustained,  he  on  12  April,  1579,  received  a  grant  of  the  manor  and 
lordship  of  Roscommon,  together  with  an  annual  rent  of  f200  out 
of  the  composition  paid  by  the  O'Farrells.  and  certain  lands  in 
Longford  (Morrin.  Cal.  Pat.  Rolls,  II..  17).  During  his  absence 
in  England  his  officers  and  soldiers  behaved  badly,  but  Connaught 
remained  tranquil  (State  Papers.  Ireland.  Eliz.  LX\"I.,  67.  68).  So 
firmly  established,  indeed,  was  the  peace  of  the  province,  that  on  the 


104  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

outbreak  of  James  Fitzmaurice's  rebellion  in  July,  Malby,  with  six 
hundred  well-furnished  troops,  marched  to  Limerick  to  co-operate 
with  the  lord  justice,  Sir  WilHam  Drwry  (q.  v.).  Owing  to  Drwry's 
illness  the  task  of  suppressing  the  rebellion  devolved  mainly  upon 
him.  He  displayed  commendable  zeal  in  prosecuting  the  rebels  and 
on  3  October  he  defeated  Sir  John  and  Sir  James  of  Desmond  at 
Monasteranenagh  in  county  Limerick  (Ibid  LXIX.,  17-52,  LXVIIL, 
45).  He  strongly  suspected  the  Earl  of  Desmond  of  disloyalty,  and 
after  several  uneffectual  efforts  (Ibid  LXIX.,  52;  I.,  IX.)  to  secure 
his  co-operation,  treated  him  as  a  rebel,  while  Desmond,  without 
much  reason,  complained  that  Malby's  severity  was  a  chief  cause 
of  his  rebellion  (Ibid  LXIX.,  70;  LXXVIL,  52). 

On  the  arrival  of  the  Earl  of  Ormonde  in  November  with  a 
commission  to  command  the  army  in  Munster,  Malby  returned  to  his 
charge  in  Connaught.  He  belonged  to  the  Leicester  faction,  and 
for  this  and  other  more  personal  reasons  bore  no  good-will  to  Or- 
monde, whom  he  subsequently  charged  with  misrepresenting  his 
services  in  Munster,  and  with  abetting  disorder  in  Connaught. 
With  the  exception  of  Richard  Burke,  called  Richard  of  the  Iron, 
or  Iron  Dick,  none  of  the  Connaught  chiefs  had  shown  any  active 
sympathy  with  the  Munster  rebels. 

In  February,  1580,  Malby  invaded  his  country  and  drove  him 
to  seek  safety  among  the  islands  in  Clew  Bay.  After  suffering  the 
most  terrible  privations,  Richard  of  the  Iron  submitted  to  the  garri- 
son at  Bunishoole  (Ibid  LXXII..  39).  During  the  siege  of  Carrig- 
foyle,  Malby  assisted  the  operations  of  the  lord  justice,  Sir  William 
Pelham  (q.  v.)  with  supplies  from  Connaught  (Cal.  Carew  M.  S.  S., 
II.,  238).  In  August  O'Rourke.  animated  by  the  expectation  of 
foreign  assistance,  rebelled  and  dismantled  the  castle  of  Leitrim. 
Malby  immediately  took  the  field  against  him,  repaired  and  garri- 
soned the  castle,  and  routed  the  rebels  (Ibid  II.,  297).  Then  hasten- 
ing to  Dublin  to  the  assistance  of  the  lord  deputy,  Arthur,  Lord  Grey 
of  Wilton  (q.  v.)  against  Baltinglas  and  Fra^h  MacHugh  O'Byrne 
(q.  V.)  he  witnessed  the  disastrous  defeat  of  the  English  forces  at 
Glenmalure  (State  Papers,  Ireland,  Eliz.  LXXY.,  79,  82).  But 
the  news  that  O'Rourke  was  again  in  arms  compelled  him,  in  spite 
of  ill-health,  to  return  at  once  to  Connaught  (Ibid  LXXVL,  15  ;  Cal. 
Carew  M.  S.  S..  II.,  3T0).  To  those  who  complained  that  he  used 
the  sword  too  sharply  in  his  government,  he  replied  that  if  the  queen 
did  not  use  it  more  sharply  she  would  lose  both  sword  and  realm 
(Ibid  II..  314).  O'Rourke  fled  at  his  approach  (State  Papers,  Ire- 
land, Eliz.  LXXVIL,  54)  but  a  new  dano-er  instantly  presented  it- 
self in  the  rebellion  of  lohn  and  Ulick  Burke,  who,  at  the  instigation 


AIALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  105 

of  the  catholic  bishop  of  Kihnacduagls.  had  proclaimed  a  religious 
war.  and  were  making  wild  efiforts  to  relieve  the  Spaniards  at  Lim- 
erick (Ibid  LXXVIIL.  41). 

Even  after  the  capture  of  Limerick  the  situation  was  sufficiently 
alarming  to  cause  Grey  to  send  reinforcements  to  Malby  (Ibid 
LXXVIIL,  59)  but  by  the  end  of  January,  1581,  the  latter  an- 
nounced that  he  had  been  so  far  successful  against  the  rebels  that 
they  dare  not  look  abroad,  but,  like  wild  wolves,  keep  to  the  woods 
and  mountains.  O'Rourke,  as  usual,  took  advantage  of  the  situa- 
tion, and  invaded  Roscommon,  but  Malby  sent  Captain  Brabazon 
against  him,  and  O'Rourke  at  once  sued  for  peace  (Cal  Carew  M.  S. 
S.,  II.,  320).  Toward  the  end  of  February  a  body  of  six  hundred 
Scots  invaded  the  province  to  co-operate  with  the  Burkes,  but  Malby 
had  timely  notice  of  the  arrival  and  before  the  latter  could  join 
them  he  attacked  them,  and  after  killing  a  number  of  them,  drove 
them  across  the  Moy.  At  Strade  Abbey,  in  the  county  Mayo,  he 
decided  a  controversy  between  Richard  of  the  Iron  Burke  and 
Richard  MacOliver,  allowing  the  title  of  MacWilliam  to  the  former, 
and  making  the  latter  the  sheriff  of  the  county  of  Mayo.  (See 
Malbv's  graphic  description  of  his  journey  in  State  Papers,  Ireland, 
Eliz.  "LXXXL,  421  ;  and  also  in  Colton  M.  S.  S.,  Titus,  B.  XIII.  ff. 
320-5.) 

Important  as  were  his  services,  it  was  grievous.  Grey  com- 
plained, to  see  good  Sir  Nicholas  Alalby  so  thanklessly  used  (State 
Papers  Ireland,  Eliz.  LXXXIL,  48).  He  was  anxious  to  lay  his 
case  before  the  Queen  personally,  and  in  May  he  agreed  to  a  short 
peace  with  the  Burkes  (Ibid  LXXXVIIL,  10)  but  on  the  outbreak 
of  hostilities  between  Turlough  Linneach  O'Neill  and  Sir  Hugh 
O'Donnell  in  July,  he  was  ordered  to  the  assistance  of  the  latter. 
He  marched  as  far  as  Lifford,  and  having  destroyed  the  town, 
effected  a  junction  with  the  lord  deputy  (Ibid  LXXXV.,  47;  Annals 
of  Loch  Ce  LL.,  441).  Towards  the  close  of  November  he  went 
to  England  to  report  on  the  general  situation  of  affairs  in  Ireland. 
But,  so  far  as  he  was  personally  concerned,  his  visit  was  not  suc- 
cessful. His  enemies  charged  him  with  violent,  tyrannical  and  cor- 
rupt conduct  in  his  administration,  and  Elizabeth  showed  a  dis- 
position to  listen  to  the  charge.  He  returned  to  Ireland  on  21  May, 
1582.  and  was  warmly  welcomed  by  his  brother  officers.  During 
his  absence  Connaught,  except  for  some  slight  disturbance,  created 
by  MacWilliam,  had  remained  tranquil.  Early  in  July,  however. 
Con  O'Donnell,  at  the  instigation  of  Turlough  Linneach,  invaded 
Sligo.  Malby  complained  that  the  order  forbidding  him  to  raise 
men  by  cessing  them  on  the  country  rendered  him  powerless  to  meet 


106  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

this  danger.  But  O'Conor  Sligo  behaved  weh,  and  at  Malby's  ap- 
proach O'Donnell  decamped  in  such  haste  that  some  of  his  men 
were  drowned  in  crossing  the  Erne  (State  Papers,  Ireland,  EHz. 
XCIV.,  15-20-32). 

After  this  nothing  occurred  during  his  Hfetime  to  disturb  the 
peace  of  his  government. 

The  fear  of  Malby,  wrote  Bonraby  Gooche  to  Burghley  in 
March,  1583,  keeps  all  in  good  order,  his  "common  dalliance"  is 
"veni,  vidi,  vici."      (Ibid  C,   14.) 

But  he  was  deeply  wounded  by  Elizabeth's  neglect.  His  dis- 
grace and  his  debts,  he  declared,  would  kill  him.  His  constitution, 
naturally  robust,  had  been  undermined  by  rough  service,  and  on  4 
March,  1584,  he  died  at  Athlone.  (Ibid  CIX.>  6.)  "There  came 
not  to  Erin  in  his  own  time,  nor  often  before,  a  better  gentleman 
of  the  Foreigners  than  he,  and  he  placed  all  Connaught  under  bond- 
age .  .  .  and  executed  many  works,  especially  in  the  courts  of 
the  towns  of  Athlone  and  Roscommon."  (  Annals  of  Loch  Ce,  II., 
459.)  "He  was  a  man  learned  in  the  languages  and  tongues  of  the 
islands  of  the  west  of  Europe,  a  brave  and  victorious  man  in  battles." 
(Annals  of  the  Four  Masters,  S.  A.  1584.)  His  official  letters,  re- 
markable for  their  vigorous  and  graphic  style,  fully  confirm  this 
reputation. 

Alalby  married  Thomasine,  daughter  of  Robert  Lamb  of  Leeds, 
whose  wife  was  a  Castell  of  the  Castells  of  East  Hatley  in  Cam- 
bridgeshire (State  Papers,  Ireland,  Eliz.  XCL,  59).  By  her  he  had 
a  son  Henry,  who  succeeded  him,  and  married  Elizabeth,  grand- 
daughter of  Sir  Francis  Jobson,  lieutenant  of  the  tower,  and  was 
killed  apparently  in  November  1602,  while  serving  in  Connaught. 
and  a  daughter,  Ursula,  who  was  married  to  Anthony  Brabazon 
(Irish  Pedigrees,  Harl.  M.  S.  1425,  f.  157).  Lady  Malby  subse- 
quently married  one  George  Rawe.

MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  107 

A  descendant  writes  that  some  }'ears  ago  she  read  in  a  news- 
paper under  the  EngHsh  correspondence  that  Dilhon,  the  great  Irish 
leader,  was  to  speak  at  Great  Alaltby — suggesting  that  there  were 
tw^o  towns  of  Maltby.  Possibly  Great  ]\Ialtby  is  in  Ireland.  North- 
west of  Limerick  the  map  of  Ireland  shows  ]\Ial  Bay.  This  may 
have  been  so  named  long  before  Sir  Nicholas  ]\Ialby  was  born,  but 
il  would  be  interesting  to  know  certainly,  as  it  seems  not  unlikely 
the  bay  was  named  for  Sir  Nicholas. 

SIR  NICHOLAS  ^lALBY 

The  following  account  is  taken  from  "Annals  of  the  Four 
Masters,"  A.  D.  1584: 

"Sir  Nicholas  Malby,  governor  of  the  province  of  Connaught, 
died  in  Athlone,  about  Shrovetide ;  he  w^as  a  man  learned  in 
languages  and  the  tongues  of  the  islands  of  Western  Europe,  a 
valiant  and  battle-triumphant  man,  throughout  Ireland,  Scotland 
and  France,  in  the  service  of  his  Sovereign  and  that  was  a  profit- 
able service  for  him,  for  he  received  a  suitable  payment  from  the 
Queen,  the  Governorship  of  the  Province  of  Connaught  for  seven 
years  before  his  death,  with  Roscommon  and  Beal-atha-na-Sleiaig- 
headh  (Ballinasloe  in  Gal  way)  in  perpetuity  to  himself  and  his  heirs 
in  succession :  but,  however,  it  was  from  the  sons  of  the  Earl  of 
Clarvickard  he  first  procured  Ballinasloe." 

Note. — A  third  account  of  Sir  Nicholas  Malby  and  Malbys  connected 
with  Ireland,  follows.  It  is  compiled  from  miscellaneous  notes  gathered  by 
the  author. 

SIR  NICHOLAS  ^lALBY 
Yorkshire — Ireland 

Arms:  Malby  (Sir  Nicholas,  chief  commissioner  of  Connaught, 
knighted  at  Athlone,  Ireland,  by  Sir  Henry  Sidney,  lord  deputy  of 
Ireland,  7  October,  1576.)  Argent,  on  a  bend  between  two  cotises 
gules  three  garbs  or.  (Burke's  General  Armory.)  See  under  Maltl)y 
Heraldry. 

It  is  quite  evident  from  these  arms  that  Sir  Nicholas  ]\Ialby  believed 
himself  to  be  descended  from  the  Maltbys  of  Cleveland,  Yorkshire.  The 
name  of  his  father  is  not  known.  Sir  Nicholas  wrote  that,  his  father  died 
when  he  was  four  years  old.  The  Diet,  of  Nat.  Biog.  states  :  "Malby  was 
born  probably  about  1530."  It  has  seemed  not  unlikely  to  the  compiler  that 
he  is  the  Nicholas  Malby  mentioned  in  the  will  of  John  Maltby,  17  JNIay. 
1532.     (See  under  that  date.)      In  any  case  it  is  worth  noting.

Of  his  early  life  we  know  nothing.    The  first  record  found  con- 
cerning Nicholas  :\lalbv  is  in  1562  (Domestic  Papers,  p.  206).     It 
reads :

ing. What  Lok  can  sell  he  does,  but  pays  no  man  a  penny.  All 
things  should  be  sold  out  of  hand,  that  Lok  might  bring  in  his 
"rear  accounts"  and  be  discharged.  One  page  Indorsed,  20 
March.  1579,  with  abstract.  (Domestic  Eliz.  \'ol.  CXXX.,  No. 
10.     Cal.  p.  620.) 

Note. — Sir  Nicholas  Alalby  was  evidently  in  England  at  this  time,  as 
the  Diet.  Nat.  Biog.  states  that,  "  in  the  autumn  of  1578  he  repaired  to  Eng- 
land, returning  to  Ireland  in  May.  1579,  with  the  higher  title  of  President 
of  Connaught."  The  Gabriel  is,  very  evidently,  a  ship;  "these  men"  may 
have  been  sailors  or  soldiers. 

1580.  Oct.  25.  Athlone,  Ireland.  Sir  Nicholas  jMalbie  writes  to 
Walsingham  that  his  brother  John  may  be  sent  over  with  charge 
of  soldiers. 

Note. — See  Diet.  Nat.  Biog.  "Even  after  the  capture  of  Limerick,  the 
situation  was  sufficiently  alarming  to  cause  Grey  to  send  reinforcements  to 
Malby."  Query.  Does  this  "brother  John"  refer  to  a  brother  of  Sir  Nicholas 
or  to  a  brother  of  Walsingham's?  If,  as  it  would  appear,  it  refers  to  John, 
a  brother  of  Sir  Nicholas,  this  would  be  additional  proof  that  they  were 
sons  of  the  John  Alaltby  who  made  his  will  in  May,  1532.  That  Sir  Nicholas 
had  a  brother  we  know.     See  under  date  May,  1582.

Query:  Does  this  refer  to  a  brother  of  Sir  Nicholas,  or  to  his  own 
brother?  Evidently  the  latter,  as  he  would  hardly  write  expressing  sorrow 
for  the  misdeeds  of  Sir  Nicholas'  brother.

1582.  Vol.  XCI.,  Irish  State  Papers,  anno  1582,  April  30,  has  a 
paper  giving  names  of  certain  persons  to  be  examined  touching 
Sir  Nicholas  Malbie.  On  this  paper  is  a  pedigree  of  Sir 
Nicholas  Malby  by  Durgley,  showing  connection  by  marriage 
with  Robert  Lamb  of  Leeds  and  Robert  Castell  of  East  Hatley, 
near  Potton  in  Cambridgeshire. 

Note. — A  copy  of  this  pedigree  was  made  at  the  British  Museum  by  a 
friend,  and  as  the  ancient  handwriting  is  practically  undecipherable  by  all 
but  an  expert,  a  translation  was  added;  this  may  not  be  entirely  correct,  but 
is  given  here  as  it  was  transcribed.

Note. — Was  this  John,  brother  of  Sir  Nicholas?  See  under  date  1590. 
This  note  is  interesting  as  it  contains  the  names  of  three  well  known  emi- 
grant families  to  New  England.  John   3ilaltby  of   Alilford  and   New   Haven; 

Francis  Brown,  John  being  a  family  given  name,  and  Robert  Fowler  of .

Query :  Is  this  Capt.  John,  brother  of  Sir  Nicholas,  or  is  it  his  son, 
Capt.  Henry?  Probably  his  son,  as  in  1603.  a  brother  of  Sir  Nicholas  would 
have  been  very  old.    This  item  is  from  Cal  State  Papers.

1640.  II  May.  Petition  of  John  Poulett  and  Sarah,  his  wife,  sister 
and  heiress  to  Sir  George  Maltby,  Kt.,  dec.  to  the  King.  Queen 
Elizabeth  gave  to  Sir  Nicholas  Maltby,  petitioner's  grandfather, 
in  lieu  of  his  services  in  reducing  Connaught,  the  Manor  of  Ros- 
common in  the  said  province.  It  descended  to  his  son,  Captain 
Henry  Maltby,  petitioner's  father,  who  was  slain  in  the  service 
of  the  Crown  in  1602;  and  then  to  her  brother,  Sir  George 
Maltby,  who  mortgaged  it  to  Viscount  Ranelagh,  with  right  of 
redemption ;  but  when  Sir  George  had  secured  means  to  redeem 
it,  Lord  Ranelagh  refused  to  reconvey  the  lands ;  the  said  Sir 
George  coming  to  England  to  sue  for  relief  was  unjustly  im- 
prisoned by  one  Luke  Nightengale  and  died  in  great  misery  in 
the  Fleet.  Lord  Ranelagh  still  refuses  endeavors  to  obtain  a 
grant  for  his  Majesty  to  establish  his  possessions  by  which  pe- 
titioners will  not  only  be  disinherited,  but  utterly  ruinated.  They 
pray  that  the  Lord  Lieutenant  may  call  Lord  Ranelagh  before 
them.  Also  that  Lord  Ranelagh  grant  may  be  stayed.  Reference 
to  the  Lord  Lieutenant  and  order  for  stay  of  grant.  (Printed 
State  Papers,  p.  749.)

Ireland,   1660-1662,  edit,  by  Mahaffy.) 

This  note  is  of  interest,  being  a  Samuel  Maltby  contemporary  with  the 
emigrant  William  Maltby  who  named  a  son  Samuel  Maltby.  Also  the  con- 
nection in  Ireland  is  worthy  of  note,  as  he  may  have  been  descended  from 
John   Malby,  brother  of  Sir  Nicholas.

common property  was  granted  to  Edmond  Middop.     The  inter-

Repudiated  in  1665.     (Vide  p.  600,  Cal.  State  Papers.  Ireland, 
1663-65,  edit.  Mahaffy.) 
It  would  be  of  great  interest  to  know  to  just  what  this  reference 
refers,  as  1663-65  is  the  date  at  which  we  first  find  John  Maltby, 
the  emigrant,  in  New  England,  leaving  a  tradition  of  "confiscated 
lands,  an  ancestor  (i.e.,  prob.  relative),  a  captain  in  wars  for  and 
against  the  crown,"  the  usual  mixed  up  tradition ;  one  being  that, 
"the  family  were  almost  royal."     It  is  very  evident  that  the  New 
England  Maltby s  were  not  descendants  of  Sir  Nicholas,  but  it  may 
be  that  they  were  distantly  related.     Could  it  be  that  they  believed 
themselves  co-heirs  to  the   above   estate,   even   though   not   closely 
related. 

The  Peerage  of  Ireland  by  Lodge,  Vol.  4,  p.  234,  says  "and 
left  Sir  Nicholas  Malby,  Gov.  of  Connaught,  possessed  of  the  house 
of  Roscommon  and  Athlone." 

O'Hart's  Irish  Pedigree,  Imolments  of  the  Diocese  of  Innocents, 
gives  "James  Malby,"  no  date. 

1818,     I  Sept.  "Lady  Morgan   ( au  authoress)   visted  her  relatives. 

Sir  Maltby  and  Lady  Crofton  at  their  country  home  in  Sligo." 

In  connection  with  the  above  newspaper  clipping,   it  may  be 

well  to  give  the  following  pedigree  from  Harleian  Soc.  Pub..  1903, 

p.  690.    Lincolnshire  Visit. :

There  is  a  space  of  two  hundred  years  between  this  luarriage 
of  Richard  Morgan  and  Margaret  Maltby,  to  Lady  Morgan  who 
visited  Sir  Maltby  and  Lady  Crofton,  yet  it  is  of  interest  as  the 
genealogist  finds  that  of  a  truth  history  repeats  itself,  and  where 
cue  family  intermarries  with  another  in  the  course  of  a  few  genera- 
tions, another  intermarriage  occurs  between  descendants,  who  are 
distant  cousins. 

The  following  references  are  of  interest  in  connection  with  these 
Irish  notes:  pp.  690-694,  Families  in  Ireland  at  the  close  of  the  17th

century.  Irish  PedigTees  by  O'Hart,  Vol.  II.,  has  this  statement: 
"According  to  the  M.  S.  Vols.  F-3,  23;  F-3,  27,  and  F-4,  18,  in 
Trinity  College,  Dublin,  the  families  mentioned  in  this  section  were 
among  the  principal  families  in  Ireland  at  the  close  of  the  17th 
century.  The  reader  will  find  in  each  of  these  three  volumes  much 
information  in  relation  to  the  genealogies  of  the  Anglo-Irish  fam- 
ilies who  settled  in  Ireland  since  the  English  invasion,  which  are  not 
given  in  this  work."  Then  follows  the  various  families  by  name ; 
that  of  Malby  is  given  on  page  694. 

It  would  be  of  immense  value  could  the  manuscripts  referred 
to  be  examined,  as  here  might  be  found  a  clue  to  the  immediate 
family  of  Sir  Nicholas  Aialby. 

in  Bagwell's  Ireland,  the  Index  gives:  "MALTBY,  Captain, 
afterwards  Sir  Xicholas,"  and  on  page  129:  "Piers  and  Maltby  at 
Carrick-fergus  pleaded  that  they  had  neither  ships  nor  men  to 
guard  thirty  miles  of  coast  night  and  day"  ;  also  page  132.  On  page 
2;^^  we  find:  "Maltby,  a  man  of  ability  and  discretion."  Page  245 
states :  "great  praise  is  due  to  Captain  Piers  and  Captain  Maltby  for 
their  ability  and  diligence."  Again  we  find,  p.  93  :  "Maltby  refused 
ii,ooo  for  the  prisoner's  life,  and  a  like  sum  for  that  of  Tirlogh 
O'Brien,  a  noted  rebel." 

Note. — i2,000  was  a  considerable  fortune  in  the  time  of  Sir  Nicholas 
Malby. 

The  Brabazon  pedigree  is  here  given  as  it  shows  the  sort  of 
families  with  whom  the  Sir  Nicholas  branch  intermarried.  The 
pedigree  is  from  O'Hart's  Irish  Pedigrees,  Vol.  II.,  p.  66:

XoTE. — The  record  concerning  Sir  Nicholas  ]Malby  in  1562  has  "qr.  of 
London,"  after  his  name.  I  am  not  sure  whether  this  query  was  in  the 
original  record  or  if  it  was  added  by  the  friend  who  sent  the  copy  of  the 
record.  Appended  are  the  few  stray  early  notes  of  Maltbys  in  any  way  con- 
nected with  Ireland.

branch  of  the  family,  but  there  was  not  sufficient  time  to  obtain 

records   from   Ireland,   consequently   we  can  only  print  what  data 

]\Ir.  William  H.   Maultby  had  available. 

MAULTBY 

CORK,   IRELAND 

Tradition :  "Forefathers  went  to  Ireland  with  Oliver  Crom- 
well's armv,  1649- 1650."  Xote — This  ancestor  ma\-  very  possibly 
have  been  Samuel  ^laltby,  who  served  in  the  Army  in  Ireland 
since  1649.     See  under  that  date. 

1.  Arthur  Warner  ]\Iaultby  resided  in  Cork,  Ireland.  He  was  an 
inspector  of  merchandise  shipped  from  the  city  of  Cork.  It 
is  an  office,  or  appointment,  from  the  British  Crown.  After 
his  death.  Henry  Maultby  (a  cousin  of  William  H.  Maultby 
who  furnished  these  records)  received  the  appointment  and 
was  holding  the  office  a  few  years  ago,  and  very  probably  is 
still  doing  so. 

Children  6f  Arthur  Warner  Maultby  were:  Joseph,  Wil- 
liam H.  (emigrated  about  1831-32),  John.  Peter,  Arthur  War- 
ner and  Henrv. 

2.  William  H.  ^Niaultby.  emigrated  to  the  States  about  1831-2. 
He  went  first  to  A'ermont  (probably  to  Washington  County). 
Shortly  after  1835  he  removed  to  Landsingburg.  Renssellear 
County.  N.  Y..  and  later  moved  to  Sheboygan  County,  Mich. 
He  was  prominent  in  the  county,  being  one  of  the  chief  or- 
ganizers and  held  the  office  of  County  Clerk  and  also  that  of 
Judge  of  Probate. 

John  (2)  Maultby,  brother  of  the  above,  emigrated  to  the 
States    about    1840.      He    resided    in    Landsingburg    with    his 


116  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

brother,  William  H,,  for  a  while.     He  died  at  Waterford,  Al- 
bany County,  N.  Y. 

Peter  (2)  Maultby,  another  brother,  emigrated  about  1840 
( ?).  Resided  at  Landsingburg  for  a  time.  Removed  to  Boon- 
ville,  Mo.,  about  1842  and  married  there.  Later  he  went  to 
Kickapoo,  Kansas. 

2.  Arthur  Warner  (2)  Maultby,  emigrated  to  the  States  about 
1834.  He  resided  in  Vermont  with  his  brother  William  H. 
]\Iaultby,  for  a  short  while,  then  removed  to  Landsingburg. 
Rensselear  County,  N.  Y.  Here  he  met  an  English  lady  from 
near  Ipswich,  Eng.,  Mary  Ann  Scace,  and  married  her.  Both 
died  some  years  ago.     Their  son  is : 

3.  William  H.  Maultby,  b.  Aug.  i,  1838.  at  Landsingburg.  About 
the  year  1840  they  removed  to  Highland  on  the  Hudson.  Pres- 
ent address  is :  Grand  Valley,  Pennsylvania. 

(Query:    Were  John  and  William  Maltby  the  emigrants  men- 
tioned by  Senator  Malby  of  New  York?     See  Pedigree  XXHL")

The  compiler  has  given  no  coat-of-arms  to  this  branch  of  the 
family,  for  the  reason  that  no  proof  has  been  found  of  a  title  to  a 
coat-of-arms.  However,  it  may  be  as  well  to  state  here  that  in  all 
the  various  branches  of  the  American  descendants  the  coat-of-arms 
of  the  Yorkshire  Maltbys  has  been  handed  down,  and  in  the  Inven- 
tory of  the  estate  of  Samuel  Maltby  (2),  son  of  the  emigrant  Wil- 
liam Maltby,  is  found  the  mention  of  a  "coat-of-arms."  Various 
mottoes  are  used :  "Virtus  sub  pondere  crescit,"  being  that  used  by 
the  descendants  of  Col.  Stephen  (4)  ]\Ialtby  and  the  descendants 
of  his  older  brother.  Gen.  Isaac  (4)  use  "Quod  serveus  metes."

Tlie  arms  used  by  this  branch  of  the  Maltby  family  are :  Argent, 
on  a  bend  gules,  three  garbs  or.    Motto:  "Praesto  et  Persisto."    Mr. 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  125 

Brough  Alaltby  has  a  fine  old  seal  bearing  the  above  arms,  which  has 
come  down  to  him  from  many  generations  of  ancestors,  ]Mr.  Brough 
Maltby  being  the  head  of  his  House  of  Maltby. 

While  in  London  some  years  ago  the  compiler  had  the  pleasure 
of  meeting  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Maltby  and  their  son,  Brough  Maltby, 
junior,  and  seing  some  fine  old  ancestral  portraits  both  of  the  Malt- 
bys  and  Broughs  which  hang  in  his  dining  room  and  along  the 
stairway.  The  portraits  of  those  with  Maltby  blood  are  instantly 
recognizable  by  the  resemblance  borne  to  the  Maltbys  of  this  pres- 
ent time. 

We  give  at  some  length  an  account  of  Bishop  Edward  Maltby, 
who  was  of  this  family  and  it  has  seemed  fitting  to  include  a  short 
genealogy  of  this  branch  of  the  family.  The  bulk  of  the  material 
was  compiled  by  Edwin  Mortimer  Blake  of  the  University  of 
Arizona,  Tucson,  Arizona,  x\ugust  19,  1907,  and  now  of  New  York 
City.  ]Mr.  Blake's  wife  is  a  descendant  of  William  ]\Ialtby  of  Orston. 
Various  items  have  been  added  by  the  present  compiler,  many  of 
them  being  records  copied  from  the  Shelton  Registers  by  Mr.  E.  C. 
Harte.  Some  have  been  furnished  by  descendants  or  ferrited  out 
personally,  and  whereas  still  far  from  a  complete  record  of  the 
family  it  is  a  very  valuable  record.  I  have  taken  the  liberty  of 
changing  Mr.  Blake's  lettering  of  generations,  in  order  to  conform 
as  far  as  possible  to  the  same  style  used  in  all  the  pedigrees  given 
in  this  book.

Maltby  of  Orston.  See  under  date  1639  and  observe  the  names  of 
the  children.)  In  1670  we  find  Ezekiel  Diglyn,  parson  of  Orston, 
speaking  of  "William  Maltby,  the  elder,  of  Orston."  This  may 
mean  that  he  was  the  father  of  William,  b.  1641,  or  it  mav  onlv 
refer  to  him  as  of  an  older  generation. 

The  record  of  William  Maltby's  death  reads:  "1718,  at  Ors-

count is  from  the  Dictionary  of  National  Biography,  Vol.  XXXV., 
p.  442 : 

IV.  45.  ELIZABETH  Maltby,  b.  — ;  m.  Sir  George  Prety- 
man  Tomline.  For  a  full  account  of  Sir  George  see  Vol.  LVII.,  p. 
14,  Nat.  ®og.  Diet.  Sir  George  Pretyman.  b.  Oct.  9,  1750;  d. 
Nov.  14,  1827,  was  the  son  of  George  Pretyman  of  Bury  St.  Ed- 
munds, and  his  w..  Susan,  dau.  of  John  Hubbard.  His  father  was 
from  an  old  Suffolk  family.  In  1784.  Sir  George  m.  Elizabeth, 
eldest  dau.  and  co-heiress  of  Thomas  Maltby  of  Gennans,  Buck- 
inghamshire. Elizabeth  Maltby,  w.  of  Sir  George,  "was  a  woman 
of  considerable  ability  and  character,  who  was  informed  and  con- 
sulted by  her  husband  on  all  important  political  matters  in  which 
he  was  engaged."  There  is  a  portrait  of  Tomline.  by  J.  Jackson,  now 
in  possession  of  Captain  Pretyman  of  Rigby  Hall.  Lincolnshire,  and 
an  engraving  by  H.  Meyer  in  the  Gentleman's  Magazine,  1899.  A 
leter  from  Captain  Pretyman  to  the  compiler  states  that  he  has  no 
further  Maltby  records  other  than  those  we  already  have.  He 
mentions  owning  an  old  print  which  he  believes  to  be  a  portrait  of 
Miss  Maltby,  sister  of  Elizabeth  ]\Ialtby,  who  was  his  great-grand- 
mother. It  would  be  interesting  to  secure  a  copy  of  this  old  print. 
The  children  of  Sir  George  and  Elizabeth  Maltby  were : 

V.     70.  William"  (5)   Edward  Tomline,' M.  P.  for  Truro. 
V.     71.  George     (5)     Thomas    Pretyman.    chancellor    of 

Lincoln  and  prebendary  of  Winchester. 
V.     /2.  Richard   (5)    Pretyman,  precenter  of  Lincoln. 

Note. — Burke's  Landed  Gentr.v,  supplement,  Vol.  III.,  p.  85,  is  in  error 
when  it  states  that,  "Elizabeth  Maltby  m.  Edward  Tomline,  D.D.,  Bishop  of 
Lincoln  and  Winchester,"  as  this  was  her  son. 

William  Maltry — Bibliographer — 1763- 1854 

"Maltby.  William  (  1763-1854)  bibliographer,  b.  in  London,  on 
17  January,  1763,  was  the  youngest  of  the  ten  children  of  Brou^h 
Maltby.  a  wholesale  draper  of  Mansion  House  Street.  Edward 
Maltby  (q.  v.),  the  Bishop  of  Durham,  was  his  cousin.  He  was 
educated  under  the  Rev.  James  Pickbourne  at  Hackney  and  there 
formed  a  life-long  acquaintance  with  Samuel  Rogers,  a  fellow  pupil. 


132  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

He  was  the  youthful  companion  of  Rogers  in  his  assault  upon  Dr. 
Johnson's  knocker  in  Bolt  Court,  and  shared  his  terror  stricken 
flight  before  the  great  man's  door  could  be  opened.  He  proceeded 
to  Gouville  and  Cains  College,  Cambridge,  but  being  a  dissenter 
did  not  take  a  degree. 

He  practiced  law  as  a  solicitor  for  several  years  in  connection 
with  his  elder  brother,  Rowland  Maltby,  formerly  clerk  of  the 
Fishmongers'  Company.  On  23  June,  1787,  he  was  called  to  the 
bar  at  Gray's  Inn.  His  tastes  were,  however,  literary,  and  on  the 
death  of  Professor  Porson  in  1808,  he  succeeded  him  as  principal 
librarian  of  the  London  Institution  on  i  February,  1809.  Here  he 
was  the  means  of  making  large  additions  to  the  library,  more  espe- 
cially in  the  bibliographical  department.  He  had  an  extraordinary 
memory,  knowledge  of  books  and  facility  of  quotation  from  classical 
and  English  literature.  He  twice  superintended  the  removal  of  the 
books  and  twice  directed  their  rearrangement,  viz.,  in  181 1,  from  Sir 
Robert  Clayton's  house  in  the  Old  Jewry  to  King's  Yard,  Coleman 
Street,  and  in  1818  to  11  Finsbury  Circus.  He  assisted  in  the  com- 
pilation of  the  original  catalogue,  as  well  as  in  the  first  volume  of 
a  new  edition.  In  1834.  he  was  superannuated  from  active  duty,  but 
was  allowed  the  use  of  his  apartments.  He  died  at  the  London  In- 
stitution on  5  January,  1854.  and  was  buried  in  Norwood  cemetery, 
where  a  tablet  was  erected  to  his  memory  by  his  old  friend  Rogers. 

Maltby  contributed  to  "Recollections  of  the  Table  Talk  of  Sam- 
uel Rogers,"  by  the  Rev.  A.  Dyee,  1856,  an  appendix  entitled  "Por- 
soniana,"  pp.  295-334.  Times,  11  Jan.,  1854.  p.  8;  Gent.  Mag., 
1854,  pt.  I.,  pp.  209-210;  Clayden's  Early  Life  of  Samuel  Rogers, 
and  Rogers  and  His  Contemporaries.)  G.  C.  B. 

IV.  46.  HARRIET  (4)  Maltby,  b.  1763.  According  to 
Burke's  Landed  Gentry,  Vol.  III.,  p.  85.  Harriet  Maltby  was  a  sister 
and  co-heiress  of  Elizabeth  (4)  and  the  reference  states  she  "was 
living  at  Bath  in  1847."  This  Miss  Harriet  Maltby  is  evidently  the 
lady  whose  portrait  Captain  Pretyman  owns.  In  "Modern  English 
Biography,"  Boase,  Vol.  II.,  IV.,  is  given  the  following  item: 
"Maltby,  Mrs.  Harriet,  b.  1763;  a  friend  of  W.  Wilberforce.  W. 
Pitt.  Hannah  More  and  other  celebrities ;  a  large  contributor  to 
the  Bath  charities.  Died  Royal  Crescent.  Bath,  Dec,  1852."  It  is 
evident  that  this  item  shuld  read  Miss  and  not  Mrs.  Maltbv. 

IV.     48.  THOMAS  (4)  Maltby.  b.  July  10,  1763. 

Note. — The  following  record  I  am  not  sure  of.  The  Thomas  (5)  Maltby 
whose  record  I  give,  was  a  nepheiv  of  Bishop  Edward  Maltby,  and  from  the 
names  I  have  placed  him  as  a  son  of  Thomas  (4),  though  it  is  quite  prob- 
able that  he  was  a  son  of  one  of  the  other  brothers.     However  we  give:

Farndon,  was  dedicated  at  Southwell  Cathedral.  There  are  already 
three  stained  glass  windows  in  memory  of  other  members  of  the

In  concluding  these  genealogical  notes  of  the  Orston  Maltbys 
I  wish  to  acknowledge  the  help  given  by  Mr.  Edward  C.  Harte,  who 
kindly  copied  numerous  records  in  order  to  assist  in  compiling  a 
fairly  complete  record  of  this  family. 

What  few  early  records  we  have  from  Orston  are  given  below : 
1530.     Richard  Maltby  held,  A.  D.  1530..  one  ox  gang  of  land  in 

Orston,  of  Sir  Richard  Bozon,  Kt. 
1555.     March  10.  Robert  Maltbye  of  Orston.    Will  proved. 
1582.     John  Maltbie  m.  Elizabeth  Greaves. 

Hugh  Maltby  had  children : 
1584.     Anna  ]\Ialtby. 
1587.     Abigail  Maltby. 
1589.     Johannes  Maltby. 
1592.     Petrus  Maltby. 
1595.     Willmus  Maltby. 
1600.     Elizabeth  ]\Ialtby. 
1604.     Thomas  Maltby. 

SUPPLEMKNTARV    NoTES    PEDIGREE    XI. 

In  1670  Ann  Maltbie  and  Thomas  Wright  were  m.  at  Orston. 
(Query  :  Was  this  a  sister  of  William,  who  m.  Jane  Brough  in  1682?) 
It  will  be  noticed  that  he  names  a  daughter  Ann. 

Another  item  under  date  1670  speaks  of  "William  Maltby,  the 
elder,  of  Orston."  It  is  probable  that  this  is  the  father  of  William 
who  m.  Jane  Brough.  as  he  would  have  been  but  29  years  of  age 
in  1670,  and  he  could  hardly  have  been  the  person  alluded  to  as  ''the 
elder,"  though  of  course  it  is  quite  as  probable  that  "the  elder"  was  an 
uncle,  or  even  his  grandfather. 

In  1710  John  Alaltby  m.  Anne  Kirk  at  Orston.  She  d  1721. 
Their  children  seem  to  have  been : 

William  Maltby,  bapt.  April  25.  1714. 
Elizabeth  Alalt'by,  bapt.  Oct.  15.  1716.

MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  143 

George  ^laltby  (d.  Aug.,  1794,  ae.  64)  was  a  master  weaver  and 
deacon  of  the  Pres.  congregation  at  the  Octagon  chapel.  His  first 
cousin,  WilHam,  is  noticed  below. 

In  1779,  Maltby  entered  the  Norwich  grammar  school,  under 
Samuel  Parr  (q.v.)  ;  he  was  at  the  head  of  the  school  in  1785,  when 
Parr  resigned,  and  on  Parr's  advice  he  was  then  sent  to  Winchester, 
under  Joseph  Warton.  According  to  Taylor,  he  was  a  pupil  of 
William  Enfield  (q.v.)  at  Thorpe,  near  Norwich;  if  so,  it  must 
have  been  in  preparation  for  Winchester.  Bishop  Pretyman,  after- 
ward Tomline  (q.v.)  of  Lincoln,  who  had  m.  a  dau.  of  his  uncle. 
Thomas  Maltby,  entered  him  at  Pembroke  Hall,  Cambridge,  where 
he  had  a  distinguished  career. 

He  was  Brown's  medallist  for  epigrams  in  1790,  and  for  Greek 
ode  in  1790  and  1791.  In  the  latter  year  he  obtained  the  Craven 
scholarship  after  a  three  weeks'  contest.  In  1792,  he  was  chancellor's 
medallist  and  eighth  wrangler.  He  grad.  B.  A.,  1792;  M.  A.,  by 
royal  mandate,  1794;  B.  D.,  1801  ;  D.  D.,  1806. 

Pretyman  made  him  his  domestic  chaplain  and  gave  him  a  pre- 
bend at  Lincoln,  in  addition  to  the  vicarages  of  Buckden,  Hunting- 
donshire, Holbeach,  Lincolnshire,  and  Leighton  Buzzard,  Bedford- 
shire. A  letter  (19  July,  1817)  from  Parr  to  Canning,  recommend- 
ing him  as  preacher  at  Gray's  Inn,  speaks  of  his  Whig  politics  and 
his  advocacy  of  Catholic  emancipation,  and  describes  him  as  ''grave, 
unaffected  and  very  impressive"  in  the  pulpit. 

From  1824  to  1833,  he  was  preacher  at  Lincoln's  Inn.  In 
September  1831  he  was  made  Bishop  of  Chichester  and  was  trans- 
lated to  Durham  in  1836.  Before  his  appointment  the  palatinate 
jurisdiction  of  Durham  was  separated  from  the  episcopal  and  vested 
in  the  crown  (21  June,  1836). 

Maltby's  Greek  scholarship  is  conspicuous  in  many  of  his  ser- 
mons, but  is  best  known  by  his  useful  labors  in  connection  with 
Greek  prosody  and  metre.  At  Durham  he  heartily  entered  into  the 
scheme  for  the  Durham  University  (charter  granted  June,  1837),  to 
which  he  ultimately  left  his  valuable  library.  He  was  also  a  senator 
of  the  London  L^niversity,  and  a  fellow  of  the  Royal  and  Antiquarian 
societies. 

In  politics  and  in  educational  matters  his  views  were  of  the  old 
Whig  tvpe.  His  liberality  of  action  was  sometimes  misconstrued. 
In  1838  he  was  present  with  Bishop  Stanley  of  Norwich  at  the 
meeting  of  the  British  Association  in  Newcastle-on-Thyne.  While 
there,  both  Maltby  and  Stanley  subscribed  to  a  forthcoming  volume 
of  sermons  by  William  Turner  (1761-1859,  q.v.)  a  local  Unitarian 


144  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

divine.  The  appearance  of  the  subscription  Hst  excited  some  com- 
motion ;  pubhc  indignation  was  stirred  by  a  leader  in  the  "Times" 
and  it  is  said  that  Alaltby  was  burned  in  effigy.  Both  bishops  ex- 
plained the  matter  as  "a  personal  compliment,"  Stanley  adding  that 
his  subscription  was  private  and  the  use  of  his  name  unauthorized. 
Maltby's  explanatory  letter,  25  Oct.,  1838.  expresses  his  repugnance 
to  Unitarian  doctrine,  and  refers  to  the  existence  of  neutral  ground 
in  topics  of  practical  religion. 

Maltby  retained  the  charge  of  his  diocese  till  his  eighty-seventh 
year,  when  increasing  infirmities  made  him  anxious  to  be  relieved  of 
his  duties.  In  1856  a  special  act  of  parliament  (19  and  20  \''ict.  r. 
115)  provided  for  the  retirement  of  the  bishops  of  London  (Bloom- 
field)  and  Durham,  and  Maltby  immediately  resigned  on  a  pension 
of  ^4,500  a  year.  He  d.  in  his  ninetieth  year,  on  3  July,  1859,  at 
4  Upper  Portland  Place,  London.  His  portrait  painted  in  1832,  by 
Sir  William  Beechy  (q.v.)  is  at  Durham.  (According  to  this  state- 
ment Bishop  Maltby  was  sixty-two  years  of  age  when  this  portrait 
of  him  was  painted.) 

His  chief  classical  publication  was  "Lexicon  Graeco-prosodiacum 
.  .  .  correxit  .  .  .  auxit.  et  Graecis  vocibus  Latinam  versionem 
subjecit  Edw.  Maltby,"  Sc.  Cambridge,  181 5,  4to ;  2nd  edit.  1824,  4to. 
This  work  was  based  on  Thomas  Morell's  Thesawrus,"  Eton,  1762, 
4to.  An  abridgment  appeared  as  "A  New  and  Complete  Greek 
Gradus,"  Sc.  1830,  8vo;  2nd  edit.  1840,  8vo;  3rd  edit.,  edited  by 
John  Grabham,  1851,  8vo.  IMaltby  contributed  notes  on  Euripides 
to  Duncan's  edition,  Glasgow,  1821,  8vo ;  9  vols. 

Besides  single  sermons  (1806-35),  charges  (1835-53),  and 
tracts,  he  published:  i.  "Illustrations  of  the  Truth  of  the  Christian 
ReHgion,"  Cambridge,  1802,  8vo;  2nd  edit..  1803,  8vo  ;  3rd  edit,  1803,

In  the  Print  Room  at  the  British  Museum  Book  Plates  of  vari- 
ous members  of  the  Maltby  family  are  to  be  seen.  Whether  these 
are  registered  in  the  College  of  Arms  is  not  known  by  the  writer. 
There  are  two  Book  Plates  of  Edward  Maltby,  evidently  the  Bishop, 
as  follows : 

Edward  Maltby,  D.D.,  No.  19573. — Arg.  3  wheat  sheaves  on  a 
bend  gules,  quartering  Beaumont  (az.  a  lion  rampant  between  8 
fleur  de  lys)  and  impaling  Green  (or.  on  a  chief  indented  gules  3 
crescents).    Crest:  A  wheat  sheaf.     Motto:  Nil  sine  Lahore. 

The  other  plate  is:  Edward  Maltby,  D.D.,  F.R.S.,  F.S.A.— Arg. 
on  a  bend  gules  3  wheat  sheaves ;  a  lion  ramp,  in  sinister  chief  and 
a  cross  in  base  impaling  az.  3  harts  tripp ;  or.  for  Green.  Crest :  A 
wheat  sheaf  charged  with  a  cross  between  2  branches.  Motto :  Nil 
sine  labore. 

An  English  correspondent  who  was  kind  enough  to  furnish  the 
above  data  writes :  "From  these  I  gather  that  when  Edward  ]\Ialtby 
became  a  bishop  he  had  to  register  his  arms  at  the  Heralds'  College 
and  the  lion  represents  some  marriage  with  a  Beaumont  and  the 
cross  to  note  the  bishop — or  the  cross  may  have  reference  to  the 
Arms  of  Malby  of  Norfolk — and  evidently  he  had  not  impaled  the 
correct  arms  of  Green — implying  that  he  married  a  Miss  Green." 

According  to  genealogical  data  in  possession  of  the  secretary 
Edward  Maltby  m.  a  Miss  Harvey.  He  was  the  son  of  George  and 
Mary  (Fearman)  Alaltby,  grandson  of  Thomas  and  Elizabeth 
(Taylor)  ^Nlaltby  and  great-grandson  of  William  and  Jane 
(Brough)  Alaltby.  If  we  could  discover  in  what  way  he  was  re- 
lated to  the  Beaumonts  and  Greens  it  would  be  valuable  genealogical 
data. 

There  is  a  book  in  the  reference  room  at  the  Astor  Library 
which  contains  a  half  page  of  reading  matter  relative  to  the  above, 
the  substance  being  that  Edward  Maltby  made  application  to  the 
Heralds'  College,  London,  in  1829,  for  grant  of  arms,  and  mentions 
that  his  family  came  originally  from  Yorkshire.  He  undoubtedly 
knew  the  truth  of  this  statement,  but  very  probably  could  not  prove 
it.     Consequently  he  was  allowed  to  introduce  the  wheat  sheaves 


146  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

of  the  family  from  whom  he  claimed  descent,  the  coat-of-arms  being 
altered  to  show  that  the  descent  was  not  proved. 

Since  writing  the  above  sketch  of  Bishop  Maltby,  the  compiler  received 
the  desired  extract  from  the  Miscellanea  Genealogica  et  Heraldica.  Mr. 
Edwin  M.  Blake  was  so  very  kind  as  to  visit  the  Astor  Library  and  tran- 
scribe the  article,  so  we  could  publish  it  in  this  book. 

Extract  from  Miscellanea  Genealogica  et  Heroldica,  Series  II., 
Vol.  I.,  1886,  p.  81  :  "Grant  of  Arms  to  Rev.  Edward  Maltby,  D.D  ,

George  Mayler,  Knight  Garter  Principal  King  of  Arms,  and  Ralph

ing: Whereas,  the  Reverend  Edward  Maltby,  Doctor  of  Divinity, 
preacher  to  the  Society  of  Lincoln's  Inn,  son  of  George  Maltby, 
late  of  the  City  of  Norwich,  Esquire,  deceased,  hath  by  memorial 
represented  unto  the  most  noble  Bernard  Edward,  Duke  of  Norfolk, 
Earl  Marshall  and  Hereditary  Marshall  of  England,  that  his  an- 
cesters  were  seated  for  several  generations  in  the  county  of  Notting- 
ham and  according  to  the  tradition  preserved  in  his  family  derived 
their  descent  from  a  branch  of  the  ancient  family  of  Maltby  in  the 
county  of  York,  but  the  memorialists  being  prevented  by  the  defects 
of  the  family  evidence  from  aducing  strict  proof  of  such  descent 
and  being  unwilling  to  continue  the  use  of  the  armorial  ensigns 
hitherto  borne  by  him  without  unquestionable  authority.  He  there- 
fore requested  the  favor  of  his  Grace's  warrant  for  our  granting 
and  assigning  such  armorial  ensigns  as  may  be  proper  to  be  borne 
by  him  and  his  descendants  and  by  other  descendants  of  his  said  late 
father  with  due  and  proper  differences  according  to  the  Law  of 
Arms.  And  for  as  much  as  the  said  Earl  Marshall  did  by  warrant 
under  his  hand  and  seal  bearing  date  of  the  fourth  day  of  July 
instant,  authorize  and  direct  Us  to  grant  and  assign  such  armorial 
ensigns  accordin^jly  know  ye  therefore,  that  We  the  said  Garter  and 
Clauenceaux  in  pursuance  of  his  Grace's  warrant  and  by  virtue  of 
the  Letters  Patent  of  our  several  offices  to  each  of  us  respectively 
granted  under  the  Great  Seal  of  the  United  Kingdom  of  Great 
Britain  and  Ireland,  do  by  these  presents  grant  and  assign  unto 
the  said  Edward  Maltby  the  Arms  following,  that  is  to  say.  Argent 
on  a  bend  Gules  between  a  lion  rampant  in  chief  purpure  and  a 
cross  patee  in  base  of  the  second  three  garbs  or.  And  for  the  crest

gin  hereof  more  plainly  depicted  to  be  borne  and  used  forever  here- 
after by  him,  the  said  Edward  Maltby,  and  his  descendants,  and  by 
the  other  descendants  of  his  aforesaid  late  father,  with  due  and 
proper  differences  according  to  the  Laws  of  Arms. 

•'In  Witness  Whereof,  we,  the  said  Garter  and  Clarenceux, 
Kings  of  Arms,  have  to  these  presents  subscribed  our  names  and 
affixed  the  seals  of  our  several  offices,  this  ninth  day  of  July  in  the 
tenth  year  in  the  reign  of  our  Sovereign  Lord  George,  the  Fourth, 
by  the  Grace  of  God  of  the  United  Kingdom,  of  Great  Britain  and 
Ireland,  King,  Defender  of  the  Faith,  etc.,  and  in  the  year  of  our 
Lord  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and  twenty-nine. 

"GEORGE  MAYLER, 
"Garter  Principal  King  of  Arms. 

"RALPH  BIGLAND, 

"Clarenceux  King  of  Arms." 

This  grant  of  arms  makes  it  quite  plain  that  the  descendants  of 
Bishop  Maltby  are  entitled  to  bear  his  arms  and  also  that  the  de- 
scendants of  his  father,  George  Maltby,  Esq.,  are  entitled  to  bear 
similar  arms  "with  a  difference,"  etc. 

The  coat-of-arms  used  originally  by  Bishop  Maltby  and  his 
father,  George  Maltby,  Esq.,  was  in  all  probability  the  sheaves  of 
wheat  on  a  bend  gules  just  as  it  has  come  down  to  this  day  in  the 
line  of  Brough  Maltby,  Esq.  Mr.  Brough  Maltby  descends  from  the 
oldest  son  (who  had  issue)  of  William  and  Jane  Brough  Maltby, 
and  the  coat-of-arms  has  come  down  in  his  family  for  generations. 

Bishop  Maltby  unquestionably  knew  that  they  traced  back  to 
the  Yorkshire  family  of  Maltby  and  it  is  our  sincere  hope  that 
before  so  very  long  we  may  be  able  to  prove  the  truth  of  his  state- 
ment.

The  following  are  a  few  extracts  from  the  Alaulsby  Genealogy. 
It  is  difficult  to  figure  whether  the  notes  deal  with  the  above  William 
Maltby,  Quaker,  who  was  probably  b.  about  1660,  or  with  William 
Maltby  b.  in  1641.     The  items  are:

held  at  Rowland  Dabenney's  house."

Pedigree  XIII. 

Maltby  of  Scarborough,  Yorkshire 

Arms :  Quart,  or.  and  arg.  p  party  per   fess  indented.     Crest :   A 
Wyren.     Motto :  Fear  God  in  Life. 

This  coat  of  arms  has  been  in  the  family  for  many  generations 
and  was  always  presumed  to  be  a  Maltby  coat-of-arms.  A  corre- 
spondent in  England  writes :  "This  is  not  a  Maltby  coat-of-arms," 
and  goes  on  to  say,  "evidently  someone  fancies  he  descends  from 
the  Maultby  or  Maltby  who  married  a  Clavering.  If  this  surmise 
is  correct  and  he  can  prove  his  descent  from  Miss  Clavering  you 
have  struck  a  good  find.  The  Clavering  arms  being  similar ;  i.e., 
quart,  or.  and  gules  overall  a  band  ( or  bendlet)  sable." 

There  is  absolutely  no  question  of  this  branch  of  the  family 
fancying  they  descend  from  any  particular  person  or  branch  of  the 
family  tree,  and  indeed,  were  quite  unaware  of  any  Clavering  inter- 
marriage with  a  Maltby.  They  traced  their  ancestry  back  to  John 
Maltby,  b.  Sept.  12.  1712,  and  the  above  arms  were  in  the  family. 
Further  than  this  they  had  not  attem])ted  to  trace.  Through  the 
Maltby  Association  one  generation  back  has  recently  been  added. 

The  above  arms  are  extremely  interesting  as  it  would  in  fact 
seem  that  this  branch  of  the  family  descend  from  Sir  John  Mautby, 

*  This  name  Clayton  seems  ^vorth  noting  in  connection  with  tlie  fol- 
lowing: "William  Maltby  left  home  in  New  York  state,  after  unmerited 
punisliment.  He  was  finely  educated,  and  often  spoke  of  Rochester,  N.  Y. 
At  one  time  he  encountered  some  relatives  in  a  shop  in  Cincinnati,  but 
he  did  not  make  himself  known.  He  liad  a  sister  Mary,  for  when  his  oldest 
daugliter  was  born  he  wished  her  named  for  a  dear  sister.  He  named  liis 
other  children  Clayton,  George,  Ellen  and  Anna.  In  1S40  Mr.  Maltby  settled 
in  Madison  Ind.  He  taught  school  as  a  young  man;  was  a  Pres.  and  a 
great  abolitionist.  He  m.  in  1850  and  d.  in  1861."  For  years  we  have  tried 
to  connect  this  William  Maltby  with  the  New  England  Maltbys,  but  it 
would  almost  seem  he  was  connected  with  the  above  George  and  Clayton. 
It  may  be  that  Speaker  George  R.  Malby  of  New  York  is  of  this  same 
branch.     Any  suggestions  or  data   will   be   most   welcome.

IV.-A.  The  marriage  was  into  a  prominent  family,  and  it  is  quite 
easy  to  see  how  in  the  course  of  time  this  coat-of-arms  might  have 
got  to  be  regarded  as  a  Maltby  coat. 

PEdigrKE 

I.  I.  WILLIAM  Maltby  of  Scarborough,  Yorkshire;  m.  be- 
fore 1712.    He  had: 

II.  2.  JOHN  Maltby,  "bapt.  Sept.  5,  1712,  John,  son  to  Wm. 
Maltby."  (From  a  certified  record  made  by  Rev.  Cecil  Cooper, 
Vicar  and  Rural  Dean  of  Scarborough).  The  old  family  record 
gives  the  date  as  Sept.  12,  evidently  an  error.  He  m.  Mary  Dicken- 
son the  7th  day  of  August,  1738,  probably  at  Scarborough  as  their 
children  were  bapt.  there.  The  following  copy  of  the  Baptismal 
Register  of  the  Parish  of  Scarborough  (Baptisms)  are  transcribed 
verbatim  from  the  original  register  by  Cecil  H.  H.  Cooper,  Vicar

152  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

John  Maltby  evidently  died  between  1769  and  1775,  as  we  find: 
"Margaret,  wid.  of  John  Maltby,  m.  William  Robinson  at  Scar- 
borough and  had  children:  George  Robinson,  b.  Aug.  17,  1775; 
Mary  Robinson,  b.  July  2,  1777;  Isabella  Robinson,  b.  July  6,  1780. 

The  following  item  evidently  applies  to  the  above  John  Alaltby 
and  his  older  brother  William,  whose  line  is  not  carried  out :  A  let- 
ter dated  July  29th,  1883,  from  B.  Wilkinson  of  17  Elm  wood  Street. 
Durham  Road,  Sunderland,  to  R.  L.  Maltby,  Esq.,  states :  "Our 
son  has  a  nice  old  painting  of  two  ships  (that  I  suppose  would  be- 
long to  your  great,  great-grandfather)  sailing  from  Scarboro,  the 
birthplace  of  the  old,  old  Maltbys,  say  200  years  ago ;  the  names  of 
the  ships  are  on  the  back  of  the  picture.  They  are  bound  for  the 
Greenland  whale  fishery."  Mrs.  Orr  write:  "The  ships  spoken  of 
were  owned  by  a  John  and  William  Maltby."  (It  is  worth  noting 
that  in  the  inventory  of  the  estate  of  Daniel  (2)  Maltby  of  New 
England,  there  is  mention  of  "One  sealskin  chair."  Daniel  Maltby 
d.  in  1 73 1. 

This  John  Alaltby  moved  from  Scarborough,  Yorkshire  to 
Sunderland,  Durham  Co.,  and  taught  school  there  for  years.  Lieut. 
Col.  Richard  Leighton  Maltby  has  an  account  book  of  his  dating 
from  June,  1765,  with  the  names  of  his  pupils  and  the  amounts  of 
their  tuition  fees. 

IV.  10.  THOMAS  Maltby  "was  born"  the  12th  of  October, 
between  the  hours  of  12  and  i  on  the  Sunday  morning  in  the  year 
of  our  Lord  1766." 

It  may  be  well  to  state  here  that  these  records  are  practically 
all  taken  from  Thomas  Maltby 's  Bible.  They  were  copied  by  Mrs. 
Percy  Browne  of  Sunderland,  England,  who  is  a  great,  great-grand- 
daughter of  the  above  Thomas  Maltby.  Mrs.  Browne  writes :  "The 
spelling  is  evidently  old  English  and  most  beautifully  written — some 
pages  of  the  Bible  are  missing  which  might  have  contained  other 
and  older  dates  and  names.  The  old  Bibles  are  very  much  torn  and 
discolored  but  I  have  copied  word  for  word  and  spelled  as  it  is  spelled 
in  the  pages  I  found."  Mrs.  Orr,  to  whom  Mrs.  Browne  sent  her 
copy,  forwarded  it  to  the  compiler. 

Mrs.  Orr  writes :  "Thomas  Maltby  was  a  master  mariner  or  sea 
captain  who  sailed  out  of  Scarboro.  This  Thomas  Maltby  was  mas- 
ter of  a  vessel  carrying  coals  up  the  Baltic  during  the  Napolian 
wars  and  was  taken  as  a  prisoner  of  war  in  the  year  1807  while  try- 
ing to  run  a  blockade.  He  was  in  prison  seven  years  and  while 
thus  confined.  taus:ht  navigation  to  the  other  prisoners.  We  have  a 
letter  written  by  him  in  181 2  to  his  wife  and  family  who  were  then 
living  in  Sunderland,  Durham  County,  EnHand."  "  Mr.  B.  Wilkin-

son  also  wrote :  "We  have  letters  written  by  your  great-grandfather 
when  in  a  French  prison,  and  I  blush  for  my  poor  writing  when  I 
consider  the  perfect  formation  of  every  letter  in  the  closely  written 
epistles  he  sent  from  his  prison  home." 

Thomas  Maltby  m.  Mary  .     (Probably  ^lary  Baker,  as 

they  name  a  son  Thomas  Baker.)     Their  children  were:

at  a  quarter  before  six  o'clock  of  the  Sunday  morning,  in  Scarboro, 
Yorkshire,  England."  J\lrs.  Browne  writes  :  "The  following  is  copied 
from  a  very  old  book  of  exquisite  writing  which  contains  texts  and 
beautiful  thoughts  on  religion::  '1817,  April  28th,  Alonday  morn- 
ing, at  half  past  9  o'clock,  Thos.  Baker  Alaltby  sailed  from  Sunder-

Note. — The  earliest  record  found  of  Maltbys  at  Scarborough  is  in  1334, 
when  the  name  of  William  de  Maltby  appears  in  a  list  of  Freemen  (p.  18,  Cal. 
Pat.  Rolls). 

It  is  \\\\\\  the  deepest  regret  that  we  have  to  record  the  death 
of  Col.  Maltby  of  Newcastle,  New  Brunswick. 

Col.  Maltby  had  been  a  member  of  the  12th  Newcastle  Field 
Battery  for  nearly  forty  years,  having  risen  from  the  rank  of  gun- 
ner to  that  of  commanding  officer.  Upon  the  outbreak  of  the  pres- 
ent European  war.  Col.  Maltby  was  most  anxious  to  enlist  for  active 
service,  but  being  59  years  of  age,  it  was  impossible  for  him  to 
be  accepted  by  the  Department  of  Militia.  He  was,  however,  made 
recruiting  officer  for  the  district.  It  was  while  in  pursuit  of  his 
duties,  while  on  a  recruiting  tour  in  the  northern  part  of  the  province 
that  he  contracted  pneumonia  from  which  he  died  after  a  two  weeks' 
illness.  The  funeral,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Masonic  order,  of 
which  Col.  ^Maltby  was  a  member,  was  most  impressive,  the  casket

Arms :  Argent  on  a  bend  gules  three  garbs  or.    Crest :  a  barley  sheaf 

erect  and  banded  or.     Pendant  therefrom  a  bugle  horn  or. 

Motto:  Sperat  infestis.     (There  is  hope  in  adversity.") 

For  grant  of  arms  see  below. 

The  above  crest  is  given  in  Fairbairn's  Crests  of  England  and 
Scotland,  under  the  heading  "Alaltby — Essex,''  with  the  difference 
that  the  bugle  horn  is  argent  instead  of  or. 

Mr.  Ernest  Maltby,  from  whom  most  of  the  following  notes 
were  obtained,  says  he  is  not  sure  if  the  bugle  horn  comes  from  the 
Foxton  family — one  of  his  forebears  having  married  a  Foxton — or 
from  the  Pennycuicks  whose  crest  is  a  demi  forester  blowing  a  bugle 
and  whose  motto  is  "Free  for  a  Blast,"  this  being  the  only  homage 
in  the  old  days  the  head  of  the  family  had  to  pay  when  the  king 
came  inside  the  barony  near  Edinburgh,  now  the  property  of  Sir 
George  Clark,  or  his  descendants.

Cambridgeshire  and  London  have  a  similar  coat-of-arms,  viz. :

Note. — Through  the  Maltby  Association  we  have  been  able  to  trace  this 
branch  of  the  family  back  a  generation  further  than  the  records  which  were 
furnished  by  Mr.   Rlaltby.

register  informs  me  that  there  were  older  IMaltbv  records  on  the 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  157 

registers  and  he  observed  the  name  of  Foxton  several  times  while 
searching  for  the  birth  of  Thomas  (2)  Maltby.  A  small  sum  of 
money  would  probably  obtain  records  of  several  generations  back 
of  those  now  known.  He  is  called  "deceased  in  July,  1752,  when 
his  son  Thomas  was  baptized." 

Aliss  Henrietta  Maltby  writes  of  him :  "Grandfather  must  have 
been  an  elder  or  an  only  son.  as  the  family  property  was  in  his 
hands.  (These  lands  were  in  the  wilds  of  the  North  Riding,  near 
Ripon,  York.) 

Note. — Christopher  Maltby  probably  had  a  younger  brother  named 
Thomas,  as  the  clerk  informs  me  that  he  found  the  baptism  of  William,  son 
of  Thomas  Maltbv  of  the  King's  First  Regiment  of  Dragoons;  he  was  bapt. 
March  2X  1777. 

How  many  children  Christopher  may  have  had  is  not  known 
to  me.  An  old  diary  (a  copy  of  which  Mr.  Maltby  loaned  the  com- 
piler), written  by  Henrietta  Maltby,  b.  in  1788;  d.  1876,  and  the 
memoir  written  when  she  was  76  years  of  age,  states  that  her 
father,  Thomas  (2)  "was  a  posthumous  child,  many  brothers  and 
sisters  had  preceded  him,  but  one  alone  of  them,  Christopher,  lived 
within  the  scope  of  my  memory.  He  w^as  mucli  older  than  his 
brother  Thomas  and  settled  in  London."  She  speaks  of  her  grand- 
father Maltby  and  states  -that  she  "always  understood  that  grand- 
mother was  by  birth  a  Foxton,  and  it  is  from  her  we  have  the  bugle 
horn  in  our  arms."  .  .  .  "Tradition  speaks  of  our  grandmother 
as  having  been  very  handsome."  Further  on  in  the  memoir  she 
speaks  of  one  of  the  last  presents  Grandmother  Maltby  gave  her 
son  Thomas  was  a  large  silver  tankard  with  the  Foxton  and  other 
arms  on  it.  Alas,  she  further  states  it  was  so  large  and  out  of  style 
she  gave  it  away !  She  further  adds :  "Grandmother  died  about 
I795-" 

I  am  inclined  to  think  that  one  of  the  sons  of  Christopher  was 
Richard,  as  we  find  the  two  following  items  in  the  West  Indies,  viz. : 

Nevis,  W.  I.,  1800.  "West  Indian  Deeds  on  the  Close  Rolls, 
London,  is  orie  of  Butler  Claxton  by  Thomas  Maltby,  Henrietta, 
his  wife;  Nevis,  1800,  7,  13,  14.  15.  16." 

.  The  second  item  reads :  "Barbodoes  Mercury,  W.  I.  Died. 
Richard  Maltby,  Esq.,  of  Bridgetown,  Barbadoes  within  a  few  days 
of  Sept.  14,  1816.     Mrs.  Maltby.  his  w.,  d.  the  morning  of  March 

23.  1813-" 

The  first  item  refers  to  Thomas,  son  of  Christopher,  and  it  is 


158  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

possible  the  second  item  refers  to  a  brother  Richard.  However,  out 
of  "many  children"  we  can  record  only  the  two  following: 

II.     2.  Christopher  Maltby.  b ?     Settled  in  London. 

II.     3.  Thomas  Maltby,  bapt.  in  All  Saints'  Church,  North- 
allerton, July  26,  1752. 

II.  4.  Brother  d.  in  1754,  of  smallpox. 
II.  2.  "CHRISTOPHER  Maltby,"  writes  his  neice,  "was 
much  older  than  his  brother  Thomas.  My  impression  of  him  is  that 
he  was  mild  and  gentlemanly,  with  an  air  of  much  suffering  from 
illness.  His  wife  and  her  sister,  Lady  Bannerman,  had  in  youth  been 
so  noted  for  their  beauty  as  to  have  been  called  the  Roses  of  York- 
shire. 

II.  3.  THOMAS  Maltby,  bapt.  July  26,  1752,  at  Northaller- 
ton, York,  m.  at  St.  Swithin's,  London,  May  17,  1787,  Henrietta 
Crichton,  b.  in  1770;  d.  in  1837.  He  d.  in  1830.  She  was  a  dau. 
of  Alderman  Crichton. 

Note. — This  is  very  evidently  the  Thomas  Maltby  and  wife,  Henrietta, 
who  sign  the  Nevis,  W.  I.  deed  in  1800. 

Henrietta  Maltby  in  her  memoirs  writes:  "I  believe  father's 
[Thomas  (2)]  birthplace  was  North  Allerton,  Yorkshire,  where  it 
appears  his  family  had  been  long  resident  and  held  the  respectable 
rank  of  small  proprietors,  farming  their  own  land. 

"That  the  Maltbys  were  long  ago  persons  of  some  consequence 
in  that  part  of  the  country  may  be  inferred  by  an  entry  in  Dugdale's 
A^lonastican  of  a  grant  of  land  made  to  a  convent  in  that  locality 

by  a  Sir  Thomas  de  Maltby  and  Dame  .  his  wife,  in  order 

that  prayers  should  be  kept  on  for  the  benefit  of  their  sols ;  and 
Henry,"  (her  brother?)  "when  some  years  ago  at  the  Heralds'  office 
on  other  business,  profited  by  the  opportunity  to  make  inquiries  about 
the  Maltbys  of  North  Allerton.  The  result  of  his  inquiry  was  his 
hearing  that  though  not  coming  under  what  it  is  the  fashion  of  our 
time  to  call  'the  untitled  nobility  of  the  country.'  the  Maltbys  were 
a  respectable  race  of  small  landed  proprietors  in  Yorkshire — the 
class,  I  fancy,  whose  younger  sons  formed  the  ranks  of  the  formid- 
able cross-bowmen  of  the  times  of  the  Plantagenets ;  and  still  more 
redoubtable  Ironsides  of  Cromwell's  more  recent  period.  ]\Ien  who 
could  equip  themselves  with  horses  and  arms  and  were  ready  to 
follow  fame  or  fortune  wherever  their  proverbial  Yorkshire  sagacity 
told  them  they  were  most  likely  to  be  found. 

"Our  father's  family  were  decided  adherents  to  the  Established 
Church.    .    .    .    Christmas,  Easter  and  all  high  festivals  were  dearly 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  159 

prized  by  him  to  the  end  of  his  days  as  recalhng  the  Yule  log,  the 
family  gatherings  round  it  and  all  his  youthful  happiness  at  those 
joyful  seasons,  when  like  the  Vicar  of  Wakefield's  neighbors,  they 
cracked  nuts,  toasted  each  other  in  home  made  wines,  and  sung  jovial 
carols.  .  .  .  Like  all  families  who  have  been  long  settled  in  a 
neighborhood  the  Maltby  connections  from  good  and  bad  marriages 
and  other  causes  must  have  included  persons  holding  very  different 
positions  in  its  society."  Thomas  Maltby's  widowed  mother  married 
the  bailiff  and  Thomas  left  home  for  all  time  when  only  14.  Mis 
Henrietta  Maltby  writes:  "In  his  old  age,  I  have  seen  him  shed 
tears  as  when  talking  of  his  mother's  loving,  fondling  ways ;  of  her 
alarm  the  first  time  he  was  seized  with  a  fainting  fit,  an  ill  to  which, 
healthy  as  he  was,  he  was  occasionally  subject." 

In  1807  the  family  resided  at  Plaiston  Lodge,  near  Bromley,  Kent, 
a  very  beautiful  place  of  some  hundred  acres,  requiring  a  staff  of 
twenty-two  servants.  They  removed  to  Boulogne  and  thence  to 
Brussels.  There  Mr.  Maltby  d.,  "and  Octavia  d.  in  April,  1830." 
(Octavia  seems  to  have  been  her  sister.) 

Note. — This  mention  of  Brussels  leads  one  to  the  query  as  to  whether 
the  Mr.  Maltby  who  was  British  Consul  at  Brussels  from  1840  to  1880. 

II.  3.  Air.  THO:\IAS  Maltby  was  a  very  able  merchant  and 
private  banker  of  Harley  Street,  and  owned  a  very  fine  country 
seat  at  Walthanston  in  Essex.  He  practically  made  the  house  of 
Walker  and  also  amassed  a  considerable  fortune  himself,  being  cred- 
ited with  having  made  over  £90,000  ($450,000)  before  he  was  thirty- 
two  years  of  age.  Later  he  went  into  business  himself  as  old  Mr. 
Walker  died,  and  Mr.  Maltby  not  being  able  to  get  on  with  the  son, 
who  was  then  head  of  the  firm.  Ill  fortune  beset  him — through  no 
fault  of  his  own,  rather  a  too  kindly  opinion  of  the  integrity  of  his 
associates — and  he  lost  all  he  had  made  and  died  a  poor  man. 

Mr.  Maltby  had  a  great  friend  in  Sir  Martin  Archer  Shee,  Presi- 
dent of  the  Royal  Academy,  1803-5  (I  believe),  he  painted  two  grand 
pictures,  one  of  Mr.  Maltby.  which  we  reproduce  in  this  book,  and 
one  of  his  wife  with  their  daughter  Ellen,  then  a  little  girl.  Mr. 
Ernest  Maltby  says  his  grandfather  was  said  to  have  been  the 
seventh  son  of  his  father;  also  that  his  father  was  the  fifteenth  of 
sixteen  children,  and  a  seventh  son.  I  believe  Mr.  ]\Ialtby  is  buried 
at  Shelton.  Xotts.    He  had  eight  sons  and  eight  daughters.

in  1832  he  went  out  to  India.  Mr.  Maltby  m.  Jane  Pennycuick  at

battle  of  Chillian wallah  in  the  Punjaub  of  India  during  the  Second 
Sikt  War,  and  who  fell  gloriously  on  January  15,  1849,  when  the 
famous  24th  foot  (of  which  regiment  Brig.-Gen.  Pennycuick  was 
also  Colonel)  were  literally  mowed  down  in  ten  minutes,  Lord 
Gough  having  ordered  them  at  the  end  of  a  long  march  to  charge 
the  Sikt  guns  in  position.  Mr.  Ernest  Maltby  says :  "My  grand- 
father and  his  hero  boy — only  seventeen  years  old — died  fighting 
nobly  and  their  grand  deaths  drew  forth  that  stirring  letter  in  the 
'Times'  of  London,  England,  written  in  his  usual  violent  style  by

whose  brother.  Sir  Charles  Napier,  was  a  great  friend  of  my  grand- 
father's and  an  old  comrade.  In  appreciation  of  his  services  my 
grandmother  was  given  rooms  in  Hampton  Court  Palace  which  she

names  of  all  the  brave  officers  and  men  who  fell  on  that  fatal  field."  "" 
Air.  Edward  Alaltby  had  a  most  serviceable  career  in  the  Aladras 
Civil  Service,  finishing  his  long  term  of  thirty-two  years  in  1864, 
by  having  occupied  for  a  number  of  years  the  highest  post  in  the 
Service ;  viz. :  Senior  Member  in  Council,  and  for  some  months  pre- 
vious to  his  retirement  he  was  Acting  Governor  of  Madras  while

India  at  Calcutta. 

On  his  retirement  Air.  Alaltby  was  offered  a  knighthood  which

The  following  is  a  copy  of  the  grant  of  arms  to  this  family  which 
we  have  called  "of  North  Allerton"  but  from  the  wording  of  this 
document  it  is  evident  that  Christopher  Maltby  originally  came 
from  Maltby  in  Cleveland,  and  only  in  his  later  years  resided  in 
North  Allerton.  This  is  a  very  important  discovery  and  will  be 
followed  up  by  this  branch  of  the  family. 

TO   ALL   AND    SINGULAR 

To  whom  these  Presents  shall  come  Sir  Isaac  Heard.  Knight 
Garter  Principal  King  of  Arms  and  Thomas  Lock.  Esquire,  Clau- 
enceux  King  of  Arms  of  the  South,  East  and  West  Parts  of  Eng- 
land from  the  River  Trent  Southwards  send  greeting: 

Whereas,  Thomas  Maltby  of  Chatham  Square  in  the  City  of 
London  and  of  Bleackheath  in  the  Parish  of  Lewisham  in  the  County 
of  Kent,  Esquire,  hath  represented  unto  the  Most  Noble  Charles, 
Duke  of  Norfolk,  Earl  Marshall  and  Hereditary  Marshal  of  Eng- 
land, that  he  has  always  understood  and  believed  that  his  ancestors 
came  from  Maltby  in  Cleveland  in  the  North  Riding  of  the  Countv 
of  York,  but  being  unable  to  trace  a  regular  descent  from  the 
family  of  that  name  whose  pedigree  was  entered  at  the  Heralds 
Visitation  of  Yorkshire,  made  in  1613.  He  therefore  requested  the 
favor  of  His  Grace  to  issue  his  warrant  for  one  devising,  granting 
and  assigning  such  armorial  ensigns  as  may  be  proper  to  be 
borne  by  him  and  his  descendants  and  by  the  descendants  of  his 
late  father,  Christopher  Maltby,  formerly  of  Maltby  aforesaid  but 
last  of  North  Allerton  in  the  County  of  York,  deceased. 

And  forasmuch  as  the  said  Earl  Marshal  did  by  warrant  under 
his  Hand  and  Seal  bearing  date  the  nineteenth  day  of  September 
instant,  authorize  and  direct  us  to  devise,  grant  and  assign  such 
armorial  ensigns  accordingly.  Know  ye  therefore  that  we.  the  said 
Garter  and  Clauenceux  in  pursuance  of  the  consent  of  the  said  Earl 
Marshal  and  by  virtue  of  the  Letters  Patent  of  our  several  offices 
to  each  of  the  respectively  granted  under  the  Great  Seal  of  Great 
Britain  have  decided  and  do  by  these  Presents  grant  and  assign 
to  the  said  Thomas  Maltby,  Esquire,  the  Arms  following;  that  is 
to  say,  Argent  on  a  bend  gules  between  two  cotises  engrailed  of 
the  second  a  bugle  horn  stringed  of  the  field  between  two  garbs  or 
a  crescent  for  dififerenec.  And  for  the  Crest  on  a  wreath  of  the 
colours,  a  garb  or  banded  azure  and  prendant  therefrom  a  bugle 
horn  sable  stringed  blue  differenced  as  the  Arms,  as  the  same  are 
in  the  margin  hereof  more  plainly  depicted  to  be  borne  and  used

forever  hereafter  by  him,  the  said  Thomas  Maltby,  Esquire  and 
his  descendants  and  by  the  descendants  of  his  late  father,  Chris- 
topher Maltby  with  due  and  proper  differences  according  to  the 
laws  of  Arms  without  the  let  or  interruption  of  any  Person  or  Per- 
sons whatsoever. 

In  witness  whereof.  We,  the  said  Garter  and  Clauenceux  Kings 
of  Arms,  have  to  these  Presents  subscribed  our  Names  and  affixed 
the  Seals  of  our  several  offices,  this  twenty-third  day  of  Septem- 
ber, in  the  thirty-ninth  year  of  the  Reign  of  our  Sovereign  Lord 
George  the  Third,  by  the  Grace  of  God,  King  of  Great  Britain, 
France  and  Ireland,  Defender  of  the  Faith,  etc.,  and  in  the  year  of 
Our  Lord,  one  thousand  and  seven  hundred  and  ninety-nine.

Note — The  original  motto  was :  Opes  Parit  Industria,  but  Mrs.  Wells 
writes  that  her  family  now  use  the  motto :  "Industria  Parit  Opiam."  Mr. 
Ernest  Maltby  states  the  original  motto  was  Copia  Parit  Industria  (Industry 
bringeth  forth  riches),  but  his  family  now  use  for  their  motto  :  Sperat  Infestis 
(There  is  hope  in  adversity). 


SuppLEMivNTARY  Notes  Pedigree  XIV. 

Recent  letters  from  Mrs.  Sydney  Wells  of  12  Linden  Road, 
Bedford,  England,  give  many  more  items  of  interest  of  this  branch 
of  the  family. 

II.  2.  Christopher  Maltby  settled  in  London  when  his  brother 
Thomas  was  but  a  boy.  He  m.  Miss  Sedgwick.  They  had  children, 
but  no  information  concerning  them  is  available.  One  of  the  daugh- 
ters married  an  Italian  named  Gabrielli  (London  artist  probably) 
and  had  a  large  family  who  lived  in  much  discomfort  owing  to 
scanty  means. 

II.  3.  Thomas  (2)  was  but  fourteen  years  old  when  he  started 
life  in  London.  He  was  first  of  all  employed  in  the  house  of  a  Mr. 
Freeling,  lead  merchant,  after  which  he  formed  a  connection  with 
the  firm  of  Walker.  He  resided  first  at  Red  Bull  Wharf.  Thames 
Street,  then  at  Blackheath,  having  a  winter  residence  at  Chatham 
Place.  In  1807,  they  moved  to  Plaiston  Lodge  and  afterwards  to 
Walthanston  in  181 3.  In  June,  1823  to  1833,  they  resided  at  Upper 
Harley  Street. 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  165 

MALTBY 

PUDlGREi;  XV. 
Maltby — Hovcringhmii,  Mansfield,  Xottiiighamshirc 

Mr.  Harte  of  \\^ells,  Somerset,  whose  wife  is  Clara  Jane  Maltby 
of  this  pedigree,  and  to  whom  I  am  indebted  for  data  of  this  branch 
of  the  family,  writes  me  that  "in  all  probability  the  Maltbys  of 
jMansfield  descend  from  Robert  Alaltby  of  Orston."  Mr.  Harte 
further  states :  "I  understand  that  some  of  the  Maltbys  were  buried 
at  Hoveringham  early  in  1500  and  that  about  thirty-five  years  ago 
(1875)  was  to  be  seen  in  Hoveringham  Church,  or  Churchyard,  the 
name  of  a  William  (or  John?)  ]\Ialtby,  date  early  1600.  The  church 
has  in  recent  years  been  restored." 

The  earliest  Hoveringham  record  at  hand  is  that  of  the  will  of 
Hugh  jMaultby  proved  in  1698-9.  He  had  sons.  William,  Hugh, 
Richard,  John,  James,  a  wife  Mary  and  a  daughter  Mary.  The  name 
Hugh  is  one  frequently  found  about  this  time  in  the  Orston  branch 
of  the  family. 

From  St.  Peter's  Church  we  have  the  following  record  which 
evidently  refers  to  the  above  Hugh  Maltby :  "Hugh  Maultby  of 
Hoveringham,  Notts,  and  Mary  Gibson  of  Cosall,  Notts,  m.  (license) 
25  Feby.,  1660."  A'ery  possibly  he  was  the  Hugh  Maltby  b.  at 
Orston  in  1636,  son  of  John  and  ]ylary  ]Maltby. 

We  begin  this  Pedigree  with : 

I.     I. Maltby.     He  had  a  son:

solicitor  of  Nottingham.  (Is  this  the  Arthur  Maltby  mentioned  in 
the  New  York  Herald  in  about  the  year  1906.)  It  speaks  of  him 
as  a  London  author,  who  addressed  the  Metropolitan  Psychical  So- 
ciety. 'T  may  tell  you,"  he  says,  "that  I  have  had  an  absolutely 
direct  communication  from  the  other  world.  I  am  what  is  called 
an  automatic  writer,  as  William  T.  Stead  would  sav.  althougli  I  do 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  167 

not  believe  in  it.  I  should  like  to  have  your  opinion.  I  was  writing 
an  American  story  when  my  hand  suddenly  seemed  as  if  paralyzed 
and  automatically  wrote  'America  will  conquer  the  whole  world, 
and  all  the  world  will  speak  its  language,'  and  then  followed  the 
signature,  'George  Washington."  Again,  writing  an  article  on 
Haldane's  territorial  scheme,  my  hand  was  affected  in  the  same  way 
as  before  and  I  wrote,  'England's  salvation  lies  in  conscription.' 
Then  followed  details  in  the  way  in  which  our  army  should  be 
reformed.  I  had  a  kettle  on  the  hob  at  the  time,  as  I  intended  to 
make  a  cup  of  tea.  The  kettle  boiled  over.  I  stopped  writing  in 
order  to  remove  it.  On  my  putting  pencil  to  paper  again  the  lan- 
guage was  truly  military — you  understand — for  breaking  the  cur- 
rent of  ideas.  On  my  apologizing  to  the  unknown  the  details  were 
continued  and  at  the  close  the  message  was  signed  'Wellington.'  I 
laughed.    Again  the  pencil  moved  and  wrote  one  word,  'Fool.'  " 

It  will  be  noted  that  Mr.  Alaltby  does  not  believe  in  automatic 
writing,  yet  had  experiences  which  led  him  to  ask  an  opinion  of 
what  had  occured  of  the  Metropolitan  Psychical  Society.  The  above 
item  may  not  apply  to  the  Arthur  Alaltby  of  Forest  Hill,  London, 
but  it  would  seem  likely.  The  children  of  Arthur  Alaltby  (I\'.  8) 
were : 

V.  2j.  Harold    Maltby. 

V.  28.  Katie   Maltby,   m.   of   Bradford. 

V.  29.  Sophie  Maltby,  m.  and  had  five  children.

dated  "The  Rectory,  May  16,  191 1,"  to  the  com- 
piler furnished  some  of  the  above  records.     He 
was  the  youngest  child.     There  are  several  other 
children. 
V.  33.  GILBERT  Maltby,  b.   1830;  bapt.  at  Mansfield;  m.  in

Dumfrieshire.  Children : 

VI.  37.  George  Mowbray  Maltby. 

VI.  38.  Clara  Jane  Maltby,  m.  at  Singapore,  Edward  Harte 
of  Wells,  Somerset,  who  furnished  most  of  the 
records  of  this  branch  of  the  family. 

Note.— A  letter  dated  July  12th,  1906,  from  Morton  Rectory,  near  Alfre- 
ton,  Devonshire,  from  ]\Ir.  Gilbert  Maltby,  who  was  evidently  visiting  his 
brother,  who  was  in  ill  health,  states  that  they  have  a  cousin  in  Toronto,  a 
Charles  Unwin,  Esq.,  O.  L.  S.  City  Surveyor,  which  proves  that  Rev.  Wil- 
liam  Mowbray  Maltby  had  a   sister  who  married  a   Mr.   Unwin. 

Addenda. — As  this  goes  to  press  we  have  received  an  interesting  photo- 
graph from  Mr.  Edward  C.  Harte,  showing  the  Mayor  of  Mansfield  (who  is 
"Alderman  Maltby,"  according  to  a  contemporary  English  paper)  welcoming^ 
home  Corporal  Fuller  of  Mansfield  who  has  won  the  Victoria  Cross.  We 
feel  greatly  indebted  to  Mr.  Harte  for  this  photograph  and  the  pleasure  it 
gives  us  to  thus  meet  another  English  cousin.  Mayor  Maltby  undoubtedly 
descends  from  this  Hoveringham,  Mansfield  branch  of  the  family  and  we 
hope  to  ascertain  his  line  of  descent.

Maltby — Leeds.  Yorkshire. 

This  family  owned  o  coat-of-arms  which  was  on  a  fine  old  seal 
ring  belonging  to  ]\Ir.  William  Lassey  Alaltby's  father,  and  which 
was  lost;  unfortunately  little  interest  was  taken  in  such  things  and 
the  present  generation  is  unable  to  describe  the  arms,  though  ^h. 
[Nlaltby  says  he  is  quite  sure  it  was  not  the  sheaves  of  wheat. 

Pedigree 

I.  I.  SA]yIUEL  ]\Ialtby.  of  Leeds.  Yorkshire,  master  plumber. 
He  seems  to  have  been  quite  well  off,  juding  from  the  fact  that  a 
piece  of  property  which  should  have  gone  to  his  son  Samuel — by  the 
entail  not  being  cut  off — was  valued  at  some  iSooo  sterling,  which 
of  course  was  but  a  part  of  his  propertv. 

II.  2.  SA:\IUEL  Maltby  was  b.  at  Leeds,  Yorks.  Mr.  W.  L. 
Maltby  says :  "I  may  as  well  admit  that  I  have  an  idea  that  father 
was  somewhat  of  a  dare-devil,  and  it  was  probably  his  reason  for 
leaving  Yorkshire  and  moving  to  Derby,  where  I  was  born.  Father 
had  two  sisters  married,  but  I  was  too  young  to  know  much  about 
them,  as  we  emigrated  to  ^^lontreal,  Canada,  in  1855.  when  I  was 
thirteen  years  old.  .  .  .  On  mother's  side  there  is  a  legend  attached 
to  the  name,  true  or  not  I  do  not  know.  At  the  battle  of  Naseby, 
a  child  was  found  on  the  field ;  picked  up  by  the  soldiers,  they  began 
betting  upon  its  sex.  The  losers  to  have  the  privilege  of  naming  it. 
It  was  a  boy.  They  swore  a  good  round  oath  it  should  be  a  Lassie 
anyway,  and  that  is  why  the  name  Lassey  came  to  be.  They  are  so 
proud  of  it  (absurd)  that  they  dub  all  their  children  with  that  name 
— all  our  family  have  got  the  Lassey  tacked  on  to  us.  .  .  .  Father 
was  always  bragging  about  his  cousin,  the  Bishop,  but  I  was  not 
born  that  way  and  did  not  care  a  continental  for  the  past." 

*  A  newspaper  clipping-  before  me  speaking:  of  the  Yerkes  method  in 
Chicago,  says:  "True,  there  had  been  champions  of  public  risrhts  in  that 
body  before,  notably  John  H.  Hamline,  a  splendid  fig:ure  of  a  man.  rusged 
and  vehement.  Adolphus  W.  Maltby  followed  him — a  'solid'  business  man — 
insisting  on  public  rights."     Mr.  Maltby  resides  at  Concord.  California. 


170  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

Note.— It  is  probable  that  Mr.  Maltby  descends  from  Samuel  Maltby, 
bapt.  Feb.  23,  1755,  at  Shelton,  Notts.  See  Pedigree  of  Maltby  of  Orston 
who  was  a  son  of  Samuel,  b.  in  1725.  The  name  Samuel  seems  to  come  down 
well  in  this  branch  of  the  family.  I  think  the  above  Samuel  (2)  had  seven 
children. 


III.  3.  WILLIAM  Lassey  Maltby,  b.  in  1842  in  Derby,  Eng- 
land. Emigrated  to  Montreal,  Canada,  in  1855.  ^^r.  Maltby  has 
one  daughter  by  his  first  wife.  He  has  been  very  successful  in  busi- 
ness.    Resides  at  309  St.  James  Street,  Montreal.    Child : 

IV.     Daughter. 

III.  4.  HERBERT  Lassey  Maltby  of  the  Eas.  Dept.  C.  P. 
R.  R.,  Montreal. 

III.     5.  C.  Lassey  Maltby  of  Medland,  Ont.    Has  10  children. 

III.  4.  Mr.  Herbert  L.  Maltby  wrote,  May  13,  1909:  "The 
Yorkshire  Maltbys  are  the  fountainhead  of  that  name  or  family  and 
their  descendants.  If  you  would  take  up  the  pedigree  of  Bishop 
Maltby  of  London,  you  would  likely  get  enlightenment  as  to  the 
branch  of  our  family  both  in  LTnited  States  and  India.  ..."  ( See 
V.  68,  Col.  Samuef  Maltby,  b.  1787;  Col.  in  E.  India  Co..  Orston 
Maltby  Fed.)  "My  brother  V\^.  L.  Maltby,  who  is  nine  years  older 
than  I  am  holds  the  coat-of-arms  which  you  show  on  your  booklet." 

Note. — Mr.  W.  L.  Maltby  states  :  'T  had  an  old  seal  ring  of  my  father's, 
I  unfortunately  lost  it.  twenty  years  ago,  but  it  certainly  was  not  the  wheat 
sheaves." 

H.  L.  Maltby  writes :  "I  had  pedigrees,  etc.,  but  unfortunately  I  lost 
them  in  a  fire." 

Mr.  Maltby  has  been  twice  married  and  has  twenty  children. 
His  eldest  boy,  if  living,  would  be  39  years  old.  His  youngest  child 
was  b.  in  Jan.  (?)  1908. 

Note. — One  of  Mr.  Maltby's  sons  has  been  living  in  Vancouver  for  the 
last  four  years.  He  enlisted,  when  war  broke  out,  with  the  72nd  Seaforth 
Highlanders  of  Vancouver  and  when  last  heard  from  was  at  the  front  in 
the  16th  Battalion,  3rd  Brigade.  May  he  return  unliarmed  when  this  fright- 
ful war  is  over. 

There  is  little  doubt  but  that  this  branch  of  the  family  connect 
with  the  pedigree  of  the  Maltbys  of  Orston.

Malby  wrote  to  Air.  George  Ellsworth  Alaltby  of  Xew  Haven,  Con-

"I  have  no  doubt  but  that  if  the  matter  could  be  traced  back 
that  it  would  be  found  that  we  all  belong  to  the  same  family. ,  You 
are  spelling  your  name  correctly  and  as  our  ancestors  spelled  it.  I 
am  spelling  it  incorrectly.  However,  it  is  a  result  of  the  way  I  was 
taught  when  I  was  a  boy  and  I  have  always  continued  to  spell  it 
so. 

"Aly  ancestors  emigrated  to  this  country  about  60  years  ago ; 
(1834?)  coming  from  Yorkshire,  England.  They  settled  in  North- 
ern New  York.  My  grandparents  died  when  I  was  a  boy  and  I 
know  little  of  the  family  history.  Two  brothers  came  to  this  coun- 
try at  that  time  named  William  and  John.    .    .    .

Note. — I  have  not  a  ]\Iaulsby  Genealogy  at  hand,  but  do  not  think  from 
the  names  that  tlie  above  are  a  branch  of  that  family.  Personally  I  am  in- 
clined to  think  this  family  connected  with  a  "N.  Malherbe,"  who  signs  a 
petition  to  Lord  Cornby,  at  New  York  in  1702.  The  petition  was  signed  by 
346  persons  from  Xew  York  and  Provinces   (from  a  Hist,  of  Erie  Co.,  N.  Y., 


AIALTBY— FA.MILY  HISTORY— AIALTBIE  175 

Vol.  IV.,  p.  1006).  This  French  form  of  Malherby  would  certainly  be 
Anglicized  into  Alallaby. 

A  letter  from  Arthur  Lee,  Paris,  May  22,  1779,  to  Samuel  Adams,  con- 
cerning Benjamin  Franklin  has  the  following;  "Please  to  enclose  your  letters 
a  Monsieur  le  Alarquis  de  ]\Ialsherbe,  Minister  d'Etat,  a  Paris."  (Ref.  X.  Y. 
Hist.  Soc.  Papers,  1891,  p.  465.)  This  may  be  the  branch  of  the  family  whom 
descendants  claim  were  French  Huguenots  and  settled  somewhere  near  New 
Rochelle,  New  York. 

In  1626  (p.  425,  State  and  Domestic  Papers,  64.  Date  Sept.  11,  1626) 
there  is  a  petition  of  John  Malherbe,  Master  of  the  "Francis"  of  St.  Maloes. 
His  ship  was  bound  from  St.  Maloes  to  Calais  and  was  stayed  by  a  King's 
ship  and  brought  to  Dover.  This  French  branch  is  doubtless  of  the  same 
stock  as  the  English,  though  possibly  one  would  have  to  trace  back  prior 
to  the  Xorman  Conquest  to  prove  it.

CORK,    IRELAND 

Information  has  recently  been  received  of  a  branch  of  the 
family,  who,  if  tradition  is  not  at  fanlt.  have  probably  long  been 
seated  in  Ireland. 

This  branch  of  the  ^laltbys  are  said  to  have  gone  to  Ireland 
with  Oliver  Cromwell,  perhaps  in  Cromwell's  army,  which  would 
have  been   about  the  year    1649   or    1650. 

This  tradition  would  indicate  that  the  following  record  con- 
cerns this  family  intimately.  In  the  Calendar  of  State  Papers  for 
Ireland,  1660-1662,  p.  657,  edited  ]\Iahafifey,  is  this  item:  "vSamnel 
Maltby  served  in  the  Army  of  Ireland  since  1649,  in  Capt.  Richard 
Franklin's  troop,  of  Lord  Deputy  Fleetwood's  Regiment."  (1649- 
1662?).  It  will  be  recalled  that  Lieutenant-General  Fleetwood  was 
put  in  command  of  Cromwell's  troops  in  Ireland,  where  he  resided 
as  Lord  Deputy  until  1655. 

It  would  seem  that  the  Samuel  Alaltby  above  was,  in  id\  prob- 
ability, the  progenitor  of  this  Irish  branch  of  the  family. 

There  has  not  been  time  to  communicate  with  the  Irish  con- 
nections, and  obtain  records  of  the  family,  consequently  we  can 
give  but  three  generations  at  the  present  writing,  namelv : 

I.  I.  ARTHUR  WARNER  MAULTBY,  resided  in  Cork, 
Ireland.  He  was  an  inspector  of  merchandise  shipped  from  the 
Citv  of  Cork — an  office,  or  appointment,  from  the  British  Crown. 
This  he  held  until  his  death,  when  his  grandson,  Henry  Maultby, 


176  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

Esq.,  received  the  appointment,  and  is  probably  still  in  office.   Arthur 
Warner  Maitltbv  had  six  sons,  as  follows: 

II.     2.  Joseph  Maultby. 

II.     3.  William   H.    Alaultby.  ^ 

II.     4.  John  Maultby. 

II.     5.  Peter  Maultby. 

II.     6.  Arthur  Warner  Maultby. 

II.  7.  Henry  Maultby. 
II.  4.  JOHN  MAULTBY  emigrated  to  the  United  States 
States  about  183 1-2,  and  settled  in  Washington  County  (  ?),  Ver- 
mont. Not  long  after  he  removed  to  Landsingburg,  Rensselaer 
County,  N.  Y.  Ivater  he  went  to  Sheboygan  County,  Michigan. 
He  was  a  prominent  man  in  that  county,  being  one  of  the  chief 
organizers,  holding  the  office  of  County  Clerk,  also  that  of  Probate 
Judge,  etc. 

II.  3.  JOHN  MAULTBY  emigrated  to  the  United  States 
about  1840  (?).  He  resided  at  Landsingburg  for  a  while.  He 
died  at  Waterford,  Albany  County,  N.  Y. 

II.  5.  PETER  MAULTBY  emigrated  with  his  brother,  John, 
and  for  a  while  resided  at  Landsingburg.  About  1842  he  removed 
to  Boonville,  Mo.,  and  there  married.  Later  he  moved  to  Kickapoo, 
Kansas.      (Information  of  his  descendants  requested.) 

II.  6.  ARTHUR  WARNER  MALTBY  emigrated  to  the 
United  States  about  1834.  He  resided  in  Vermont  with  his  brother, 
William  H.,  for  a  short  while  and  with  him  removed  to  Landsing- 
burg, N.  Y.  Here  he  married  Miss  Mary  Ann  Scace,  an  English 
lady  from  near  Ipswich,  Eng.  Both  have  been  some  vears  deceased. 
'  III.  8.  WILLIAM  H.  MAULTBY,  of  Grand"  Valley,  Penn- 
sylvania, is  a  son  of  the  above.  He  was  born  August  i.  1838.  at 
Landsingburg,  and  about  1840  moved  with  his  parents  to  Highland 
on  the  Hudson.

ALALTBY-ALALTBIE 

It  is  fitting  that  we  should  know  something  of  the  origin  and 
derivation  of  the  name  we  bear.  There  are  several  ways  of  spelling 
the  name  in  use  at  the  present  time,  the  most  common  being  Maltby 
and  Maltbie,  though  one  also  finds  Maltbey  and  Molby. 

Many  inquirers  ask  why  ]\Ialtby  is  usually  given  as  the  correct 
spelling  when  our  emigrant  ancestor  in  New  England  spelled  his 
name  Maltbie.  First  of  all,  our  emigrant  ancestors  spelled  the  name 
both  ways,  and  the  recorders  added  a  variety  of  spellings  to  these. 

A  common  idea  in  the  family  seemed  to  be  that  the  village  of 
Maltby,  Yorkshire,  took  its  name  from  the  family  of  Maltby.  who 
were  belies  ed  to  have  come  down  from  Denmark  before  the  Norman 
Conquest.  This  is  an  error,  as  will  be  subsequently  shown ;  also  it 
explains  how  the  name  comes  to  be  claimed  by  so  many  nations. 

Miss  Martha  J.  Maltby,  while  in  Christiana,  Norway,  saw  a 
stone  house,  known  for  years  as  the  "Maltby  House."  It  was  a 
private  residence  and  was  once  owned  bv  a  physician  by  the  name  of 
IMaltby. 

Miss  Maltby  was  told  by  a  Norwei^-ian  traveling  acquaintance 
(of  Chicago,  but  who  was  born  in  Christiana)  that  Maltby  was  a 
Norwegian  name. 

Miss  Margaret  Maltby  was  told  by  a  Danish  professor  of  the 
University  of  Copenhagen,  that  Maltby  was  a  Danish  name. 

While  in  Stockholm,  Miss  ]\Ialtby  was  told  that  it  was  Swedish 
and.  Aliss  Maltby  adds :  "We  know  it  is  English !" 

In  the  "Maulsby  Genealogy"  J\Iiss  Ella  K.  Barnard  has  given 
a  most  able  and  clear  analysis  of  this  subject  and  we  can  not  do 
better  than  to  quote  from  her  comprehensive  and  instructive  sum- 
ming-up. 


178  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

Page  13,  "The  Alaulsby  Genealogy":  "jNIaltby  is  an  old  Norse 
or  Saxon  name.  Saxon,  mealt ;  Swedish  and  Danish,  malt.  It  is 
perhaps  scarcely  necessary  to  say  that  malt  is  barley  or  other  grain 
steeped  in  water  until  it  germinates,  then  dried  on  a  kiln,  evolving 
the  saccharine  principal.     It  is  used  in  brewing. 

"  'By'  is  an  old  English  word,  with  the  same  spelling  in  Danish 
and  Swedish.  It  is  a  place  suffix,  equivalent  to  town ;  see  Grimsby, 
Whitby,  Derby.  Alaltby  therefore  means  the  town  which  produces 
malt,  or  where  malt  is  made." 

The  present  form  of  the  word  Maltby  seems  to  indicate 
Danish  origin  but  the  word  malt  probably  antedates  the  coming  of 
the  Danes  who  settled  in  that  part  of  England  containing  the  town- 
ship and  parish  of  Maltby  and  probably  influenced  its  later  spelling. 
Saxon  history  contains  many  such  records  and  leases,  as  the  fol- 
lowing : 

"Lufe  in  832  charged  the  inheritors  and  assigns  of  her  lands 
at  Mundlingham  with  the  following  nearly  payments  to  Canterbury 
forever ;  that  is  to  say.  Sixty  ambers  of  malt,  one  hundred  and  50 
loaves,  50  white  loaves.  120  alms-loaves,  one  ox,  one  hog  and  four 
wethers,  two  weys  of  bacon  and  cheese,  one  mitta  of  honey,  ten 
geese  and  20  hens." 

And :  "20  hides  of  land  were  leased  by  Peterborough  to  Wul- 
fred  for  two  hoes  on  condition  of  his  getting  its  freedom  and  for 
the  following  yearly  rental :  First  to  the  Monastery — 2  tons  of  bright 
ale ;  two  oxen  fit  for  slaughter ;  two  mittan  or  measures  of  Welsh 
ale ;  and  six  hundred  loaves.  To  the  Abbot's  Private  Estate — One 
horse  and  thirty  shillings  of  silver,  £><,  one  night's  pasture;  fifteen 
mittan  of  bright  and  five  of  Welsh  ale.  and  fifteen  sesters  of  mild 
ale." 

And  so  the  parts  of  Yorkshire  where  the  malt  was  made  in  great 
quantities  finally  became  known  as  Maltby  and  they  are  still  known 
to  us  through  the  names  of  (Page  14)  Maltby,  a  chapelry,  a  town- 
ship and  parish. 

"Maltby,  a  chapelry,  in  the  parish  of  Raithby.  union  of  Louth,

"Here  was  formerly  a  preceptory  of  Knights  Templars,  to

it  afterwards  belonged  to  the  Hospitallers.

Mrs.  G.  ]\I.  \\'atson,  of  Maltby  House,  Cleveland,  Stockton-on- 
Tees,  was  kind  enough  to  write  the  compiler  something  aljout  the 
village  of  Maltby,  and  we  append  extracts  from  her  letter : 

'•It  is  only  a  small  village  with  a  few  outlying  farms  of  about 
one  hundred  and  forty  inhabitants,  in  the  township  of  Stainton.  It 
consists  of  some  nice  cottages,  and  three  or  four  larger  houses  and 
the  house  I  occupy  is  the  largest.  In  referring  to  the  history  of 
Cleveland,  we  find  little  in  ancient  records  concerning  this  place 
except  that  at  an  early  period  it  gave  names  to  a  resident  family.

family  was  in  possession  for  several  generations,  till  by  failure  of 
male  issue  part  of  the  estate  passed  to  others.  It  is  now  in  the

The  History  of  Cleveland  by  Rev.  John  Graves,  has  the  fol- 
lowing account : 

"The  Parish  of  Stainton  consists  of  the  several  townships  of 
Stainton,  Maltby  and  others. 

"Maltby  lies  about  a  mile  to  the  west  of  Stainton.  The  village 
is  small,  consisting  of  a  few  farm  houses  and  cottages  situated  on 
the  summit  of  a  gently  elevated  ridge.

alverated  to  the  Pennymans  of  Ormsby.  The  other  morety  of  their

of  Christopher  Maltby,  Esq.,  Alderman  of  York."

MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  181 

it  seems  likely  that  they  took  their  name  from  the  land  on  which 
they  dwelt,  the  common  practice  at  that  time. 

"At  first  one  name  was  considered  entirely  sufficient  for  an 
individual,  but  as  the  population  increased  the  necessity  for  some 
added  designation  became  urgent;  and  the  surname  was  the  result. 
It  came  into  use  in  dififerent  countries  at  different  times. 

"In  England  surnames  came  into  general  use  about  the  time 
of  the  Norman  Conquest,  before  which  time  some  added  sobriquets 
or  epithets,  and  perhaps  a  few  heridatary  surnames  were  used,  bur 
they  were  first  recorded  in  the  public  documents  at  this  time,  and 
became  essential  for  the  identification  of  the  individual  hereafter." 

(p.   15).     "Our  ancestor  took  the  name  of  the  place  Maltby. 

"Guffy  classifies  the  name  Maltby  as  English  or  Welsh,  and 
says  it  is  to  be  found  at  present  in  three  counties  of  England :  Derby- 
shire (7),  Lincolnshire  (8),  Nottingham  (24).  [The  numbers  in- 
dicate there  are  about  that  many  in  16,000  inhabitants.] 

The  following  explanation  given  by  Miss  Barnard  of  the  term 
freemen  will  be  found  very  interesting: 

(page  16).  "The  freeman  is  he  who  possesses  enough  land  to 
feed  himself  and  family.  He  aided  in  the  government,  making, 
applying  and  executing  the  laws,  and  as  a  burger  was  one  of  the 
representatives  to  the  national  parliament. 

"If  a  freeman  became  the  owner  of  one  hide  (from  33  to  120 
acres)  of  arrable  land  (with  which  he  would  be  entitled  to  a  pro- 
portionate amount  of  meadow  and  forest  for  his  horses,  cattle  and 
hogs)  he  was  elected  a  noble  or  earl  by  his  fellow  freemen  and 
then  became  eligible  to  be  elected  priest,  judge  or  king. 

"Below  the  freemen  in  the  social  scale  were  the  stranger,  the 
freedman  and  the  serf." 

We  give  one  or  two  more  facts  concerning  the  name  ?\Ialtby 
and  thf,  numerous  ways  in  which  it  is  spelled.  "Maulsby  Geneal- 
ogy-" P-  349: 

"There  is  at  least  presumptive  evidence  that  the  surname  Maltby 
arose  independently  in  each  of  the  three  places,  as  it  is  found  as 
De  Malteby  on  the  Rotuli  Hundredorumb  1273  in  both  Norfolk 
and  Lincolnshire,  and  as  De  Maltby  on  the  Poll  Tax  List  of  the 
West  Riding  of  Yorkshire  in  1379." 

Descendants  will  please  note  the  followin<? — for  many  of  us  have 
been  skeptical  as  to  the  Mawtby's  of  Norfolk  being  of  the  same 
name  as  Maltby. 

"The  Norfolk  Malteby  became  Maultby  and  then  Mautby  and 
as  a  surname  further  deteriorated  into  Mawbie  and  Mawby. 


182  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

"The  name  Maltby  indicates  a  Danish   settlement  in  which  the 
malster  phed  his  ancient  trade. 

"The  prototheme  is  Old  Xorse  malt,  which  is  cognate  in 
etymology  and  identical  in  meaning  with  the  old  Saxon  malt ;  the 
Old  Kigh  German,  Middle  High  German  and  German  malz;  the 
Middle  Low  German  molt  and  malt ;  the  Dutch  mout ;  the  Danish 
and  Swedish  malt;  Anglo  Saxon  mealt ;  (p.  350)  Middle  English 
malte,  mault  and  malt,  and  the  Scotch-English  maut. 

"The  denterotheme  By  is  our  most  common  Scandinavian  suf- 
fix in  place-names,  and  is  an  infallible  proof  that  the  Dane  was  once 
in  the  land.  It  appears  in  Danish  and  Swedish  as  By ;  in  Norwe- 
gian as  Bo;  in  Old  Norse  as  Bast  and  Bry,  and  was  loaned  into 
Anglo-Saxon  as  By  or  Bye.  It  is  derived  from  the  old  Norse  Bua, 
"to  dwell,"  and  originally  denoted  a  "dwelling,"  then  a  "farmstead" 
and  later  "a  village  or  town."  Domesday  Book  tom.  II.,  fol.  134b." 
This  very  comprehensive  philological  account  of  the  name 
Maltby,  explains  conclusively  why  the  name  is  claimed  as  Danish, 
Swedish,  Norwegian  and  English.  It  should  also  settle  the  ques- 
tion as  to  the  correct  way  of  spelling  the  name. 

In  compiling  the  Maltby  Genealogy  it  has  been  clearly  shown 
that  where  members  of  the  same  famil}-  resided  in  close  proximity  an 
endeavor  was  made  for  one  family  to  change  the  spelling  of  the 
name.  This  is  not  only  true  of  the  English  families  but  is  practiced 
in  our  own  times  in  the  States,  where  in  one  instance  Maltbey  is 
used  as  a  distinctive  mark ;  another  uses  Malby  and  a  third  Molby, 
although  they  unquestionably  belong  to  the  same  Maltby  family. 

A  few  extracts  from  personal  letters  to  the  compiler  are  ap- 
pended :  they  come  from  Englishmen  conversant  with  genealogical 
matters,  who  were  kind  enough  to  offer  suggestions  concerning 
English  research  work. 

Hylton  B.  Dale.  Esq.,  writes  :  "In  searching  indexes  for  the  name 
(i.  e.  Maltby)  it  is  as  well  to  look  under  'Man'  as  weW  as  'Mai,'  as 
the  name  was  frequently  spelled  'Mauteby.'  " 

"The  name  Maltby  is  rare." — J.  Harvey  Bloom. 
"The  Mautebys,   Mawtbys  or  ^laultbys  were  an  old   Norfolk 
family." — Reginald  C.  Duddine. 

"There  was  a  good  family  of  the  name  with  a  pedigree  entered 
in  one  of  the  i6th  or  17th  Visitations  of  Yorkshire.  In  the  19th 
Century  there  were  families  of  the  name  in  Lincolnshire.  Notts  and 
Derbyshire ;  but  in  the  last  named  county  it  certainly  is  not  an  ancient 
name,  for  there  are  no  Maltby  Wills  at  Lichfield  down  to  about  1630. 


AIALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  183 

I  have  never  met  with  the  name  in  Warwickshire  or  Staffordshire." 
— Wilham  F.  Carter. 

"Maltby  is  quite  a  characteristic  surname  of  the  Vale  of  Belvoir 
district,  and  is  frequent  also  in  the  more  central  parts  of  Notting- 
ham. One  of  their  principal  'habitats'  was  Orston,  a  village  east  of 
the  Trent,  about  twelve  or  fourteen  miles  from  Nottingham.  Here 
lived  a  family  of  that  name,  of  yeoman  rank,  for  several  centuries 
— indeed,  there  is,  I  think,  still  a  Alaltby  farming  in  that  parish. 
.  .  .  The  name  Alaltby  also  occurs  in  the  i6th  and  17th  cen- 
turies in  the  parish  registers  of  several  parishes  in  the  district  be- 
tween the  river  Trent  and  Southwell." — Thomas  M.  Blagg. 

"All  the  Maltbys  in  Notts  and  Derbyshire  are  connected.  They 
come  from  one  common  stock.  The  Maltby  family  is  one  of  the 
oldest  in  the  midlands  .  .  .  Hoveringham  branch  .  .  .  this 
branch  was  related  to  the  IJrough  ^laltbys  also  the  Alaltbys  of 
Hickling  and  others  of  the  name  at  P»awtry  (Yorks).  .  .  ." — 
Edward  C.  Harte. 


^lALTBY  CHAPEL 

The  following  poem  was  cut  from  the  Xew  York  "Independent" 
in  1867  or  1868  by  Miss  Martha  J.  Maltby.  It  was  one  of  the  "Sex- 
ton's Tales  and  Other  Poems"  of  the  first  collected  edition  of  the 
poems  of  Theodore  Tilton,  issued  by  Sheldon  &  Co.,  New  York. 
Maltby  Chapel  was  very  evidently  what  is  now  the  restored  church 
of  St.  Bartholomew  at  IMaltbv. 


I. 
'  Maltby  Chapel,  as  you  know, 
Fell  two  hundred  years  ago. 
Hardly  now  is  left  a  stone ; 
Save  upon  the  graves  alone. 
If  your  feet  should  chance  to  pass 
Weary  through  the  churchyard  grass. 
Rest  them  by  a  marble  tomb, 
Crumbling  over  bride  and  groom. 
Who,  when  they  were  hardly  wed. 
Found  the  grave  their  bridal-bed.

'  Flowering  in   the  wall   on  high. 

Like   a  garden   in   the   sky, 

Stood  a  window  of  the  fane

184  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

Lights  of  purple,  blue  and  red, 

Down  through  nave  and  aisle  were  shed. 

Central  in  the  fair  design 

Hung  the  Sorrowing  Man  divine. 

Near  him,  gazing,  knelt  or  stood 

Mary's  weeping  sisterhood; 

Next  with  colors  interchanged. 

Holy  emblems  'round  were   ranged; 

First  a  light  and  then  a  dark: — 

Here  the  lion  of  St.  Mark ; 

There  the  eagle  of   St.  John ; 

Cherub  heads   with  pinions  on ; 

Virgin  lilies,  white  as  frost; 

Palm  and  olive  branches,  crossed. 

Picture  of  Paschal  Lamb  ; 

Letters  of  the  great  I  Am. 

Last  and  topmost.  Cross  and  Crown 

And  a  white  Dove  flying  down. 

Such  a  window,  in  the  light, 

Was  itself  a  wondrous  sight; 

But  the  eyes  that  on  it  gazed 

Saw  devoutly,  as  it  blazed, 

Not  the  purple  panes  alone ; 

Not  the  sun  that  through  them  shone, 

But,  beyond  the  lucent  wall, 

Heaven  itself  outshining  all. 


III. 
"  Up  through  ]\Ialtby"s  dusty  road 
Cromwell  and  his  pikemen  strode — 
Six  and  twenty  hundred  strong — 
Roaring  forth  a  battle-song; 
Who,  in  marching  to  the  fray. 
Passed  the  chapel  on  their  way ; 
Never   dreaming  how,   inside, 
Knelt  a  bridegroom  and  his  bride, — 
She  the  daughter  of  a  peer; 
He  a  knight  and  cavalier. 
Quoth  the  leader  :  "Rub  the  stains 
Out  of  yonder  painted  panes.' 
Glancing  at  a  mark  to   strike. 
Then  a  pikeman  raised  his  pike, 
Drew  it  back  half  its  length. 
Sent  it  whizzing  through  the  air. 
Sped  it  with  a  pious  prayer. 
Winged   it   with   a   holy   curse. 
Barbed  it  with  a  Scripture  verse ; 
Heard  it  crash  through  pane  and  sash, 
"Till  above  the  tinkling  crash. 
Loud  his  shouting  mates  exclaimed : 
'  Bravo,  Ironsides  !     Well  aimed  !

IV. 

"  Like  the  spear  that  pierced  the  side 
Of  the  Saviour  crucified. 
So  the  v^reapon  that  was  hurled 
Smote  the  Saviour  of  the  world; 
Tearing  out  the  sacred  tree 
Where  he  hung  for  you  and  me; 
Curving  downward,   flying   fast 
Where   the   streaming  rays   were  cast; 
Flashing  from  the  shaft  each  hue 
Which  it  caught  in  quivering  through; 
Plunging  to  the  bridal  pair, 
While  they  yet  were  bent  in  prayer ; 
Then,   like   Death's  own   dart, 
Pierced  the  maiden  to  the  heart. 
Back  she  fell  against  the  floor, 
Lying  crimson  in  her  gore, 
"Till  her  bloodless   face  grew   pale 
Like  the  whiteness  of  her  veil. 


Years   may  come  and  years   may  go, 
Ere  a  mortal  man  shall  know 
Such  a  more  tlian  mortal  pain 
As  the  knight  felt  in  his  brain. 
Long  he  knelt  beside  the  dead, 
Long  he  kissed  her  face  and  head, 
Long  he  clasped  her  pulseless  palm, 
He  in  tempest,  she  in  calm : 
Stricken  by  his  anguish  dumb, 
Neither  words  nor  tears  would  come; 
'Till    at    last    with    groan    and    shriek, 
Brokenly  he  thus  did  speak : 
'  O,   sweet  body,   turned   to   clay — 
Since  thy  soul  has  fled  away. 
Let  this  lingering  soul  of  mine 
Lift  its  wings  and  fly  to  thine  : — 
Wed  us  in  Thy  Heavens,  O  Lord !' 
Rose  he  then,  and  drew  his  sword. 
Braced  his   hilt   against   the   wood 
Of  the  altar  where  he  stood ; 
Leaned  his  breast  against  its  point. 
Stiffened   every   limb   and   joint. 
Clenched  his  hands  about  the  blade; 
Muttered  words   as  if  he  prayed,— 
Then,  with  one  ecstatic  breath. 
Cast  himself  upon  his  death.

Both  could  slumber  side  by  side,

Fiery  as  a  stag  at  bay ; 
Made  a  dim  defense,  but  vain, — 
Then  in  darkness  and  in  rain. 
Fearful  of  the  morrow's  fight, 
Stole  away  at  dead  of  night. 
When  the  Roundheads  saw  with   rage 
How  the  birds  had  quit  the  cage. 
They,  in  spite,  with  blow  on  blow, 
Fought  the  chapel  for  a  foe.

It  is  a  bromidic  saying  that  no  two  people  see  the  same  thing 
in  the  same  way,  and  as  this  is  obviously  trite  we  are  publishing  three 
accounts  of  visits  to  the  hamlet  of  Maltby,  Yorkshire,  feeling  con- 
fident that  all  Maltbys  will  find  new  viewpoints,  dififerent  observa- 
tions in  each  article,  which  are  of  individual  interest. 

The  first  article  is  by  INIiss  Martha  J.  Maltby,  of  Columbus, 
Ohio,  who  visited  Maltby  in  1895.  This  account  appeared  in  Maltby 
Booklet  No.  2  and  is  reprinted  here  for  the  benefit  of  those  who  were 
unable  to  obtain  the  booklet  owing  to  the  entire  sale  of  the  issue 
shortly  after  publication. 

The  second  accotmt  was  contained  in  a  personal  letter  to  the 
compiler  from  Miss  Marion  Davenport  Maltbie  of  Syracuse,  a  cousin 
of  the  late  Dr.  Maltbie  Davenport  Babcock,  and  a  lineal  descendant 
from  Ormud  de  Dauneport,  who  was  born  in  1086.  Miss  Maltbie 
visited  Maltby  in  the  summer  of  1909. 

Our  third  account  of  Maltby  was  written  from  Rotherham, 
Yorkshire,  by  Mrs.  Neavando  A.  Eldvado.  to  her  mother,  Mrs. 
James  T.  Hoblit  and  at  the  request  of  the  compiler.  Mrs.  Hoblit 
consented  to  allow  its  publication.

188  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— AIALTBIE 

A  DAY  AT  MALTBY,  WEST  RIDING,  YORKSHIRE 
By  Miss  Martha  J.  Maltby 

When  in  York,  in  1885,  a  gentleman  remarked  upon  introduc- 
tion. "There  is  a  parish  in  Yorkshire  by  your  name.''  I  was  at 
once  all  attention,  but  succeeded  only  in  learning  that  it  was  an 
ordinary  English  hamlet  which  he  had  once  visited  in  the  West 
Riding. 

In  1895  a  chance  meeting  with  an  English  bishop  brought  the 
second  bit  of  information,  for  he  remarked,  upon  learning  my  name, 
"My  first  living  was  the  parish  of  Maltby  and  I  remember  it  with 
pleasure."  But  our  ways  parted  before  I  could  learn  much  more, 
or  more  helpful  knowledge  as  to  how  to  find  the  place,  for  no  guide 
book  I  have  seen  has  it  mentioned  and  I  knew  of  no  railway  guide 
with  its  name  on  it.  So  when  a  fortunate  chance  found  me  in  Dur- 
ham and  with  the  opportunity  of  questioning  the  learned  archaeolo- 
gist, Canon  Greenwell,  the  president  of  the  British  Archaeological 
Society,  and  he  too  referred  to  the  parish  in  connection  with  my 
r.ame,  then  I  learned  what  I  had  long  wished  to  ascertain ;  i.  e.,  how 
could  Maltby  be  found? 

He  had  visited  the  hamlet  on  an  archaeological  excursion  and 
remembered  it  had  an  old  church  tower  and  he  gave  the  much  de- 
sired information  concerning  the  way. 

A  few  days  later  my  friend  and  traveling  companion  and  I 
broke  our  journey  southward  at  Doncaster,  took  a  train  westward 
for  a  few  miles,  leaving  it  at  Conisboro  for  a  seven  mile  drive 
southward  from  that  station  for  Maltby. 

Let  me  note  in  passing  that  Conisboro  is  known  for  its  well 
preserved  Norman  tower  of  the  castle  which  Sir  Walter  Scott 
makes  the  scene  of  the  tournament  in  "Ivanhoe."  which  Rebecca 
reports  to  the  knight.  The  short  way  for  our  trap  and  driver  gave 
us  the  opportunity  to  look  at  the  tower. 

Unfortunately  a  drizzling  rain  set  in  as  we  started  for  ]\Ialtby 
which  is  situated  up  a  valley  from  Conisboro  and  the  mist  shut  from 
sight  some  of  what  must  have  been  a  charming  view  in  the  heart 
of  north  English  country,  could  we  have  seen  it  in  the  distance. 
The  road  wound  along  between  stone  walks  and  English  hedges 
and  fertile  farms,  growing  wheat,  barley  and  turnips  and  with  pas- 
turage for  cattle  and  sheep,  lay  on  both  sides  of  the  way.  The 
farmhouses  had  the  appearance  of  comfortable  prosperity  and  from 
their  scattered  positions  we  judged  the  farms  were  large  in  acreage. 
Two  or  three  hamlets  lay  on  the  way  and  one  had  an  ancient  stone 
cross  to  testify  of  its  age. 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— AIALTBIE  189 

The  village  school  had  just  closed  for  the  day  as  we  drove 
through  Maltby  village  to  the  church  whose  spire  we  had  seen  in 
the  distance.  To  our  driver's  question  of  "Where  he  should  take 
us?"  we  had  responded,  "To  the  church,  of  course." 

Our  trip  had  excited  sufficient  interest  in  the  school  children 
for  some  of  them  to  follow  us  and  gather  about  the  two  American 
women,  who  had  left  the  carriage  and  were  admiring  the  oaken 
Lychgate,  built  in  the  ancient  style  and  forming  a  beautiful  entrance 
to  the  churchyard.  They  were  as  ready  to  answer  questions  as  we 
to  ask  them.  The  sexton  was  mowing  the  churchyard  and  we  knew 
the  church  was  open  as  we  could  hear  the  organ  and  we  soon  found 
our  time  of  visit  was  auspicious  for  the  organist  and  some  of  the 
leading  parishioners  were  in  the  church  and  they  too  were  willing 
to  give  information  to  the  strangers. 

The  church  itself  is  only  some  fifty  years  of  age  and  is  neat 
and  pleasing  in  appearance,  but  the  tower  onto  which  it  is  built,  is 
very  interesting  and  well  worth  seeing.  It  shows  some  four  stages 
in  building  and  must  be  very  old.  The  lowest  part  is  doubtless 
Saxon,  having  the  heron-bone  stone  work  about  three  feet  from  the 
ground.  Bits  of  what  look  like  Roman  bricks  are  scattered  along 
promiscuously  in  the  stone  wall.  High  up  from  the  foundation  are 
small  windows.  A  large  modern  window  has  been  placed  in  the 
western  side  of  the  tower.  The  walls  are  very  thick  and  are  strong 
and  well  built. 

The  sexton  told  us  that  when  removing  the  old  church,  they 
found  its  walls  so  firm  that  the  workmen  used  powder  to  blow  them 
up.  The  tower's  first  story  is  some  thirty  or  forty  feet  in  height. 
The  second  one  is  only  some  over  a  third  as  high,  and  has  small, 
narrow  windows  on  three  sides.  The  third  is  dififerent  and  its 
double  windows  look  like  Norman  work.  This  story  ends  with  a 
paneled  battlement.  A  fourteenth  century  looking  stone  spire  has 
been  built  above  this.  I  can  give  no  authority  for  my  opinion  that 
this  tower  was  some  centuries  in  building  but  judge  this  is  true 
from  illustrations  in  books  on  English  architecture. 

I  have  often  wished  I  might  have  seen  Canon  Greenwell  again 
after  the  visit  to  Maltby  for  I  am  sure  he  would  have  refreshed  his 
memory  of  his  visit  there  and  given  me  valuable  information. 

The  sexton  opened  the  old  chest  in  the  vestry  room  to  allow 
us  to  see  the  old  records.  The  very  oldest  were  written  on  parch- 
ment and  were  mildewed  with  age.  I  thought  I  could  decipher  one 
date  as  1609  but  I  am  not  sure. 


190  MALTBY— FA^IILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

We  could  not  learn  that  anyone  of  the  name  of  Maltby  was 
resting-  in  the  churchyard,  or  lived  in  the  parish,  within  the  sexton's 
memory,  nor  had  he  ever  heard  of  the  name  in  the  records.  On 
the  last  subject  he  would  hardly  be  authority.  He  showed  us  some 
very  old  carved  stones,  one  of  which  is  supposed  to  have  been  the 
cross  of  the  bishop  who  consecrated  the  first  of  the  three  churches 
to  stand  on  the  site  of  the  present  one. 

The  headstones  in  the  churchyard  did  not  look  old  and  their 
dates  were  not  such,  while  the  names  they  bore  were  ordinary 
English  names. 

We  were  told  that  in  digging  for  the  foundations  of  a  new 
house  in  the  south  of  the  village,  the  workmen  found  graves  and 
it  was  thought  that  the  ground  belonged  to  an  ancient  burial  place. 

The  old  market  cross  testifies  to  the  age  of  the  hamlet.  It 
was  surrounded  by  flower  beds  and  occupied  a  small  plot  of  ground 
in  the  heart  of  the  town. 

The  houses  of  the  village  are  simple  and  plain  but  comfort- 
able, with  the  cleanly  air  so  common  in  England.  The  streets  were 
narrow  but  clean.  The  whole  town  looked  like  a  conservative  old 
English  place,  as  it  is,  wnth  trees  about  its  boundaries  and  in  the 
lawns  of  the  larger  houses. 

Maltby  Hall  is  an  old  place  with  some  fine  trees  about  it.  We 
did  not  enter  it  as  the  hour  w^as  growin-^^-  late  and  we  had  a  train 
to  catch  in  Conisboro  for  our  return  and  our  journey  on  to  Lincoln 
that  night. 

Some  weeks  later,  in  the  Library  of  the  British  Museum  I 
found  what  I  copied  there  and  give  with  this  for  your  information. 

It  was  nearly  dark  when  we  were  set  down  at  the  railway  station 
and  the  hour  was  decidedly  late  when  I  finished  writing  in  my  diary 
and  turned — a  tired,  happy  woman — to  retire.  I  had  seen  Maltby 
parish.  Whether  there  is  any  connection  between  it  and  the  Maltby 
name,  who  can  tell  us. 

The  followino;  is  copied  from  "Kelly  Directory  of  West  Riding 
of  Yorkshire,  Eneland,  1897,"  i"  the  Library  of  the  British  Museum,

"The  church  of  St.  Bartholomew  is  a  plain  building  of  stone 
in  Gothic  style  and  was  rebuilt  with  the  exception  of  the  tower 
in  1859  on  the  site  of  the  former  church.     It  consists  of  a  chancel.

three  bells. 

"There  are  several  memorial  windows,  lecturn,  organ  and  lych- 
gate  of  carved  oak  and  a  lychstone  which  were  given  by  Miss 
Crossley  and  Miss  Mary  Crossley  in  1880.  The  lychgate  and  stone 
were  given  in  memory  of  their  mother.

"Two  miles  southeast  are  the  ruins  of  the  once  magnificent 
Abbey  of  Roche  or  de  Rupe,  founded  in  1147  by  Richard  de  Busti 
and  Richard  Fitz-Tugis  for  monks  of  Cistercian  order  and  dedi- 
cated to  the  Blessed  Virgin  Mary. 

"A  natural  phenomenon  heightened  by  art  probably  induced 
the  monks  to  settle  in  this  rocky  limestone  valley.  A  fracture  in 
the  rocks  bearing  some  resemblance  to  Our  Saviour  on  the  cross 
was  held  in  great  reverence  during  the  whole  period  of  the  exist- 
ence of  the  abbey.  Henry  Crandall,  the  28th  and  last  abbot  sur- 
rendered the  abbey  with  seventeen  monks  and  a  yearly  revenue  of 
£271-1 1-4  to  Dugdale.  Henry  VIII.  granted  to  Wm.  Ramesden  and 
Thomas  Valasor  the  ruin  of  the  once  extensive  and  splendid  abbey. 
The  Earl  of  Scarborough  has  made  some  excavations  in  the  ruins. 

"Sandbeck  Park,  two  and  one-half  miles  southeast  of  the  vil-

FI\'E  DAYS  AT  MALTBY,  YORKSHIRE 

Syracuse,  Xew  York. 

October  20th,  1909. 
My  dear  Mrs.  Verrill : — 

How  I  wish  you  might  have  been  with  me  this  summer  while 
I  spent  five  days  in  the  charming  httle  EngHsh  village  which  bears 
our  name.  They  call  it  in  Yorkshire  the  "Queen  of  Villages."  It 
deserves  the  title !  So  quaint  and  interesting,  preserving  all  the  char- 
acteristics of  a  typical  old-time  English  story-book  town. 

First  I  must  tell  you  that  when  I  was  in  Chester,  the  people 
in  the  hotel  on  hearing  my  name  at  once  said,  "There  is  a  Maltby  in 
our  long-distance  'phone  book,"  and  I  had  them  call  them  for  me, 
just  for  fun,  at  Rhye,  down  on  the  west  coast  of  England.  Such 
astonished  people  as  they  were  to  know  that  a  Maltbie  from  America 
was  on  her  way  to  Maltby  in  England.  They  were  evidently  plain 
people ;  the  man,  who  is  a  butcher  was  not  there,  but  his  wife,  with 
whom  I  spoke  was  as  pleasant  as  could  be  but  knew  very  little  about 
the  family.  They  were  the  only  people  of  the  name  I  heard  of  in 
England. 

From  Chester  I  went  to  York  and  from  York  back  to  Rother- 
ham.  In  the  book  shops  there  I  found  beautiful  postcards  of  Maltby 
and  its  surroundings.  From  there,  while  I  waited  for  the  quaint 
old  lumbering  bus,  which  runs  on  certain  days  to  my  dear  little 
town,  I  took  trams,  first  to  huge  and  dirty  Sheffield.  It  is  like  Pitts- 
burgh. Then  to  Masboro,  a  pretty  little  suburb  of  Rotherham. 
Rotherham  itself  has  an  interesting  history.  All  the  country  there- 
abouts has,  from  Chester  and  York  with  their  old  walls  and  gates 
and  cathedrals  and  towers  to  Scrooby,  ten  miles  or  so  the  other  side 
of  Maltby  where  Elder  Brewster  was  born  and  the  first  Pilgrim 
church  organized. 

I  left  my  friends  in  York  and  went  to  Maltby  alone.  It  was 
quite  an  adventure.  If  you  could  have  seen  that  old  stage  (looked 
like  a  "prairie  schooner")  with  seats  along  the  sides  and  old  ladies 
and  baskets  and  boxes  and  bundles  all  crowded  in  together.  One 
had  to  go  to  an  old  inn  yard  in  Rotherham  to  wait  for  the  stage 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— .MALTBIE  193 

driver  to  "poot  oot  the  horses."  I  heard  real  Yorkshire  dialect 
there,  driving  out.  There  were  five  old  ladies,  one  small  boy,  the 
driver,  piles  of  luggage  and  myself.  It  was  so  funny  when  we  rattled 
up  the  queer  old-fashioned  street,  out  of  the  inn  yard  where  hung 
the  old  lamp  and  the  arms — everything  seemed  unreal — and  far  from 
the  busy  world.  The  old  ladies  wore  silk  mantillas  ( I  think  that  is 
it)   and  bonnets  like  this. 

(We  regret  we  can  not  here  reproduce  Aliss  ]\Ialtbie's  clever  marginal 
illustration  of  the  type  of  old  ladies.) 

They  all  had  volumes  to  say  about  ]\laltby.  but  had  never  heard 
of  a  person  of  the  name.  They  wanted  to  know  all  about  America. 
When  we  stopped  at  other  little  villages  along  the  seven-mile  drive 
to  Alaltby,  out  came  from  this  inn  or  that,  a  pretty  barmaid  (just 
like  Dickens)  to  take  your  order  for  a  "wee  glass  ma'am."  The  old 
ladies  took  something  as  a  matter  of  course,  but  I  went  thirsty, 
though  I  did  have  two  or  three  glasses  of  English  ale  in  Maltby. 
The  small  boy  told  me  all  about  his  home  and  the  chickens  he  was 
raising  and  about  the  queer  piece  of  American  money — a  cent — he 
owned.  He  and  I  sat  on  the  box  seat  and  "Jawhnny."  the  driver, 
told  us  about  the  country  places  as  we  went  along,  in  such  a  broad 
dialect,  I  had  to  listen  with  all  my  mind  as  well  as  my  ears  to  under- 
stand. Fancy  how  entertained  I  was  with  it  all  and  especially  when 
"Jawhnny"  informed  me  that  the  "American  chilled  ploo  (plough) 
ware  na  goot — toorned  te  ert  opp  taw  mooch." 

Note. — '"Turned  the  earth  up  too  much."  We  believe  that  the  English 
do  not  plough  as  deep  as  we  do  in  the  States,  as  the  climate  is  not  so,  severe 
and  it  is  not  necessary. 

You  see  the  "chilled  plough"  is  made  here  in  Syracuse  by  an 
old  friend  of  my  mother's.  I  told  my  Yorkshire  friend  I'd  tell  Air. 
Chase  he  didn't  like  the  ploughs. ' 

When  we  reached  Maltby  the  old  ladies  vied  with  one  another 
in  suggesting  what  I  should  do  for  a  boarding  place.  Wanted  me 
to  stay  with  them,  but  I  went  to  the  "White  Swan  Inn."  It  has 
been  there  five  hundred  years.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Bishop,  the  landlord 
and  his  wife,  were  so  nice  and  did  everything  to  make  my  stay  pleas- 
ant and  interesting.  ]\Ir.  Bishop  is  an  ex-English  soldier,  invalided 
home  from  the  Boer  War,  but  pretty  well  now. 

A  huge  fire  in  the  diningroom  fireplace  cheered  and  warmed 
me.  for  I  was  cold  that  August  evening.  It  was  all  just  a  picture. 
Mrs.  Bishop  just  took  care  of  me.  She  has  Irish  blood  and  conse- 
quently the  delightful  and  winning  ways  that  come  with  it.     Though 


194

ihey  have  a  gas  plant  which  Hghts  the  larger  rooms  down  stairs,  I 
went  to  my  room  with  its  pretty  fireplace  by  candle  light — much  nicer. 
It  was  a  strange  sensation  and  seemed  almost  like  getting  home. 
You  see  I  am  doubly  Maltbie,  because  both  my  father  and  mother 
were  Maltbies ;  so  if  there  is  anything  in  the  call  of  the  blood  I 
ought  to  have  felt  it  there — and  I  did. 

If  you  have  ever  gone  rapidly  from  place  to  place  for  almost 
three  months,  seeing  daily  the  most  wonderful  sights,  historical  and 
artistic  as  well  as  Nature's  own  marvelous  pictures  of  peoples  and 
countries,  you  know  how  welcome  is  a  halt.     I  cannot  tell  you  how 


MALTBY  HALL 


glad  I  was  to  be  far  away  from  trams  and  trains  and  busy  crowds 
and  just  rest  and  do  nothing  some  of  the  time  there  in  peaceful  little 
Maltby. 

Sunday  morning  I  went  to  the  historic  church  and  listened  to 
a  sermon  given  to  a  small  handful  of  people.  But  what  I  most  en- 
joyed was  wandering  about  the  church  and  churchyard  by  myself. 
The  sexton,  of  course,  got  out  all  the  records  in  the  little  tin  box 
Miss  Martha  Maltby  speaks  of.  and  we  could  make  out  Latin  records 
back  of  1600.  However,  at  that  time  most  of  the  people  were  sim- 
ply spoken  of  as  John  de  Maltby  or  Jane  de  Maltby.  no  surnames 
given.     It  cannot  "be  proved  who  were  Maltby  by  name  or  who  just 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  195 

so  and  so  of  Maltby.  After  the  records  began  to  be  in  English  it 
was  easy  to  read  but  in  the  memory  of  the  oldest  inhabitant  no 
Maltby  has  lived  there  or  been  buried  there.  The  church  was  burned 
once  and  many  records  destroyed,  and  these  old  parchment  books 
are  not  being  carefully  preserved.  In  the  city  of  York,  duplicates 
would  possibly  be  found.  .  .  .  Miss  Maltbie  here  tells  of  her  trip, 
she  visited  ten  countries,  and  found  them  all  "wonderfully  inter- 
esting, but  England  was  home." 

To  return  to  Maltby.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Bishop  owned  five  "blue 
ribbon"  English  carts  and  ponies  and  they  drove  me  miles  (one 
day  twenty-five)  over  those  perfect  pavement-like  English  country 
roads  to  Old  Cote  and  Scrooby,  where  we  lunched,  then  on  to  Baw- 
try,  two  miles  from  Scrooby.  It  was  Johnathan  Maltby  of  Bawtry 
whose  name  I  remember  seeing  in  our  large  Genealogy. 

It  is  an  attractive  town  and  so  near  to  Scrooby  where  Elder 
Brewster  lived  and  preached  that  no  doubt  our  ancestors  knew  those 
old  Scrooby  Pilgrimites.  They  were  repairing  the  old  Scrooby 
Manor,  where  Elder  Brewster  was  born,  and  the  woman  who  lives 
there  now  gave  me  a  piece  of  the  old  oak  beam.  I  treasure  it,  I 
assure  you. 

Back  of  this  very  old  building  ( It  was  originally  some  five  hun- 
dred years  ago,  a  Catholic  monastery ;  think  of  the  irony  of  fate 
which  made  it  the  home  of  the  Pilgrim  church)  is  a  little  creek 
which  flows  into  the  River  Trent,  and  down  that  creek  and  river 
floated  the  Pilgrims  and  thence  across  the  English  Channel  to 
Leyden  and  so  to  America.  We  had  not  time  in  Bawtry  to  look  up 
church  records  for  the  Maltby  name,  but  the  Bishops  have  promised 
me  they  will  go  and  do  it  some  time.  Then  we  went  to  Canisboro 
and  Tickhill — where  are  the  old  castles — and  Stone,  another  village. 
Another  day  I  walked  over  to  Roche  Abbey,  over  the  stone  and 
wooden  stiles,  along  Maltby  Crags,  through  the  beautiful  Norwoods 
and  back  around  by  the  road.  A  five  mile  tramp.  Some  people  I 
met  got  the  "History  of  Roche  Abbey"  from  the  Rotherham  safe 
for  me  to  read.  It  tells  in  that,  that  all  that  land  was  held  by  the 
Earl  of  Merton.  brother  of  William  the  Conqueror ;  he  also  held 
much  land  in  Lincolnshire  and  there,  is  a  town  of  Maltby  there. 
Do  you  suppose  there  is  any  connection  in  these  facts? 

^laltby  is  on  the  direct  road  from  London  to  York.  Dozens  of 
automobiles  fly  through  and  scores  of  cycles,  motor  and  otherwise. 
Most  of  them  stop  at  the  White  Swan  for  rest  or  refreshment. 
Roche  Abbey,  which  Lord  Scarborough  keeps  open  on  certain  days, 
is  an  objective  point  for  many  parties  from  Sheffield,  Rotherham  and 
Doncaster.     Several  wealthy  people  from  these  cities  have  summer

homes  in  Alaltby.  You  know,  of  course,  that  the  stone  for  the 
Houses  of  Parhament  in  London,  was  brought  from  one  of  the  many 
fine  quarries  at  Maltby.  Now  they  are  mining  coal  on  Lord  Scar- 
borough's estate  and  speculators  plan  to  remodel  the  cunning  place. 
It  is  a  shame,  but  the  "love  of  money  is  the  root  of  all  evil." 

Two  railroads  are  near  to  Maltby  now.  One  station  two  miles 
and  another  a  mile  and  a  half.  No  passenger  trains  yet,  but  there 
will  be  in  time  and  our  quaint  little  place  will  all  be  changed. 

You  have  no  idea  how  strange  it  seemed  to  see  my  name  on  the 
mile  posts  all  over  the  county  of  Yorkshire.  Just  see  the  length  of 
this  letter — and  still  I  could  tell  you  more. 

If  any  of  the  Maltby  family  want  to  see  our  quaint  little  Maltby 
town  still  unspoiled,  let  them  hurry  over  to  England,  for  in  a  year 
or  two  many  changes  are  going  to  take  place  there  and  much  of 
the  charm  will  be  gone. 

I  forgot  to  tell  you — I  went  to  the  grammar  school  and  the 
children  recited  for  me.     The  first  hour  of  the  day  is  given  to  the 
study  of  the  catechism.     Isn't  that  English? 
Yours  most  sincerely, 

Marion  Davexport  Maltbii;. 

A  DRIVE  TO   :\IALTBY.   YORKSHIRE 

Rotherham,   17  June,  1910. 

.  .  .  Rotherham  is  indeed  a  dull  place,  but  I  found  that  not 
eight  miles  distant  was  the  village  of  Maltby,  and  a  mile  further  on, 
Roche  Abbey,  so  I  have  something  besides  Durham  Palace  about 
which  to  write.    .    .    . 

We  arrived  in  Rotherham  Sunday,  at  i  130  P.  M..  and  aftei 
dinner  Neavar  suggested  a  drive,  it  being  a  beautiful  day.  So 
he  rented  a  horse  and  trap  and  we  drove  to  Daltan  Village.  Here 
we  stopped  at  a  farmhouse  and  drank  some  fresh  milk  and  ate  some 
tea  cakes.  Then,  returning  to  town  by  a  different  route,  I  noticed 
a  signboard  which  read,  "7  miles  to  Maltby."  That  settled  it !  We 
must  go  to  Maltby ;  but  it  was  too  late  to  go  so  far,  so  we  set 
Thursday  for  our  "excursion"  into  the  past. 

Yesterday  being  the  appointed  day  (and  a  lovely  June  day, 
too)  we  set  out  for  Maltby  with  the  same  horse  and  trap ;  and  what 
a  fine  drive,  up  hill  and  down,  past  green  meadows  with  buttercups 
and  through  tiny  old-fashioned  villages.  At  last  we  came  to  Maltby 
— the  prettiest  old  village  of  all — the  Parish  church  nestling  down 
in  the  valley,  just  like  the  picture  postcard  I  sent  you.  I  wanted 
to  see  the  church  register  and  records  but  the  clerk  was  not  in  the 


^lALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  197 

village,  so  I  left,  disappointed  in  that  respect.  When  you  come  wc 
shall  go  together,  mother,  and  hunt  it  all  up.  We  next  went  to 
Maltby  Hall,  where  now  resides  Lady  Violet  Smithe.  The  Smithes, 
however,  were  not  "in  residence,"  so  I  saw  only  the  exterior  of 
the  Hall — a  charming  place,  in  whose  gardens  I  tried  to  picture 
Maltbys  strolling  about. 

But,  as  interested  as  I  was  in  Alaltby,  we  "tore  ourselves  away," 
to  drive  on  a  mile  further  to  Roche  Abbey.  A  steep,  winding  roadway 
leads  down  into  a  valley  in  which  stand  the  ruins  of  Roche  Abbey. 
This  is  the  most  beautiful  spot  in  Bnglaiid.  It  simply  beggars  de- 
scription. Such  a  vale,  with  rocky,  shaded,  fern  covered  banks,  and 
broad  green  pastures ;  such  myriads  of  wild  flowers,  brackets, 
springs,  and  waterfalls,  shade  and  sunlight,  and  in  the  midst  of  it

Mrs.  Eldorado  has  resided  abroad  for  some  years.  In  1909 
she  returned  to  London  after  having  made  an  extended  trip  to  South 
Africa  and  through  Northern  Europe.  When  the  above  letter  was 
written  she  was  touring  England  with  her  husband.  We  regret  we 
have  not  space  to  print  two  exceedingly  interesting  letters  written 
by  her  about  Durham — its  cathedral,  palace,  university  and  the  town. 

In  "Highways  and  Byways  in  Yorkshire,"  Arthur  H.  Norways 
says  of  Maltby :  "Deep  below  the  road  a  valley  runs,  closed  at  length 
by  the  shoulder  of  a  hill,  on  which  the  red-roofed  village  of  Maltby 
stands  shining  pleasantly  in  the  evening  sun.  It  is  a  pretty  spot. 
The  crags  are  fantastically  piled ;  a  few  sheep  go  browsing  in  and 
out  among  them,  and  from  the  depths  of  the  valley,  coming  out  of 
I  know  not  what  cool  region,  there  blows  a  keen  and  stimulating 
air,  growing  sharper  as  the  sun  drops  lower  in  the  sky.    ..."

Maltby  is  a  small  parish  town,  situated  four  miles  and  a  half 
from  Tickhill.  and  seven  and  a  half  from  Rotherham.     In  1821,  the 


198  MALTBY— FAMILY   HISTORY— MALTBIE 

population  of  this  town  amounted  to  six  hundred  and  seventy-nine 
persons. 

Maltby,  in  common  with  the  great  majority  of  our  villages, 
first  presents  itself  in  the  pages  of  Domesday.  We  there  find,  that 
in  the  time  of  the  Confessor,  Elsi  had  held  four  carucates  in  Maltebi 
and  Helgebi,  and  that  now  Roger  de  Busli  has  five  carucates  in 
demesne  and  thirteen  villains,  and  eighteen  borderers,  with  eighteen 
ploughs. 

The  manor  of  Hooton-Levit  consisted  of  three  carucates  and 
six  borates,  before  the  conquest ;  six  quaranteens  in  length  and  as 
many  broad.  Bugo  held  it.  (Query:  Should  this  not  be  Hugo?) 
He  was  superseded  by  the  Norman,  who  had  here  in  demesne  one 
carucate  and  there  were  eight  villains  and  three  borderers,  who  had 
three  carucates.  There  was  a  mill,  valued  at  28d.  It  is  now  the 
property  of  the  Earl  of  Scarborough. 

The  constitution  of  the  church  of  Maltby  was  peculiar.  The 
patrons  presented  a  rector,  but  the  rector  changed  his  office  into 
a  sinecure,  being  allowed  to  nominate  a  perpetual  vicar  for  the 
performance  of  parochial  duties.  A  vicarage  was  ordained  under 
the  circumstances  on  12  Ral.  Feb.,  1240,  when  there  was  assigned 
for  the  support  of  the  vicar,  the  altarage,  tithe  of  hay  and  of  the 
mills  and  four  marks  per  annum,  to  be  paid  by  the  rector. 

It  is  valued  in  the  Liber  regis  at  £4,  13s,  4d ;  in  the  parliamen- 
tary returns  at  £30,  and  is  in  the  patronage  of  the  Earl  of  Scar- 
borough. The  rectory  was  very  valuable.  In  Pope  Nicholas  Taxa- 
tion, it  is  estimated  at  £26,  13s,  4d.  The  presentation  of  the  vicar 
came,  at  the  dissolution,  to  the  crown. 

The  church,  which  is  dedicated  to  St.  Bartholomew,  comprises 
a  nave,  chancel  and  south  aisle,  with  a  tower  and  spire  at  the  west 
end.  It  is  a  small  and  mean  building,  forming  a  remarkable  con- 
trast to  the  once  magnificent  church  of  the  Cistertians,  wdio  had 
established  themselves  in  its  vicinity. 

Note. — The  church  has  l)een  rebuiU  and  restored  since  this  article  was 
written. 

When  Dodsworth  visited  the  church  these  arms  were  to  be  seen 
in  the  windows :

Dodsworth  also  transcribed  two  sepulchral  inscriptions  which  no 
longer  remain.*

was  founded  here  by  one  of  the  earls  of  Castleton,  and  is  repaired 
by  his  heirs. 

The  foundation  of  the  abbey  of  Sancta  Maria  de  Rupe,  or 
Roche  abbey,  was  the  most  splendid  act  of  piety  of  the  early  lords 
of  Maltby  and  Hooton.  But,  though  they  were  accounted  the 
founders,  because  they  gave  the  site,  the  monks  must  have  done 
much  for  themselves,  and  had  other  great  benefactors. 

No  branch  of  the  great  Benedictine  family  took  such  deep  root 
in  England,  or  flourished  as  luxuriantly  as  the  Cistertian.  It  is  an 
undetermined  question,  which  was  the  first  monastery  of  this  order 
founded  in  England ;  but  it  is  no  question  whether  the  house  of 
Rievaulx,  founded  by  Walter  Espec,  was  not  among  the  first,  or 
whether  it  were  not  the  earliest  Cistertian  foundation  north  of  the 
Humber.  The  era  of  its  foundation  corresponds  with  the  presidency 
of  Harding,  and  the  reign  of  Henry  I.  The  same  feeling  of  dissat- 
isfaction with  the  laxity  of  the  Benedictine  rule  manifested  itself 
about  the  same  period,  in  the  great  abbey  of  St.  Mary,  without  the 
walls  of  York.  Some  of  the  monks  withdrew  from  that  house  for 
the  purpose  of  submitting  themselves  to  more  austere  severities, 
and  lived  for  some  time  under  the  shade  of  a  few  yew  trees  which 
grew  on  the  banks  of  the  Skell.  This  was  in  1132.  These  were  the 
small  beginnings  of  the  house  of  St.  Mary  de  Fontibus.  or  Fountains. 
The  first  settlers  of  Kirkstall  came  from  Fountains.  Both  adopted 
the  Cistertian  habit  and  rule.  Many  other  houses  of  this  popular 
order  were  founded  in  the  diocese  of  York  during  that  century. 

The  circumstances  which  were  the  immediate  occasion  of  the 
early  establishment  of  a  company  of  Cistertian  monks  at  this  place 
have  not  been  preserved,  neither  is  it  known  from  what  house  the 
original  society  were  a  colony. 

From  charters  preserved  by  Dodsworth,  it  appears  that  in  the 
reign  of  Stephen,  that  is,  not  long  after  the  settlement  of  the  Cis- 
tertians  at  Rievaulx,  a  few  religious  had  seated  themselves  near  the 
spot  where  afterwards  the  abbey  arose,  and  like  the  original  settlers 
at  Fountains,  who  lived  for  a  while  under  the  shade  of  the  yew 
trees,  they  appear  to  have  assembled  in  this  place  before  any  build- 
ings were  erected  to  receive  them.  The  expression  which  occurs  in 
both  foundation  deeds,  "Monachi  de  Rupe,"  monks  of  the  rock,  can 
only  be  interpreted  upon  the  presumption  that  these  sons  of  an 
austere  devotion  had  placed  themselves  in  the  valley,  where  they 
were  screened  from  the  bleak  winds  of  the  north  by  a  range  of  lime- 
stone rock,  and  were  content  to  practice  their  devotions  under  the 
open  canopy  of  heaven.*

A  natural  phenomena,  probably  heightened  by  art,  contributed 
to  induce  the  monks  to  make  choice  of  this  spot.  Among  the  acci- 
dental forms  which  portions  of  the  fractured  limestone  had  assumed, 
there  was  discovered  something  which  bore  the  resemblance  of  our 
Saviour  upon  the  cross.  This  image  was  held  in  considerable  rev- 
erence during  the  whole  period  of  the  existence  of  this  monasterv 
and  devotees  v.  ere  accustomed  to  come  in  pilgrimage  to  "Our  Savi- 
our of  the  Roche."" 

On  the  arrival  of  these  monks,  they  were  welcomed  by  the  two 
lords  of  the  soil  on  which  thev  settled  themselves.  Richard  de  P>usli, 


-MALT13Y  GRHHX 


the  Lord  of  Alaltby,  and  Richard,  the  son  of  Turquis.  called  also 
Richard  de  Wickersley. 

To  be  the  founders  of  a  house  of  religion  was  a  distinction  of 
which  even  princes  were  ambitious ;  and  the  two  lords  of  Maltby 
and  Hooton  doubtless  rejoiced  in  the  opportunity  which  seemed  to 
be  afforded  them  of  connectinf^"  their  names  forever  with  such  a 
foundation. 

By  the  light  which  the  early  charters  afford,  we  discern  that 
there  was  a  friendly  rivalry  between  the  two  families,  who  should 
first  take  the  monks  into  their  protection,  and  give  them  for  their 
absolute   use   ground    necessary    for   their   holy   purposes.     It    was 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  201 

finally  arranged  in  a  manner  which  must  have  been  highly  satis- 
factory to  the  monks.  The  two  lords  were  to  convey  to  them  a 
considerable  portion  of  their  territory,  in  which  was  included  the 
rock  from  which  they  took  their  designation. 

The  Lord  of  Alaltby's  original  donation  is  thus  described:  The 
whole  wood  as  the  middle  way  goes  from  Eibrichethorpe  to  Lowth- 
waite  and  so  as  far  as  the  water  which  divides  ]\Ialtby  and  Hooton ; 
also  two  sarts  which  were  Gamul's,  with  a  great  culture  adjacent, 
and  common  of  pasture  for  a  hundred  sheep,  six  score  to  the  hun- 
dred, is  sochogia  de  Alaltby. 

The  Lord  of  Hooton  gave  the  whole  land  from  the  borders 
of  the  Eibrichethorpe  as  far  as  the  brow  of  the  hill  beyond  the 
rivulet  which  runs  from  Fogswell,  and  so  to  a  heap  of  stones  which 
lies  in  the  sart  of  Elsi,  and  so  beyond  the  road  as  far  as  the  Wolfpit 
and  so  by  the  head  of  the  culture  of  Hartshow,  to  the  borders  of 
Slade  Hooton.  All  land  and  wood  within  these  boundaries  he  gave, 
with  common  of  pasture  through  all  his  lands,  and  fifty  carectas, 
perhaps  loads  of  wood  in  his  wood  of  Wickersley. 

The  whole  of  the  ground  comprehended  in  these  tw'o  dona- 
tions is  described  in  Pope  L^rban's  confirmation  A.  D.  1186,  as 
locum  ipsum  in  quo  abbatia  sita  est.* 

Neither  of  these  deeds  has  a  date.  But  the  year  1147  was 
assigned  as  the  date  of  its  foundation,  by  the  uniform  tradition  of 
the  house. 

The  architecture  of  the  portions  of  the  building  which  remain 
may  be  referred  to  that  era.  There  is  such  an  exact  conformity 
with  the  style  of  Kirkstall,  that  the  church  of  Roche  evidently  be- 
longs to  the  same  age,  and  Mr.  Hunter  says  that  it  may  almost  be 
affirmed  that  it  was  built  upon  a  design  sketched  by  the  same  archi- 
tect. It  is  evident,  therefore,  that  the  monks,  as  soon  as  they  re- 
ceived the  grant  of  the  soil,  set  themselves  about  erecting  their 
church  and  apartments  for  their  own  residence.  Their  church  was 
built  upon  an  extensive  and  magnificent  scale,  and  it  cannot  be  sup- 
posed that  the  burden  of  its  erection  rested  solely  on  the  lords  who 
gave  the  land,  though  they  would,  without  doubt,  be  forward  in 
the  pious  design.  It  is  indeed  one  of  the  great  difficulties  attend- 
ing our  monastic  antiquities,  to  account  for  the  command  of  labor, 
which  must  have  been  vested  somewhere,  directed  for  the  prepara- 
tion of  so  many  noble  houses  of  religion  as  arose  during  the  twelfth 
century,  while  Enqland  was  distracted  by  foreign  and  intestine  war.

The  following  is  a  correct  list  of  the   abbots  of  this   house : 

Durandus  was  the  first  abbot.  His  presidency  extended  from 
June,  1 147  to  1 1 59. 

Dionysius,  1159  to  1171. 

Roger  de  Tickhell,  1171  to  1179. 

Hugh  de  Wadworth,  1179  to  1184.  He  appears  to  have  been 
an  active  superior  as  in  his  time  a  confirmation  from  the  Pope  was 
obtained. 

Osmund  had  a  much  longer  presidency  that  any  of  his  predeces- 
sors, namely  from  1184  to  1223.  He  had  been  the  cellarer  of  Foun- 
tains abbey.  In  his  time  King  Richard  I.  released  the  house  from  a 
debt  of  1300  marks  to  the  Jews,  perhaps  not  very  honestly. 

Reginald,  1223  to  1238. 

Richard,  1238  to  1254. 

Walter,  1254  to  1268. 

Alan,  Jordan,  Philip. 

Thomas  confessed  canonical  obedience  to  the  archbishop,  1286. 

Stephen   professed   canonical   obedience    1287. 

John,  1300;  Robert.   1300;  William,   1324. 

Adam  de  Gykelkwyk,  1330  to  1349.  In  his  time  the  Earl  of 
Warren  gave  the  rectory  of  Hatfield  for  the  increase  of  the  number 
of  monks. 

Simon  de  Bankewell  professed  canonical  obedience.   1349. 

John  de  Aston.   1358.     Robert.   1396. 

John  Wakefield,  1438.  In  his  time  Maud,  Countess  of  Cam- 
bridge, made  her  will  at  the  monastery,  and  directed  that  her  re- 
mains should  be  interred  there. 

John  Gray,  1465;  William  Tikel.  1479;  Thomas  Thurne,  i486; 
William  Burton.  1487;  John  Morpetti,  1491  ;  John  Heslington,  1503. 

Henry  Cundel.  abbot  at  the  time  of  the  dissolution.  The  date 
of  the  surrender  is  June  23.  1539.  Of  the  seventeen  monks  who 
joined  him  in  the  surrender,  eleven  were  alive  in  1553. 

The  stock  of  the  abbey  at  the  period  of  the  dissolution  consisted 
in  three  score  oxen,  kine  and  young  beasts,  five  cart  horses,  two 
mares,  one  foal,  one  stag,  sixscore  sheep  and  fourscore  quarters  of 
wheat  and  malt.     The  plate  was  very  moderate. 

The  revenues  of  the  house  are  estimated  by  Cromwell's  visitors 
at  £170  per  annum  and  the  debts  are  said  to  be  £20. 

Of  the  fabric  of  the  abbey  only  a  gateway,  placed  at  the  entrance 
to  the  precincts  on  the  side  towards  IMaltby,  and  some  beautiful 
fragments  of  the  transepts  of  the  church  remain.  The  gatewav  is  of 
later  architecture  than  the  church,  indeed  so  late,  and  standing  at 
such  a  distance  from  the  monastery,  that  it  might  be  taken  for  part 


AIALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  203 

of  the  novum  liospitum  mentioned  in  the  account  of  the  abbey  prop- 
erty and  which  was  doubtless  erected  by  the  monks  for  the  con- 
venience of  persons  resorting  to  the  abbey,  and  especiaUy  of  the 
pilgrims  who  came  in  veneration  of  the  image  found  in  the  rock. 
A  large  mass  of  stonework  at  a  distance  westward  from  the  principal 
portion  which  remains  of  the  church,  is  evidently  the  base  of  one  side 
of  the  great  western  entrance.  This  admitted  to  the  nave,  flanked 
by  side  aisles,  the  whole  of  which  has  disappeared.  Advancing  east- 
ward, we  arrive  at  the  columns  which  supported  the  tower  that  rose 
at  the  intersection  of  the  nave,  choir  and  transepts.  Much  of  these 
remain.  The  eastern  walls  of  the  transepts  still  exist,  and  enough 
of  the  inner  work  to  show  that  in  each  were  two  small  chapels,  to 
which  the  entrance  was  from  the  open  part  of  the  transept,  and  the 
light  admitted  from  windows  looking  eastward.  In  this  we  perceive 
a  close  resemblance  in  design  to  the  church  at  Krikstall  [sic],  as 
there  is  also  the  closest  resemblance  in  some  of  the  minute  decora- 
tions. The  difference  is,  that  at  Kirkstall  (spelled  both  ways  in 
author's  copy)  there  are  three  of  these  chapels  in  each  transept. 
We  may  observe  at  Roche  a  remarkable  peculiarity  respecting  the 
Northern  transept.  The  north  wall  must  have  arisen  almost  in  con- 
tact with  the  perpendicular  rock,  and  indeed  the  whole  of  the  north- 
ern side  of  the  church  must  have  been  darkened  by  that  rock,  which 
rises  as  high  as  the  walls  of  the  abbey  themselves.  Between  these 
side  chapels,  and  extending  considerably  beyond  them,  was  the  prin- 
cipal choir,  with  lights  at  the  east  end  and  on  the  north  and  south. 
And  with  this  the  church  appears  to  have  terminated,  as  there  is 
nothing  to  indicate  that  there  was  here  any  lady  choir  or  other 
building  beyond. 

On  the  north  side  of  the  choir  may  be  discerned  some  rich 
tabernacle  work  a  part  of  which  has  been  painted  of  a  red  color.* 
This  has  the  appearance  of  having  been  canopies  over  seats  or 
possibly  over  a  tomb. 

The  ponds  in  which  the  monks  were  accustomed  to  keep  their 
fish,  and  the  mill  at  which  they  ground  their  corn,  are  still  existing. 

Close  adjoining  to  the  demesnes  of  Roche  Abbey  is  Sandbeck. 
which  was  once  a  valuable  appendage  to  the  monastery  and  where 
is  now  the  seat  of  the  noble  family  to  whom  the  site  of  the  abbey  and 
much  other  property  in  this  neighborhood  belongs. 

This  place  is  not  mentioned  in  Domesday.  The  land  was  then 
either  lying  waste  or  it  is  included  in  the  survey  of  the  manor  of 
Maltby.'    It  first  occurs  in  the  6th  year  of  the  reign  of  Henrv  III..

fees  and  a  half  which  Alice,  Countess  of  Eu,  released  to  Robert 
and  Idonea  de  Vipont. 

Arthur  H.  Norway  in  "Highways  and  Byways  in  Yorkshire," 
writing  of  Roche  Abbey  says :  "This  path  descends  in  to  the  valley 
of  a  little  river  by  whose  bank,  half  buried  in  the  greenery,  stands 
the  stately  gatehouse  of  Roche  Abbey,  set  close  beneath  the  preci- 
pice from  which  the  monks,  seizing  the  most  striking  feature  of 
their  valley  with  that  quick  sense  of  picturesqueness  which  distin- 
guished the  Cistercians,  named  themselves  "monachi  de  rupe,'  Monks 
of  the  Rock.  .  .  .  The  warm  glow  of  the  afternoon  falls  into  the 
valley  in  a  flood.  The  little  stream  gleams  with  its  reflection  as  it 
steals  along  beneath  the  trees.  In  an  open  glade  a  trifle  higher  up  a 
couple  of  red-roofed  cottages  stand  shining  in  the  sun.  and  the 
fowls  go  to  and  fro  clucking  in  the  short  grass.  In  the  abounding 
stillness  one  might  fancy  that  all  human  life  had  ceased  on  the  de- 
parture of  those  who  planned  and  built  the  lovely  walls  which  are 
now  a  shattered  ruin,  waiting  in  some  enchanted  slumber  till  their 
master's  hand  shall  set  them  up  once  more  in  their  ancient  glory, 
and  the  sound  of  chanting  roll  again  through  the  hollow  and  over 
the  short  turf  on  the  limestone  crags  above.  I  sit  down  in  the 
shadow  of  the  bank  and  rest  awhile  in  this,  the  loveliest  spot  I  shall 
see  today."

MALTBY,   Alford-Lincolnshire 

Through  the  kindness  of  the  Rev.  R.  E.  H.  Duke,  we  have 
received  a  photograph  of  the  old  church  at  Maltby,  Lincolnshire. 
In  a  letter  bearing  the  letterhead  "Maltby  Rectory,"  Mr.  Duke 
writes :  "The  name  Maltby  is  derived  from  the  Danish  Commander 
Malte." 

It  is  probable  that  the  Maltbys  who  were  in  England  prior  to 
the  Norman  conquest  descend  from  this  Danish  officer,  while  an- 
other and  quiet  distinct  branch,  derive  their  descent  from  the  Nor- 
man baron,  de  Malebisse,  who  accompanied  William  the  Conqueror 
to  England. 

Mr.  Duke  adds :  "There  are  no  Maltbys  on  the  Registers  of 
this  church."

I.  Henry  Vice  Maltby  was  born  Sept.  15,  181 1,  at  Evington, 
Leicestershire  and  was  christened  at  St.  Martin's  Church,  Leicester, 
Oct.  6,  181 1.  He  married  Sarah  Ann  Dunkly  on  the  first  Sunday 
ir  November  about  1835  ;  probably  at  Leicester.  He  died  March 
27th,  1882,  at  Aston,  Birmingham,  and  was  buried  at  Boldmere, 
Warwickshire.

KINSHIP 

By  Maude;  Townshend  Maltby 

(Written  for  the  Maltby  Association) 

The  httle  creatures  of  the  wild — 
Everyone — God  calls  His  child, 
And  yet  instills  in  each  small  mind 
His  age-old  law  of  kind  with  kind. 

Who  knows  but  that  the  sturdy  oak. 
Though  beech  surrounded,  feels  a  yoke 
Of  closer  kinship  with  a  tree  which  wears 
In  distant  woods  the  leaves  it  bears? 

So  as  from  pine  to  pine  tree  tall 
Greatings  breathe  the  world  around, 
Let  us  send  forth  the  rally  call 
"Love  to  our  kin  wherever  found !" 


PART  11. 

MALTBY  AMERICAN  NOTES 

In  Part  I.  we  have  endeavored  to  give  as  much  data  as  possible 
of  the  early  English  Maltbys  and  all  English  pedigrees  procurable ; 
notes  which  should  be  interesting  to  all  those  of  Maltby  descent. 

In  Part  II.  we  deal  almost  entirely  with  the  family  records  of 
William  Maltby,  Esq.,  of  Branford,  Connecticut,  his  ancestors  and 
descendants. 

As  is  well  known  to  most  of  the  American  branch  the  English 
research  work  has  been  carried  on  by  The  Maltby  Association,  and 
most  successfully  so,  owing  to  the  excellent  services  of  Gerald 
Fothergill,  Esq.,  of  London. 

There  seems  to  be  little  room  to  doubt  that  the  ancestry  of 
William  Maltby,  Esq.,  has  been  found  back  to  John  Maltby  of 
Kexby  Hall,  Kexbie,  Lincolnshire,  whose  will  was  proved  in  1557. 
(See  Pedigree  No.  10,  Part  I.) 

The  earliest  Maltby  record  in  New  England  yet  discovered  is 
on  27  June,  1664,  and  reads  as  follows:  Town  Records  1662-84, 
page  4  (New  Haven,  Conn.,  Records).  "I,  underwritten,  doe  ac- 
knowledge to  have  Rec'd  of  John  Maltbie  Twenty  gall,  of  Rum 
which  I  doe  promise  to  make  saile  of  (at  or  upon  my  arrival  in 
Virginia)  to  his  best  advantage,  and  likewise  to  make  him  Returns 
in  the  ship  with  Capt.  Newton's  goods,  or  by  the  first  ship  to  Mr. 
John  Rookeby,  merchant  in  Barbadoes,  as  witness  my  hand  this

James  Bishop,  Recorder. 

Recorded  at  ye  desire  of  John  Maltbie. 

If  we  turn  to  Part  I.  under  date  1662,  we  find  John  Maltby 
selling  his  property  in  East  Retford.  West  Retford,  Babworth, 
Notts.  And  it  would  appear  that  it  was  from  these  sales  that  he 
obtained  the  capital  to  start  him  in  business  in  the  New  World. 
As  his  father's  will  read  that  the  houses  in  Briggate,  E.  Retford,  etc.,

to  be  sold  and  iioo  to  son  John  at  21,  and  the  residue  for  my 
youngest  son  (Roben)  "lately  born,"  we  can  place  the  birth  of 
John  as  in  1(340-41. 

Another  early  Maltb}'  record  is  given  below  (1664-65)  Page 
61,  Derby  Records,  1655-1710,  page  14: 

"This  Indenture  made  the  six  day  of  January  in  tiie  yere  of  our

Note. — The  above  record  was  copied  from  the  printed  Colonial  Records, 
and  it  is  quite  likely  the  original  signature  was  "Alaltbie."  The  "I"  was  of 
course  "J"  as  I  and  J  were  interchangeable  in  the  earlv  colonial  davs.    This  "I

Mallbier"'  was,  of  course,  John  ]\Ialtby.  Alexander  Bryan  was  the  grand- 
father of   Mary   Bryan,   who   married  John   ]\Ialtby  about   1670-71. 

The  next  ^laltby  record  we  have  is  in  1666,  as  follows:  New 
Haven,  Town  Records,  1662-1684,  p.  100.  "Att  a  Towne  meeting 
held  at  New  Haven,  ffeb.  18,  1666.     [1666-67]. 

"Mr.  John  Maltbie  ppounded  to  ye  towne  for  Admittance  as  a 
planter  to  buy  as  he  shall  see  cause.  It  was  Left  to  ye  Comittee, 
formerly  appointed  by  the  Towne  for  admitting  of  planters.  Some- 
time hearafter  makeing  aplication  to  ye  sd  comittee,  upon  ye  testi- 
mony of  John  Harriman  &  John  Winston  was  admitted." 

In  this  connection  it  is  well  to  insert  an  item  which  appeared 
in  the  Hartford  "Times,"  Sept.  2T,,  1907,  in  answer  to  query  4.300, 
Maltby-Downing.  The  answer  reads:  "Either  a  New  Haven,  Bran- 
ford  or  Milford  name."  (i.e.  Maltby).  "The  original  Maltby  mar- 
ried a  daughter  of  John  Harriman,  Milford."  Signed  (Ed.). 
Again  on  Dec.  22,  1910,  the  Hartford  "Weekly  Times"  had  under 
query  6,297:  "New  Haven  genealogist  (L.  ]M.  C.)  quoted  from 
memory  of  years  back ;  one  of  my  ancestors.  John  Harriman,  wdio 
was  one  of  the  first  innkeepers  in  New  Haven,  had  twin  daughters, 
and  one  married  a  Maltby — given  name  forgotten.     (Noel  Little.)"* 

XoTE.— A  letter  dated  "1866"   from  Ralph   D.   Smith   says:   "I   think  he" 

(referring  to  WilHam   (1)    Maltby)    "had  two  wives — the  first,  Mary  . 

The  second  who  married  him  certainly  was  Abigail  (Bishop)  Maltby." 
Another  letter  from  a  friend  who  was  searching  the  Branford  records  for 
Maltby-Harrison  records  wrote:  "Somewhere  I  found  an  item  which,  as  I 
recall  it,  gave  the  name  of  William  Maltby's  wife  as  Mary."  It  occurred 
to  the  compiler  that  perhaps  this  information  was  in  a  Harriman  record 
and  not  a  Harrison  one,  as  the  lady  was  looking  up  Harrisons  at  the  time, 
and  might  easily  have  read  some  Harriman  record,  mistaking  the  old  writ- 
ing, under  the  impression  she  was  glacing  over  Harrison  data.  The  com- 
piler has  long  been  under  the  impression  from  genealogical  deductions  that 

the  first  wife  of  William  Maltby  was  Mary  .     We  have  as  yet  found 

no  proof  that  she  was  a  Harriman,  but  the  idea  is  worth  investigating.  Of 
course  the  above  references  may  not  refer  to  the  first  wife  of  William  (1) 
Alaltby,  but  may  apply  to  a  first  wife  of  John  Maltby,  for  technically  speak- 
ing, he  was  the  "original"  Maltby.  So  far  as  is  known,  however.  John 
Maltby,  emigrant,  had  only  the  one  wife.  ]\Iary  Bryan,  and  certainly  he  had 
only  the  two  children,  John   (2),  and  Mary   (2).  twins,  by  her. 

Shortlv  after  the  above  record  we  find  in  the  Winthrop  Papers, 
1666-7.  Mass.  Hist.  Collect.  \'ol.  \^IIL  Fifth  Series  Winthrop

218  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

"Hartford,  Mar.  6,  1666  [7]. 

"I  could  never  yet  heare  of  arrival  of  it  at  Mr.  Bryan's  to 
whom  it  was  directed,  at  the  seaside.  Last  Friday  came  a  letter 
from  Mr.  Charles  Hill  of  N.  London,  who  was  newly  arrived  fro 
Barbadoes.  There  was  a  letter  for  Capt.  Delavall — Linderstanding 
by  Ed.  Messinger,  by  whom  I  receive  yours  of  Jan.  18,  at  his  re- 
turn fro  N.  Yorke,  that  the  report  of  it  (fire)  was  gone  beyond 
Milford  as  he  came  thither,  whc  could  not  but  be  at  New  York 
then  quickly,  Mr.  Malbye  at  that  time  being  on  his  journey  thither." 

Letter  to  Gen.  Nicholls.  governor  of  all  his  Royall  Highnesses, 
the  Duke  of  York,  his  territories  in  America  at  N.  York.  The 
Index  refers  to  "Mr.  John  Maltby  (Malbye)." 

This  letter  gives  us  the  information  that  John  Maltby  made 
a  trip  to  New  York  in  the  spring  of  1666-7  arid  that  he  had  carried 
with  him  news  of  some  fire.  (Was  this  the  fire  of  London  or  a  fire 
at  Barbadoes?) 

To  again  quote  from  the  Winthrop  Papers,  Vol.  VHL,  p.  568,  a 
letter  from  William  Leete  to  John  Winthrop,  Jr. 

"Newhaven,  Apr.  13,  1671. 

"I  have  herein  inclosed  Governor  Lovelace  his  letter  but  the 
instructions  are  with  Mr.  Eliot  for  perusall.  Here  is  no  nezves  with 
us,  but  of  Mr.  Malby's  arrival  safe  at  Nevis;  that  ship  he  zvent  in 
being  there  cast  azvay  by  herracane  after  the  goodes  zuere  landed  & 
he  since  gone  for  England.  Goodman  Glover  of  N.  H.  saith  that 
he  heard  at  Long  Island  that  Capt.  Pearce  was  arrived  in  England 
safe.  There  is  also  much  speech  about  Commission  and  fifriggots 
coming  to  N.  E.  Sorry  to  hear  of  the  grief  and  damage  to  your 
relations  at  xAntego.*     Signed  William  Leete." 

From  the  above  letter  of  William  Leete,  who  at  this  time  was 
deputy  governor  of  the  Colony  of  Connecticut,  we  learn  that  "Mr. 
Malbye"  had  arrived  safe  at  Nevis,  W.  I.,  prior  to  April  13,  1671, 
that  the  goods  were  landed,  and  he  had  gone  on  to  England.  From 
the  foregoing  records  it  is  clearly  shown,  we  believe,  that  John 
Maltby  was  engaged  in  a  West  India  merchant  trade,  and  up  to 
this  time  we  find  him  the  only  Maltby  in  New  England.  He  was 
very  evidently  the  older  brother  who  sold  his  property  at  East  Ret- 
ford, etc.,  Notts,  in  1662,  and  set  himself  up  in  business. 

*  John  Winthrop,  Jr..  had  a  brother,  Samuel,  who  resided  at  Antiguar. 
of  whicli  island  he  was  deputy  governor.  The  idea  has  sometimes  pre- 
sented itself  to  the  compiler  that  the  first  wife  of  William  Maltby  may 
have  been  a  W^inthrop,  possibly  this  would  explain  whence  came  the  name 
Samuel   in   the  family   of  William    (1)    Maltby. 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  219 

There  is  a  very  strong  point,  discovered  by  Mr.  Fothergill, 
namely,  that  no  Maltby  was  assessed  at  Retford  to  the  Hearth  Tax 
of  1663  (Lay  Subsidy  Roll,  160-322).  This  is  a  most  important 
fact  as  it  establishes  that  the  Maltbys  had  left  Retford  at  this  date, 
i.e.,  the  year  following  the  sale  of  John  Maltby's  property.  On  this 
visit  to  England  John  ]\laltby  very  evidently  fetched  his  two  younger 
brothers  and  also  his  cousin,  Robert  Maltby  of  Bawtry,  as  we  shall 
see  from  both  the  English  and  American  records. 

If  we  turn  to  the  English  records,  under  date  1662,  where  John 
Maltby  sold  his  property  we  find  "George  Holmes  and  Mary,  his 
wife,"  as  part  vendors  and  the  idea  suggested  was  that  Mary  Maltby, 
the  widowed  mother,  had  married  George  Holmes.  Farther  on, 
in  1664,  there  is  an  indenture  between  various  people  including 
"William  Maltby  of  London,  Haberdasher  of  Hats,"  and  the  names 
Francis  Holmes  and  Alexander  Holmes  also  appear.  The  theory 
presents  itself  that  if  the  widow,  Mary  Maltby.  did  marry  George 
Holmes  and  moved  to  London,  that  William  might  have  gone  with 
her,  or  already  have  been  in  London,  possibly,  almost  probably,  with 
London  relations.  Hence  the  tradition  that  our  emigrant  ancestor 
"came  from  London." 

The  above  is  only  a  theory  and  as  a  William  Maltby,  Haber- 
dasher of  London  died  about  1664-5,  this  may  be  one  and  the  same 
person,  and  in  no  way  connected  with  the  Retford  Maltbys,  but 
in  genealogical  research,  every  clue  or  theory  is  worth  following 
till  it  ends  in  failure. 

To  return  to  the  New  England  records:  New  Haven,  Conn., 
records,  p.  165. 

"Dec.  29,  1671. 

"Mr.  Robert  Maltbye,  Sr.,  and  Robert  Maltbye,  junior,  being 
present  with  them  in  drinking,  but  noe  disorder  appearing  &  they 
strangers  were  dismist  with  a  caution  for  the  future. 

"Robt  Maltby,  Sr.,  was  minded  of  his  disorder  ye  other  night 
before  Authorities  as  being  Distempered  with  drinke.  He  acknowl- 
edge his  evill  &  sd  he  was  fasting  and  had  been  drinking  wine  with 
a  stranger  v;hich  distempered  him.  He  was  sentenced  to  pay  ten 
shillings  fine  but  pleading  his  lownes  &  ye  wrong  he  had  sustained 
in  his  coming  from  England  &  being  to  return  again  it  was 
not  required  of  him." 

This  record  requires  careful  study  and  it  may  be  well  to  analyze 
its  contents.  First,  we  find  the  prefix  of  respect  applied  to  Robert 
Maltbv,   Sr.      Secondlv  we  must  remember  that   in   Colonial   days 


220  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

"Sr."  and  "Jr."  did  not  apply  to  father  and  son,  but  was  a  distinc- 
tion of  age  between  those  of  the  same  name  and  might  apply  to 
uncle  and  nephew,  or  to  cousins,  as  it  evidently  did  in  this  case. 
Third,  we  find  them  called  "strangers,"  so  we  may  be  sure  they  had 
but  recently  arrived  in  the  New  Haven  Colony  and  what  more 
likely  than  that  they  returned  with  John  Maltby,  older  brother, 
to  Robert  Jr.  and  cousin  to  Robert  Sr.,  whom  we  saw  en  route  for 
England  in  April  1671,  and  returned  with  his  relations  by  Dec. 
1671  (see  also  record  following).  Next  let  us  consider  the  "dis- 
order" of  Robert,  Sr.  This  may  have  been  a  new  occurrence  with 
him,  but  if  we  turn  to  the  will  of  his  older  brother,  William  Maltby 
of  Bawtry,  1665,  we  find  a  lack  of  confidence  in  his  brother  Robert, 
and  he  leaves  all  his  houses  and  lands,  etc.,  to  his  youngest  brother 
Daniel  and  his  sister  Barbara,  and  after  their  deaths  to  his  cousin 
William  Stokeham.  His  bequest  to  his  brother  Robert  is  "£5" — the 
same  sum  that  he  left  his  "cousin  John  Maltby" — i.e.,  the  John 
Maltby  who  we  believe  brough  Robert  Maltby  of  Bawtry  to  New 
England.  He  also  left  his  "cousin  William  Maltby,  £5."  (i.e.,  Wil- 
liam Maltby,  brother  of  John,  emigrants)  also  to  his  "cousin  Jane 
Turnell."  (Query:  Was  this  Jane  Maltby,  sister  of  John,  William 
and  Robert  of  Retford?  If  so,  did  she  marry,  first,  Robert  White? 
See  Agreement,  dated  1662.) 

To  return  to  the  New  Haven  record.  Robert  Maltbye,  Sr., 
pleaded  "his  lowness  and  ye  wrong  he  had  sustained  in  coming  from 
England  &  being  to  return  again."  I  think  "his  lowness"  in  this 
instance  refers  to  the  expense  he  had  been  to  in  coming  to  New 
England.  By  the  will  of  his  father  in  1660,  he  was  to  have  "the 
bouse  I  now  live  in"  (i.e.,  at  Bawtry)  "land  called  Catts  Bethey 
Moore,  land  at  Springthorpe  in  Lincolnshire."  Now  we  find  that 
Robert  Maltby  sold  this  house  in  Bawtry  about  the  time  he  went 
to  New  England.  This  appears  in  an  abstract  from  the  will  of  one 
Richard  Beare  of  Bawtry,  will  dated  1672.  and  is  only  of  interest 
to  us  because  he  leaves  his  "daughter  Mary  Boare  a  house  in  Baw- 
trey  wherein  one  Elizabeth  Carbonell  now  dwelleth,  lately  purchased 
of  Robert  Maultby  and  John  Phillips.  Dated  6  August.  1672."  No 
doubt  the  sale  of  this  house  gave  him  funds  for  his  voyage  to  New 
England.  His  cousin.  John  Maltby.  probably  thought  that  in  tlie 
"new  world"  Robert  might  acquire  the  good  fortune  which  seemed 
to  elude  him  at  home.  But  the  sale  of  this  house  was  not  his  one 
source  of  revenue  for  under  Maltby  vs.  Maltby  in  1672-3  (whtn 
Robert  Maltby  had  evidently  returned  to  England)  we  find  his 
brother.  Daniel  Maltby,  stating  that  "Robert  Maltby  borrowed  £50 
from  Robert  Langlev  of  Bawtrv  and  for  securitv  mortga'^'ed  three

messuages  in  Bawtry.  Langley  conveyed  his  interest  in  the  mort- 
gage to  Daniel  Maltby  and  Robert  ^laltby  has  failed  to  pay  the 
principal  and  interest." 

Again  we  find  that  the  widow,  Anne  Alaltby.  mother  of  Robert 
Alaltby  of  Bawtry,  seems  to  have  left  her  property  to  the  children 
of  Robert  and  not  to  him,  which  would  also  indicate  that  there  was 
lack  of  confidence  in  him.  And  we  find,  15  June,  1673,  Robert 
Maltby,  guardian,  trying  to  recover  rents,  he  claimed  due  his  infant 
daughter  Sarah.  Robert  Coulston  of  Cottingham  was  agent  for 
Anne  Maltby,  the  elder,  as  collector  of  rents  and  he  was  "ready  to 
perform  the  trusts." 

We  have  seen  from  the  above  that  two  Robert  Maltbys  were 
in  New  Haven  on  Dec.  29,  1671,  and  that  Robert,  Sr.,  was  going 
to  return.  We  shall  now  see  that  the  name  of  IVilliaui  Maltby  ap- 
pears in  New  Haven  for  the  first  time  about  this  time,  and  that 
Robert  Maltby,  Jr.,  evidently  remained  in  New  England.  The  record 
is  dated  29  March,  1672,  three  months  later  than  the  preceding  rec- 
ord and  is  as  follows:  Town  Records,  New  Haven,  1662-1684.  p.  18:

*  The  fact  that  John  Maltby  owned  "a  mare"  which  was  then  at 
Easton's  Neck,  on  Long-  Island,  would  rather  indicate  that  he  owned 
land    there. 

t  "At  home."  The  compiler  has  never  felt  sure  of  where  'home  was 
to  Jbhn  Maltby.  The  inventory  of  his  estate  taken  at  New  Haven  in  1676, 
is  verv  small,  amounting  to  only  £58.  5s,  6d.  Whereas  he  seems  to  have 
had  a  good  merchant  trade,  and  tradition  has  it,  owned  his  own  ships.  \\  e 
know  positively  that  his  brother.  William,   owned  ships.

This,  so  far  as  is  known,  is  the  first  record  of  William  Maltby 
at  New  Haven.  Scarcely  more  than  a  month  later  we  find  on  the 
New  Haven  register,  "Born,  Mary,  daughter  of  ]\Ir.  William 
Maltby e,"  p.  131. 

This  shows  us  that  William  ^laltby  was  of  New  Haven  in  ]\Iay, 
1672,  that  he  mvist  have  had  his  two  oldest  children,  John  (2)  and 
Jane  (2)  prior  to  coming  to  New  Haven.  Where  these  two  oldest 
children  were  born  and  the  dates  of  birth  are  not  known,  nor  is  the 
name  of  their  mother,  the  first  wife  of  William  Maltby.  Ralph 
D.  Smith,  in  a  letter  dated  1866,  states,  referring  to  John  (2),  son 
of  William  (i),  "He  lived  in  Saybrook  all  of  his  life  and  died  in 
August,  1727,  aged  57,"  hence  born  in  1670.  Where  Mr.  Smith 
found  his  authority  for  this  statement  is  not  known,  but  very  prob- 
ably from  his  tombstone  in   Saybrook.  which  has  likely  been  long

since  destroyed.  His  sister,  Jane  (2),  may  have  been  a  twin  sister. 
She  married  David  Parker  at  New  Haven.  4  March,  1689-90. 
From  these  records  we  deduce  that  Wilham  (i)  ]Maltby  was  mar- 
ried about   1669. 

A  year  from  the  time  we  find  the  birth  of  Mary  (2)  Maltby 
at  New  Haven,  we  have  the  record  of  WilHam  Maltby  purchasing 
his  homestead  and  land  at  Branford,  Conn.,  and  this  deed  is  wit- 
nessed by  "Robert  Maltbye"  under  date  "April  16,  1673."  There 
seems  to  be  every  reason  to  believe  that  this  Robert  Maltbye  was 
William's  younger  brother,  the  Robert  Maltby,  Jr.,  who  was  a 
"stranger"  in  New  Haven,  "Dec.  29,  1671,"  and  that  he  was  the 
Robert  Maltby,  son  of  John,  of  East  Retford,  Notts.,  born  in  1648; 
hence  he  would  have  been  twenty-five  years  of  age  when  he  wit- 
nessed the  deed,  a  copy  of  which  we  give  under  the  date  1673. 

This  is  the  last  record  discoverable  of  Robert  Maltby.  He 
may  have  returned  to  England  or  removed  to  some  other  place.  It 
is  possible  he  may  be  the  "Sergeant  Malby"  mentioned  in  1697,  (see 
"America  and  West  Indies,"  p.  326,  Vol.  X.)  but  this  is  hardly 
probably  as  he  would  have  been  nearly  fifty  years  old.  There 
is  a  record  in  Vol.  VI..  p.  366.  from  Abstracts  of  records  of  all 
grants  made  in  South  Carolina  in  1682,  which  seems  more  likely 
to  refer  to  the  Robert  Maltby  above.  It  reads:  "Robert  Maltey, 
Town  Lot,  23  March,  1682."  As  this  copy  was  made  from  the 
printed  abstracts  it  is  very  likely  that  on  the  original  the  name 
Maltey  is  spelled  Malby  or  Maltby.  This  would  account  for  the 
tradition  that  "there  were  three  Maltby  brothers  emigrated  to  New 
England,  one  of  them  going  to  Virginia."  The  fact  remains  that 
there  are  early  Maltby  records  in  New  England  which  as  yet  seem 
impossible  to  trace  to  William  and  John  Maltby. 

There  is  little  more  known  of  John  Maltby,  emigrant,  and  may 
as  well  be  summarized  here.  He  maried  ^lary  Bryan,  daughter  of 
Richard  Bryan,  she  born  at  Milford  in  164.*      (It  is  well  to  note 

*  Tlii.s  is  an  error.  W.  A.  N.  of  Bayonne,  N.  J.,  kindly  sent  tlie  foHow- 
ing  notes  on  the  Bryan-Maltbys  to  tlie  Hartford  W^eekly  Times.  Note 
12,202:  "In  the  town  records,  on  a  loose  scrap  of  paper.  I  found  a  note 
giving-  the  date  of  Mary  Bryan's  birth  as  February  15,  1649.  As  the  first 
two  leaves  are  missing  from  this  book  from  1639  to  about  1653,  there  is  no 
proof  that  this  note  is  correct  as  to  the  time  of  her  birth;  but  as  the  town 
record  shows  John  Maulbie  (Maltby)  and  Mary  Bryan,  daughter  of  Richard 
(merchant),  were  married  February  28,  1666,  It  certainly  seems  more  likelv 
that  she  was  born  in  1649  than  1654.  From  the  church  records  of  Milford. 
Conn.,  under  baptisms,  is  the  following:  'May  21.  1654,  Mary,  daughter  of 
Mary,  wife  of  Richard  Briant.  and  Alexander,  her  son.'  'Sept.  3,  1654, 
Hannah,  daughter  of  Mary,  wife  of  Richard  Briant.'  The  town  record  has: 
'Hannah  Bryant,  daughter  of  Richard  Bryan,  was  born  on  the  last  of 
August  1654.'  From  the  above  it  seems  very  evident  that  Mary  Bryan  was 
born  in  1649.  She  would  have  been  seventeen  in  1666  when  she  married, 
whereas  were  her  birtli  placed  in  1654  she  would  have  been  only  twelve 
years  old  on  the  date  of  her  marriage." 


224  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

that  her  sister.  Hannah  Bryan,  married  John  Harriman  of  Ehza- 
bethton.  Province  of  New  Jersey,  as  we  find  on  Milford  Records, 
Vol.  3.  p.  iS8,  8  July,  1677,  a  bequest  of  "£50  to  the  sd  John  Hard- 
man  upon  the  ack.  of  his  wife  are  from  the  estate  of  sd  Mr.  Richa.-d 
Bryan,  her  father.")  It  will  be  seen  that  Mary  Bryan  was  at  least 
thirteen  years  the  junior  of  John  Maltby ;  most  records  say  she  was 
married  "about  1670"  but  a  record  taken,  I  think,  from  the  Baldwm 
Genealogy,  p.  1324-1397,  says:  "She  married  (i)  John  Maltby. 
Feb'y  28,  1666,  of  New  Haven,  Conn.,  d.  about  1671." 

This  record  would  make  her  but  twelve  or  thirteen  when  mar- 
ried, and  John  Maltby  was  not  dead  in  1671,  as  the  New  Haven 
Records  give  the  birth  of  his  son,  John  (2).  as  "Born,  John,  son 
of  John  Maltby,  i  June,  1673."  The  Strong  Genealogy  says  Mary 
(2)  Maltby  was  a  twin  with  him,  but  I  did  not  find  her  name  on 
the  register.  He  had  a  sister,  Mary  (2),  however,  as  is  shown  in 
the  will  of  their  great-grandfather,  Alexander  Bryan  of  Milford. 
Mr.  Bryan  made  his  will  before  1679  and  mentions:  "To  grand- 
children" (they  were  in  reality  great-grandchildren)  "John  and 
Mary  Maltby.  £5."  (p.  1321,  Baldwin  Genealogy).  He  also  deeded 
property  in  1677  to  his  "granddaughter,  Mary,  widow  of  John 
Maltby."  John  Maltby  was  considered  to  be  dead  a  year  previous 
to  this,  however,  for  in  \'ol.  I.,  p.  175.  of  New  Haven  Records,  is 
the  following: 

"Jno.  Maltbye.  An  inventory  of  the  Estate  of  Mr.  John  Mall- 
bye,  reported  to  be  lost  at  sea  and  apprized  by  underwritters,  loth

be  many  mistakes  in  the  following  copy.)  :

As  has  previously  been  stated,  this  Inventory  would  appear  to 
be  part  only  of  the  property  belonging  to  John  Maltby.  Where  the 
bulk  of  his  possessions  were  is  a  quandry,  possibly  England,  or  some 
place  in  the  West  Indies,  or  mayhap  on  Long  Island,  or  at  Milford. 
In  this  inventory  we  note  the  "several  books,"  indicating  that  he 
cared  for  the  intellectual  side  of  life.  Also  we  may  be  sure  that  only 
gentlemen  of  a  good  station  in  life  wore  gloves  at  this  period. 

Before  leaving  the  subject  of  John  ]\Ialtby,  it  may  be  of  interest 
to  descendants  to  learn  something  of  his  wife's  family.  The  follow- 
ing notes  of  the  Bryan  family  are  from  the  New  Eng.  Hist,  and 
Gen.  Register. 

BRYAN 

I.  Thomas   Bryan,  of  Aylesbury,  England,  bapt.  there   Sept. 

29th,  1602.    His  w.  was  Anna,  only  child  of  Robert  and  Joane 

Baldwin. 

XoTE. — It  is  not  quite  clear  whether  this  was  the  wife  of  Thomas  or 
his   son,   Alexander. 

II.  Alexander  Bryan,  son  of  the  above,  d.  in  1679.  He  was  a 
prominent  merchant  of  Milford,  Conn.,  and  with  his  son,  Richard, 
stood  in  such  high  credit  at  Boston  that  his  note  of  hand  passed 
current  as  bank  bills  in  the  present  day,  says  Lambert.  From  i663 
to  1673  he  was  assistant  Governor  of  the  Colony  of  Connecticut 
and  in  Milford  was  one  of  the  purchase  trustees.  The  Hon.  Alex- 
ander Bryan  was  from  Ashton  Clinton.  Bucks.,  England. 

III.  Richard  Bryan,  son  of  the  above,  m.  Mary,  dau.  of  Wil- 
liam  and    Margaret Peyntree.      On    his    death    William 

Peyntree  left  a  large  estate  for  those  days,  inventoried.  29  Nov., 
1649,  at  £1001 — 10 — 00,  part  of  which  went  to  his  "daughter  Mary, 
wife  of  Richard  Bryan  of  Milford,  Conn." 

IV.  Mary  Bryan,  b.  in  1649,  m.,  first,  about  1671.  Mr.  Jt^lin 
Maltby  of  New  Haven.  He  was  reported  dead  before  1677.  About 
1680,  she  m.,  second.  Rev.  Joseph  Talyor  of  Southampton.  Long

The  only  one  of  the  three  emigrant  brothers  known  to  have 
left  male  descendents  was  William  Alaltby,  Esq.,  b.  in  1644-5,  ^^  ^ve 
know  from  his  tombstone.*  Before  taking  up  an  account  of  his  life 
it  will  be  well  to  compare  the  family  of  John  and  Alary  Maltby  of 
East  Retford  with  the  New  England  emigrants  and  also  to  note  the 
names  of  the  children  of  William  Maltby.  (The  full  genealogy  is 
given  in  Part  I.,  Pedigree  X.)       We  find:  John  Maltby,     Spring- 

thorpe  and  East  Retford.  X^otts,  Alderman,  with  wife,  Mary  . 

ITis  will  proved  in  1647-8.     His  children  were: 

1.  John  Maltby,  probably  b.  1640-41. 

2.  Richard  Maltby,  bapt.  15  Aug.,  1642,  at  Retford,  evidently 
d.  young. 

3.  Jane  Maltby,  eldest  daughter. 

4.  William  Maltby,  bapt.  16  March,  1644-45.  at  Retford.  Xotts. 

5.  Elizabeth  Maltby,  youngest  daughter. 

6.  Robert  Maltby,  bapt.  28  Dec,  1647.  at  Retford,  X^itts. 

The  births  of  John,  Jane  and  Elizabeth  are  not  recorded  at 
Retford,  consequently  they  were  probably  older  than  Richard,  Wil- 
liam and,  of  course,  Robert. 

Let  us  now  look  at  the  list  of  children  of  William  Maltby,  emi- 
grant, and  his  first  wife  name,  unknown  (if  his  second  wife,  Hannah 
Hosmer,  wid.  of  Josiah  Willard.  had  children  we  have  not  been  able 
to  ascertain  it)  and  of  his  third  wife,  Abigail,  dau.  of  Deputy  Gov- 
ernor James  Bishop.     Children  by  first  wife : 

1.  John  Maltby,  said  to  have  been  b.  1670.  (We  believe 
named  for  William's  father,  John,  of  East  Retford.) 

2.  Jane  Maltby,  b.  probably  about  1670-71.  She  m.  in  1689-90. 
(Was  she  named  for  their  sister,  Jane?) 

3.  Mary  Maltby,  b.  ]\Iay  i,  1672.  (We  believe  named  for  Wil- 
liam's mother.  Mary  Maltby  of  Retford,  perhaps  also  for 
his  wife.) 

4.  William  Alaltby,  b.   1673.     (X^amed  for  himself.) 

5.  Elizabeth  Maltby,*  b.  April  30,  1676.  (Was  this  for  his 
sister  Elizabeth?) 

*  NOTE — This  statement  is  ambiguous.  It  should  read  that  so  far  as  is 
known  Americans  bv  the  name  of  Maltby  descend  from  WiUiam.  Esq — for 
we  know  of  no  descendants  of  Robert,  and  the  line  of  John  (1)  soon  failed 
of  male  issue. 


228  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

6.  Daniel  Maltby/^  b.  May  19,   1679.     (Was  this  not  for  a 
favorite  cousin,  Daniel  Maltby,  of  Doncaster,  Gent.) 

Children  by  third  wife,  Abigail  Bishop: 

7.  Samuel  Maltby,  b.  1693. 

8.  Jonathon  Maltby,  b.   1698.     These  may  have  been  Bishop 
family  names. 

Hannah  Hosmer  was  b.  about  1639  and  m.  March  20,  1657, 
Josiah  Willard  of  Wethersfield ;  as  he  did  not  die  until  1674  his 
widow  could  not  have  been  the  mother  of  William  Maltby's  four 
children,  John,  Jane,  Mary  and  William.  But  she  could  have  been 
the  mother  of  Elizabeth,  b.  in  1676,  and  of  Daniel,  b.  in  1679.  The 
question  is,  was  she?  Between  the  years  1674  and  1685  we  find  no 
record  of  Hannah  Hosmer.  There  can  be  no  questioning  the  state- 
ment that  she  was  William  Maltby's  wife,  for  in  Mainwaring's 
Digest  of  Probate  Records  in  Hartford  County,  Vol.  I.,  p.  324,  is 
the  will  of  Thomas  Hosmer,  dated  ''2']  Feb.,  1685"  and  in  it  he  men- 
tions: '*I  give  unto  my  daughter,  Hannah  Malby,  £18,  which  is  the 
Reversio  due  me  out  of  the  estate  of  Josiah  Willard  of  Wethers- 
field. I  give  unto  my  son-in-law,  Malby,  £5."  .  .  .  "H"  any  of  my 
children  shall  bring  up  their  children  to  learning  so  as  to  make 
them  fit  for  publique  service,  to  each  such  gr.  child  I  bequeathe  iio 
apiece  to  be  paid  them  at  the  age  of  21  years."  ...  "I  give  my 
daughter,  Hannah  Malby,  40  shillings  in  money  and  in  case  she 
live  to  be  a  widow  and  in  want,  I  do  bequeath  her  £20  more,  to  be 
paid  her  as  she  needs  it. 

Signed :  Thomas  Hosmer. 

Proved,  i  Sept.,  1687. 

Thus  we  find  in  1685  her  father  mentions  her  as  Hannah  Malby  ; 
in  1686,  Savage  Gen.  Diet.,  calls  her  wife  of  William  Maltby ;  in 
1687-8,  we  find  her  name  with  William  Maltby's  on  the  list  of 
church  members  in  Branford,  Conn. ;  in  1689-90,  a  deed  for  John 
Yale  is  witnessed  by  "William  Maltbie,"  "Hannah  Maltbie." 

These  are  the  only  references  found  concerning  her.  A  word 
as  to  the  Hosmer  family  into  which  William  Maltby  married.  Sav- 
age Gen.  Diet,  gives:  "Hosmer,  Thomas,  Cambridge,  1632,  then 
called  Newton;  brother  of  the  first  James,  freeman,  6  May,  1635: 
removed  early,  with  Hooker,  to  Hartford,  where  he  had  a  good 
estate ;  selectman  and  representative  several  times ;  had  an  only  son, 
Stephen,  b.  about  1645;  daus.  Hannah,  b.  about  1639,  who  m.,  20 

*  There  is  room  for  iiuestion  here  as  to  whether  Elizabeth  and  Daniel 
were  children  by  a  first  wife  or  wliether  they  were  tlie  offspring  of  Han- 
nah Hosmer,   widow   of  Josiali  Willard. 


^lALTBY— FA^^IILY  HISTORY— .MALTBIE  229 

Alarch,  1657,  Josiah  Willard  of  Wethersiield ;  he  d.  1674.  They 
were  m.  at  Concord  and  had  Samuel  and  Josiah  at  Hartford  where 
he  was  schoolmaster  and  so  employed  at  Wethersfield,  where  he  had 
Dorothy,  Simon,  Stephen,  Thomas,  John  and  Hannah;  freeman 
1665;  became  a  trader,  d.  insolv. ;  in  1686  his  widow  was  wife  of 
^laltby." 

The  Hosmers  were  from  Hawkhurst,  Co.  Kent.,  where  tlie 
records  of  their  family  go  back  to  .1066.  (Vide  Xote  No.  1809-1  by 
M.  H.  H.  B.,  Boston  Transcript.  Sept.  28,  1914.)  The  earhest  rec- 
ord possessed  by  the  compiler  is  of  Stephen  Hosmer  who  was  buried 
at  Hawkhurst,  Kent,  ]\Iay  24.  1633.  His  wife,  Dorothy,  was  buried 
there  Feb.  5,  1640,  and  are  buried  in  the  churchyard  of  the  old  St. 
Lawrence  Church,  built  in  A.  D.  1291.  Their  son,  Thomas  Hosmer. 
was  born  at  Hawkhurst  in  1603.  Frances,  his  wife,  was  born  in 
1602  (Saybrook,  Conn..  Record.  \'ol.  I.,  p.  130,  but  1600  according 
to  Boston  Transcript).  Thomas  Hosmer  came  from  London  to  Cam- 
bridge, ]\Iass.,  in  1635  (Saybrook  Record,  or  1632,  according  to  the 
Transcript).  He  died  April  12.  1687  and  his  wife  died  Feb.  13, 
1675.  Their  daughter.  Hannah,  as  we  have  shown,  was  the  second 
wife  of  William  ^Nlaltby. 

These  Hosmer  records  are  given  to  show  into  what  class  of 
society  our  ancestor  married,  and  we  find  that  his  third  wife  was  of 
an  equal  station  in  life.  Abigail,  daughter  of  Deputy  Governor 
James  Bishop,  and  widow  of  John  Talmadge.  She  married  John 
Talmadge  in  1686.  His  inventory  was  taken  April  21.  1691.  Abi- 
gail Bishop  was  born  in  1659.  "]\Irs.  Abigail  ■\Ialtbei  d.  Oct.  24. 
1 710."     See  tombstone. 

Bishop  is  a  name  closely  associated  with  the  ^laltby  family  cf 
Springthorpe,  etc..  from  whom  we  claim  descent.  In  fact  if  this 
pedigree  is  correct,  as  we  believe  it  is,  then  the  emigrant  ]\Ialtbys  had 
for  their  grandmother,  a  Bishop — Margaret  Bishop,  who  had  a 
brother  Richard  and  also  a  brother  Robert.  In  fact  it  would  appear 
that  the  name  Robert  in  the  Alaltby  family  came  from  the  Bishops. 

We  have  endeavored  to  show  from  the  names  of  William 
Maltby's  children  that  there  was  a  very  close  similarity  wath  those 
of  his  father's  family,  taking  it  for  granted  that  John  Maltby  of 
East  Retford  was  his  father.  The  fact  that  this  John  Maltby  died 
when  his  three  sons  were  but  very  small  children,  aged  respectivelv 
about  eight,  four  and  a  month  or  two  old.  would  account  for  the 
fact  that  we  find  no  records  in  New  England  calling  the  emigrant 

Maltbys  "sons  of IMaltby."  as  was  the  case  with  so  manv  of 

the  early  settlers.  Another  very  strong  proof  that  the  East  Ret- 
ford ^laltbys  were  the  ancestors  of  the  emigrants  is  the  fact  that 


230  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

out  of  the  vast  number  of  Alaltby  records  found,  the  only  W'ilhani 
Maltby  born  in  1644-45  (which  is  the  year  the  emigrant  WilHam 
Maltby  was  born  as  is  proved  by  his  tombstone)  is  Wilham  Maltby, 

son  of  John  and  Mary  — Maltby,  born  at  East  Retford,  March 

16,  1644-45. 

Another  strong  piece  of  evidence  is  the  fact  that  no  Maltby 
was  assessed  at  Retford  to  the  Hearth  Tax  of  1663.  Xo  Maltby  was 
taxed  at  Bawtry  circ.  1671.  In  fact  there  is  every  reason  to  believe 
that  the  John,  William  and  Robert  of  East  Retford,  are  the  John, 
William  and  Robert  of  New  England,  and  thus  far  nothing  can  be 
found  to  disprove  this  theory. 

Some  of  the  ground  covered  by  Mr.  Fothergill  in  his  researches 
for  this  Maltby  material  included :  Feet  of  Fines,  Yorkshire,  1603- 
1666;  Feet  of  Fines,  Nottinghamshire,  Lincolnshire  and  Alixed 
Counties,  1 659-1 673  :  Chancery  proceedings,  1558-1758,  Plaintiff's 
side  only;  Inquisitions,  Post  Mortem,  1558-1649;  Lay  Subsidy  Rolls. 
Nottinghamshire  and  Lincolnshire  Close  Rolls ;  Prerogative  Court 
of  Canterbury,  1604-1719;  Exchequer  Proceedings,  Nottingham- 
shire; King's  Bench  Deeds,  1 656-1 675 ;  Indentures,  1647-1671  ; 
Yorkshire  Marriage  Licenses;  Wills  at  Yorkshire,  1636- 1700;  Baga 
de  Secretic. 

As,  to  the  lay  mind,  many  of  the  above  terms  convey  no  intelli- 
gence, a  short  explanation  is  appended. 

Pedes  Finium,  or  Feet  of  Fines. — The  conveyance  of  land  bv 
Feet  of  Fines  was  very  often  resorted  to ;  they  are  of  first  class 
importance,  as  the  vendor  joins  with  his  wife  and  children  or  other 
heirs  in  order  to  dock,  dower  or  entail.  ( For  example  see  under 
date  1662,  Part  I.) 

Chancery  Proceedings. — The  pleadings  in  the  Court  of  Chan- 
cery are  of  the  highest  importance  as  sources  of  genealogical  in- 
formation, some  of  them  giving  as  many  as  nine  generations  of 
pedigree,  and  others  even  give  abstracts  of  all  the  deeds  in  the  fam- 
ily muniment  room  for  three  hundred  years.  Besides  the  general 
value,  they  are  of  great  help  to  Americans,  as  setting  out  a  claim 
by  descent,  they  frequently  account  for  some  missing  relative,  by 
stating  that  he  is  now  in  America  in  parts  beyond  the  seas.  These 
documents  are  practically  a  virgin  field,  never  having  been  worked 
out  suit  by  suit  as  Mr.  Waters  did  the  wills  in  the  P.  C.  C.  It 
will  be  observed  that  Mr.  Fothergill  searched  the  plaintiff'  side  only. 
The  chancery  suits  on  the  defendant  side  should  be  searched  but  it 
requires  much  time,  as  only  the  plaintiff  side  is  alphabetically  ar- 
ranged and  we  had  not  the  funds  to  render  this  possible. 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE         '  231 

Inquisitions  Post  Mortem. — These  give  information  about  the 
larger  land  owners  and  are  well  known  as  one  of  the  best  sources 
of  genealogy.     (For  example  see  under  date  1585,  Part  I.) 

Lay  Subsidy  Rolls  and  Hearth  Tax  returns  are  useful,  as  they 
serve  as  a  directory,  giving  a  clue  to  the  parish.  (Example:  "No 
Maltby  in  Subsidy,   15  Car.  11,   1663-64  at  Corringham.   140-751.) 

Close  Rolls. — To  explain  this  we  quote  from  "Some  Special 
Studies  in  Genealogy,"  by  Gerald  Fothergill,  Esq..  from  whose 
works  all  the  explanations  of  terms  have  been  taken. 

"It  seems  probable  that,  in  order  to  find  capital  for  the  start 
in  the  New  World,  the  emigrant  would  sell  any  land  he  possessed ; 
or,  if  he  was  without  land,  it  is  to  be  expected  that  his  father  would, 
on  giving  him  a  portion,  re-settle  his  estate,  and  the  departing  son 
would  join  in  any  conveyance  in  order  to  cut  any  rights  he  might 
have  in  possession  or  expectancy  under  any  entail  that  existed. 
Here  it  should  be  noted  that  men  of  very  small  estates,  even  cot- 
tagers, would  strictly  entail  and  settle  property  on  themselves  and 
wife  with  reversion  to  the  eldest  son  and  heirs,  and  failing  these, 
to  the  second,  third  and  fourth  sons,  etc.,  respectively. 

"At  different  periods  the  English  law  has  known  various  ways 
of  conveyancing.  The  statute,  2y  Henry  VIII.,  cap.  16,  provided 
an  instrument  known  as  a  'deed  of  bargain  and  sale,'  and  it  was 
enacted  that  an  estate  should  not  pass  by  this  means  only  unless  it 
vras  by  indenture  enrolled  in  one  of  the  Courts  of  Westchester  or 
in  the  county  where  the  lands  lie.  If  this  provision  had  not  been 
evaded,  we  should  have  had  an  almost  universal  register  of  con- 
veyances of  the  freehold,  but  it  was  soon  defeated  by  the  invention 
of  the  conveyance  of  lease  and  release,  which  arose  from  the  omis- 
sion to  extend  the  statute  to  bargains  and  sales  for  terms  of  years. 

Many  thousands  of  the  former  deeds  are  enrolled  in  Chancery 
on  the  Close  Rolls,  the  grantors  being  indexed  in  the  books  called 
'Indentures.'  kept  in  the  Long  Room,  and  the  grantees  in  the  Close 
Rolls  index  in  the  Round  Room  at  the  Record  Ofifice.  Others  are 
on  the  rolls  of  the  King's  Bench,  Common  Pleas,  Exchequer,  etc. 

The  great  attack  on  the  (English)  records  should  start  with 
the  wills,  they  being  the  very  backbone  of  all  pedigree  research. 
By  far  and  away  the  most  important  set  of  wills  are  those  proA^ed 
in  the  prerogative  Court  of  Canterbury  (P.  C.  C.)  ;  these  commence 
in  1383,  and  continue  to  1858.  The  P.  C.  C.  contains  the  wills 
from  all  parts  of  England  during  the  Commonwealth.  1650  to  1660." 

As  is  shown  in  Part  I.,  we  have  received  in  the  neiq-liborhood 
of  a  hundred  abstracts   from  Maltbv  Wills,  and  as  before  stated. 


232  MALTBY— FAAIILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

none  of  them  (except  the  East  Retford  family)  can  be  made  to  fit 
our  needs,  whereas  the  wills,  deeds,  etc.,  of  the  East  Retford  family 
do  dovetail  in  every  respect  with  the  history  of  the  New  England 
Maltbys. 

In  Part  I.  we  gave  chronologically  these  wills,  but  for  the 
benefit  of  the  American  Maltbys  it  has  seemed  best  to  give  the  com- 
plete abstracts  as  Mr.  Fothergill  sent  them  here. 

First,  it  may  be  well  to  state  that  the  ancestry  of  John,  Wil- 
liam and  Robert  of  East  Retford,  has  been  traced  by  wills  to  John 
Alaltby  of  Kexbie  Hali,  Kexbie.  Lincolnshire,  Will  proved  1557,  so 
he  was  probably  born  about  1500.  Who  his  father  was  is  not  known, 
possibly  William  Maltby  of  Ingham,  Will  dated  15  Aug.,  1547, 
which  mentions  Son  Robert,  daughters,  Elizabeth  and  Katherine. 
Mr.  Thomas  Burton  to  be  supervisor.  Wife  Isabell  and  son  John 
to  be  exors.  John  Jackson,  John  Colson,  William  Grave.  Witnesses. 
Proved  in  Arch.  Stow,  3  Feby.,   1547-8,  folio  477. 

The  only  reasons  for  believing  this  William  Maltby  to  have 
been  the  father  of  John  of  Kexbie  is  the  fact  that  John  names  a 
daughter  Izabell,  perhaps  for  his  mother  as  his  wife  was  Margerie. 
However,  the  proved  line  of  descent  is  as  follows : 

I.  John  Maltby  of  Kexbie  Hall,  Kexbie,  Lincolnshire.  Wile, 
Margerie  .     Will  proved  3  Dec,  1557. 

II.  Richard  Maultbye  (son  of  the  above),  Kexbie,  Lincoln- 
shire.    Will  proved  last  December,  1602. 

III.  John  Maltbie  of  Springthorpe,  Lincoln.  Wife,  Margaret. 
Will  proved  25  June,  1610. 

IV.  John  ]\Taltby  of  East  Retford,  Nottingham,  Alderman. 
Wife,  Mary.     Will  proved  April,  1648. 

\^  John,  oldest  son,  b.  about  1640;  William,  second  son,  b. 
March  16,  1644-45;  Robert,  youngest  son,  b.  Dec.  28,  1648.  (They 
had  a  brother,  Richard,  b.  15  Aug.,  1642;  d.  7  Aug.  1647-8;  also 
a  sister  Jane  and  a  sister  Elizabeth.) 

The  wills  which  we  now  give  prove  this  pedigree  to  be  correct : 
I.  Abstract  of  Will  of  JOHN  Maltby  of  Kexbie  Hall.  Dated 
26  Nov.,  1557.  Burial  at  Upton.  Alice  Huggan,  Richard  Burr, 
Elizabeth  Burr,  Izabell  Jackson.  Daughters,  Margaret,  Izabell.* 
Wife  Margerie  &  son  Richard  to  be  exors.  Sons  Richard  &  Wil- 
liam.     Will    Proctor   &   Christophert    Maultby   to   be    supervisors. 

*  Prom  the  Upton  burials  we  have  this  record:  "Buried  at  Upton, 
Isabell    Maltby.    20    May,    1,^86." 

t  Christopher  Maltby  was  evidently  a  kinsman,  and  may  have  been 
Christopher  Maltby,  Alderman  of  York,  as  it  seems  probable  that  the  two 
families  join   not  far  back   of   this   date.

Wife  Margerie  of  above  John  JNIaltby  may  have  been  a  Burr, 
as  we  find  the  name  Richard  and  EHzabeth  Burr.  John's  son,

Note.— From  the  East  Retford  baptisms  we  know  that  this  son  was

Burials." 

The  foregoing  records  show  our  claim  to  four  generations  of 
Maltby  ancestors  in  England  and  brings  us  to  the  New  World  and 
the  founding  of  new  ties  and  homes.  How  the  Maltbys  were  re- 
garded by  their  neighbors  and  posterity  may  be  best  shown  by  quot- 
ing from  various  sources,  viz.: 

*  A-s  the  term  "oxg-ang-"  is  old  Eng-lish,  we  insert  Webster's  defini- 
tion of  this  word.  "O.xgang  (from  ox  and  gang)  old  English  laws.  As 
much  land  as  an  ox  can  plow  in  a  season;  said  to  be  15  acres,  or  as  others 
allege,    20    acres." 

t  John  Maltby's  wife,  Margaret,  was  very  evidently  Margaret  Bishop, 
a  sister  of  Richard  and  Robert  Bishop.  .John  Maltbv  was  buried  at  Spring- 
thorpe,   27    May,    1610. 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  235 

The  "Dwight  Strong  Genealogy,"  p.  354,  states :  "John  Maltby, 
St.,  came  with  his  brother,  Wihiam,  both  of  the  rank  of  'gentleman,' 
from  Yorkshire,  England,  to  Xew  Haven,  about  1670. 

The  Xew  Haven  Hist.  Soc.  Papers,  Vol.  III.,  p.  265  in  "Bald- 
win's Brantford  Annals,"  gives:  "Among  the  men  who  came  to 
Branford  soon  after  the  Newark  exodus"  (about  1666)  "were 
Eleazer  Stent,  William  Rosewell,  William  Maltbie  and  Samuel  Pond. 
They  became  especially  prominent,"  and  on  p.  270 :  "The  Wilfords, 
Mautlbie,  Barkers  and  Johnsons,  that  are  leading  names  in  Brant- 
ford at  this  time,  were  of  the  merchant  class  and  apparently  wealthy. 
They  became  large  land  holders. 

"The  society  at  Branford  at  this  time  must  have  been  most 
select,  comprising  the  governor  and  others  named,"  etc.  Also  on 
page  300:  "Large  and  most  substantial  houses  were  erected  by  the 
new  settlers,  some  of  whom  were  possessed  of  considerable  prop- 
erty. This  was  especially  true  of  the  Bartholomews,  Alaltbies,  Wil- 
fords, Greys,  Stents,  Goulds,  Bakers,"  (query,  Barkers?)  "Barnes 
and  Blackstones.  .  .  .  The  Hoadley,  Maltbie.  Rose,  Foote  and 
Harrison  families  present  so  many  names  that  were  prominently 
identified  with  the  church,  town  and  business  during  this  period, 
time  fails  me  to  speak  individually  of  them." 

Rev.  Jonathon  (4)  Maltby,  b.  in  1759.  stated  that  William  and 
John  Maltby  came  from  London.  England. 

"The  History  and  Antiquities  of  New  England,  New  York.  New 
Jersey  and  Pennsylvania,"  by  John  Warner  Barker,  makes  the  fol- 
lowing statement :  "The  New  Haven  Adventurers  were  the  most 
opulent  company  which  came  to  New  England." 

It  will  be  observed  that  William  Maltby  is  generally  alluded 
to  with  a  title  of  respect,  such  as  "Mr,"  "Judge,"  "Esquire."  etc. 

A  word  as  to  the  importance  of  these  titles  of  respect  and  of 
their  value  in  the  early  days  will  help  us  to  appreciate  just  how 
much  they  meant  in  colonial  days.  We  quote  from  a  volume  of 
New  Haven  records  under  "Preliminary  Remarks," :  "Mr.  and 
Mrs.  anciently  indicated  rank,  and  had  no  reference  to  condition. 
Mrs.  was  often  applied  to  unmarried  as  to  married  females.  Among 
the  first  settlers  of  New  Haven,  or  any  other  town,  scarcely  half 
a  dozen  men  were  honored  with  the  prefix  Mr.  The  common  prefix 
was  Goodman  and  Goodwoman.  contracted  into  Good'n  and  Good'v. 
Junior  had  no  reference  to  father  and  son  but  meant  simply  younger. 
Marriages  were  anciently  confirmed  by  magistrates  and  clergymen 
seldom  performed  the  ceremony  before  the  year  1700."  Another 
reference  to  this  same  subject  is  from  the  "Tuttle  Family  Gene- 
alogy" :  "The  title  Hon.  was  entirely  unknown  in  our  records  until 


236  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— AIALTBIE 

1685,  and  subsequently  for  many  years  was  applied  only  to  the  gov- 
ernor, and  seldom  to  him.     The  next  title  was  that  of  Esqre.,  and 

XoTE. — In  1703-4,  a  special  court  at   Xew   Haven  gave  a  license  to  "ye 
worshipfull  Mr.  William  Maltbie  of  Branford." 

meant  the  same  as  in  England,  temp.  Elizabeth  and  James  I.  Mr. 
Thomas  Wells  was  magistrate  for  17  years,  deputy  governor  one 
year  and  was  chosen  governor  the  second  time  before  he  was  dis- 
tinguished with  Esq.  The  next  title  was  Gentleman,  but  seems  to 
have  been  soon  discarded  in  Connecticut.    The  prefix  Master  (Mr.) 

Note. — Jonathon    (2)    ]\Ialtby's  will  calls  himself  "gentleman." 

belonged  to  all  gentlemen,  including  those  designated  by  the  higher 
modes  of  rank.  Master  corresponds  very  nearly  to  the  English 
word  gentleman.  In  Connecticut  it  embraced  clergymen  and  plant- 
ers of  good  family  and  estate  who  were  members  of  the  General 
Court,  those  bred  at  a  university  and  those  of  sufficient  education 
to  manage  the  general  affairs  of  the  colony,  civil  or  ecclesiastical, 
and  who  had  been  sufficiently  well  born.  Comparatively  few  of  the 
representatives  of  the  town,  even  though  they  might  be  returned 
year  after  year,  were  honored  with  the  title.  To  be  called  Mr.  or 
to  have  one's  name  recorded  by  the  secretary  with  that  prefix  200 
years  ago  was  a  more  certain  index  of  the  rank  of  the  individual 
as  respects  birth,  education  and  good  moral  character  than  anyone 
of  the  high  sounding  titles  with  which  men  of  no  merit  whatever, 
in.  our  day  of  swift  locomotion  are  content  to  cajole  others  in  order 
that  they  may  be  enriched  in  their  turn  with  the  same  spurious 
currency.  It  may  be  observed  by  reference  to  our  colonial  records 
that  there  were  scores  of  men  of  good  family  and  in  honorable  sta- 
tions who  still  did  not  possess  the  requisite  qualities  of  Master.  It 
was  seldom  that  young  men  of  whatever  rank  were  called  Master. 
Sir  was  sometimes  applied  to  young  gentlemen  undergraduates  at 
a  college.  Mrs.  was  applied  to  the  wives  of  Masters  and  also  to 
unmarried  females  of  the  higher  class." 

"Military  titles  were  considered  of  a  very  high  order.  Previous 
to  1654,  the  highest  military  officer  in  the  colony  was  captain." — 
Hollister's  Hist,  of  Conn. 

Palfrey,  in  "Hist,  of  New  England"  savs :  "There  was  great 
punctiliousness  in  the  application  of  both  official  and  conventional 
titles.  Only  a  small  number  of  persons  of  the  best  condition  ^always 
including  ministers  and  their  wives)   had  Mr.  or  ]\Irs.  prefixed  to

their  names.  .  .  .  Wm.  Bradford,  though  at  the  head  of  the 
Bridgewater,  J\Iass.,  proprietor's,  a  son  of  the  governor,  and  him- 
self often  lieutenant-governor,  was  not  entitled  to  Mr." 

In  "Conn.  Hist.  Society  Pub."  Vol.  III.,  p.  306,  there  is  a  sketch 
of  Brandford ;  in  it  is  the  following  item :  "The  principal  gentlemen 
of  this  town  were  Mr.  Topping.  Esq.,  John  Wilford,  Wm.  Maltbie, 
Esq.,  Edward  Barker." 

Rocky's  "Hist,  of  New  Haven  Colony"  gives :  ''Another  settler 
of  prominence  was  Wm.  IMaltby,  who  for  a  long  time  was  one  of 
the  justices  of  the  quorum  and  usually  called  Judge  Maltby.  Samuel 
(2)  Maltby  graduated  from  Yale  and  also  became  prominent  in 
affairs.     Most  of  this  family  removed." 

In  Dexter's  "Biog.  and  x\nnals  of  Yale  College"  William  Maltby 
is  referred  to  as  "Captain  William  Maltby."  He  may  have  had  this 
rank,  I  do  not  know.  Savage  in  his  Gen.  Diet,  mentions  him  as 
"Cornet  of  New  Haven  troop,"  which  is  correct  as  will  be  shown 
in  later  records,  and  which  follow  chronologically  arranged  as  far 
as  was  possible. 

Ralph  D.  Smith  in  a  letter  dated  "Guilford.  Conn.,  1866,"  says 
cf  William  and  John  Maltby :  "They  belonged  to  the  rank  of  gentle- 
man, and  were  both  engaged  in  commercial  pursuits.  John  confined 
his  business  principally  to  the  sea,  William  engaged  both  on  the 
sea  and  the  land." 

Henry  Rogers  of  New  Haven,  aged  84.  wrote  the  compiler : 
"William  Maltby  was  a  justice  of  the  quorum  (or  judge  of  the 
county  court)  at  the  time  of  his  death,  17 10,  and  had  been  for  some 
twelve  years  before.  He  was  a  man  of  much  influence  in  his  dav 
in  Branford.  .  .  .  He  was  without  question  or  doubt  one  of  the 
men  that  were  looked  upon  as  the  men  that  were  qualified  to  be 
the  leaders  of  the  people  in  the  government  of  the  colony  .  .  . 
I  noticed  his  stone  at  the  Branford  Cemeterv — it  looks  well." 


WILLIAM  MALTBY,  ESQ. 

1644-45.     Born.     As  we  know  from  his  tombstone  at  Branford. 

1667.  It  is  claimed  that  the  first  signature  of  William  Maltby  is  to 
be  seen  on  the  Church  Covenant  at  Branford  in  1667.  (Branford 
Town  records.  Vol.  I.,  p.  319,  Ecclesiastical  Records,  Vol.  I.,  p. 
17,  State  Library,  Hartford.)  This,  I  think,  is  a  mistake.  I 
have  seen  the  Branford  records  and  they  are  a  bit  confusing. 
William  Maltby's  signature  seemed  to  me  to  be  after  the  reor-

ganization  of  the  church  and  not  before.  Also  from  the  deed 
of  John  Maltby,  1672,  in  which  he  calls  William  Maltbie  "now- 
residing  in  New  Haven,"  it  would  appear  that  he  was  but  lately 
come  to  New  England.* 
1672.  March  29th.  Deed  of  John  Maltby  to  William  Maltby.  See 
under  notes  concerning  John  Maltby.

Note. — This  is,  of  course,  "old  style."  The  year  formerly  commenced 
March  2Sth.  During  the  period  from  1685  to  1690,  when  efforts  began  to 
be  made  to  change  the  time  of  the  New  Year  from  March  25,  to  Jan.  1 ; 
the  time  when  such  was  effected  was  about  the  year  1750,  all  dates  from 
Jan.  1,  to  March  25,  were  doubly  designated.  Consequently  the  above  date 
should  read  1673-4  and  William  would  be  twenty  months  the  junior  of  Mary. 

1673.     April.       William  Maltby  purchases  his  mansion  house  and

*  A  letter  written  by  Ralph  D.  Sniitli,  dated  "1866"  says  apropos  of 
this  record:  "Mr.  Wm.  Maltbv's  name  anpears  amons  the  last  of  the  signers 
of  the  second  Branford  Church  Covenant  of  1667.  made  after  the  departure 
of  Rev.  Mr.  Abraham  Pierson  and  his  company  from  Branford  for  Newark, 
N.  J.,  and  apparently  Mr.  Maltby  signed  it  several  years  after  it  was 
originally  drawn  up.  on  his  coming-  to  Branford.  which  was  certainly  late 
in  1672  or  earlv  in  1673.  ...  He  was  evidently  a  man  of  business  and 
ability  much  above  the  ordinary  and  he  assumed  a  prominent  position 
among   the    people    of   Branford." 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— AIALTBIE  239 

Note. — It  would  seem  from  this  record  that  Wilham  Maltby's  land  must 
have  been  in  the  vicinity  of  the  old  burying  ground,  judging  from  the  boun- 
daries given  in  George  Page's   deed.

1673.  Dec.  5.  William  Maltby  "exchanges  a  gray  horse  with

of  the  way  that  leads  to  his  field." 
p.  58.     "A  cow  pasture  is  laid  out  for  Wm.  Maltbie  at  pipe  stafife 

hill." 
p.  62.     The  town  gives  him  "3  or  4  acres,  part  rocky,  adjoining 

his  land." 
p.  62.     "He  is  chosen  among  three  townsmen  for  the  ensuing  year, 
p.  36.     "Appointed  with  others  to  view  a  parcel  of  land. 
1682.     May.     "He  was  proposed  for  Freeman  and  in  October  was 

admitted  a  freeman  of  the  colony."  (Ralph  D.  Smith). 
1682.     Branford  Records,  p.  106 :  "At  a  Towne  meeting,  March  27, 

1682,  George  Tyler  was  chosen.     Mr.  Maltbye  having  given  his 

reasons  for  his  dissisting  his  work." 

Note.— From  1672,  when  William  Maltby's  name  first  appears  upon  the 
Colony  records,  until  the  above  date,  March  27,  1682,  the  name  of  William 
Maltby  appears  upon  the  records  every  year.  But  from  1682  till  1685,  I 
find  no  mention  of  it.  Would  the  death  of  his  first  wafe  account  for  this? 
or  is  it  possible  that  he  returned  to  England  during  this  period? 

1685.  Feb.  27.  The  will  of  Thomas  Hosmer  of  Hartford,  Conn., 
mentions  his  daughter,  "Hannah  Malby,"  and  further  on  his 
"son-in-law,  Malby." 

1685.  May  14.  Mr.  Wm.  Maulby  and  Lieut.  Eli  Stint  were  elected

1686.     July  6.     Elected  Deputv  to  Special  Court   (p.  208V

1686.     Oct.  14.     ^Member  of  General  Court  (p.  214). 

1686.  Oct.  II.  On  the  nth  of  October,  1686,  the  town  agreed  to 
apply  to  the  General  Court  at  Hartford  for  permission  to  embody 
into  a  church  estate,  such  as  were  suitable  subjects. 

Wm.  Alaltbye  was  chosen  one  of  the  delegates  and  his  name 
is  among  those  appended  to  the  petition.  Airs.  J.  P.  Cushman 
(who  gathered  together  most  of  these  Branford  records)  writes: 
"We  saw  the  original  paper,  and  the  autograph  of  our  ancestor, 
among  the  Ecclesiastical  Records."  (Vol.  I.,  pp.  84,  85.  See 
also  Colonial  Records,  p.  216).  This  petition  was  granted.  They 
had  previously,  April  12,  1686,  given  Air.  Samuel  Russell,  a  son 
of  Rev.  John  Russell  of  Hadley.  Massachusetts,  and  a  graduate 
of  Harvard,  an  invitation  to  settle  with  them  as  their  minister 
and  he  had  given  an  answer  in  the  affirmative  on  the  12th  of 
September.  1687  (Branford  Church  Alanual.  p.  12.  Also  Gil- 
lette's Semi-Centennial,  p.  10).  "It  was  in  the  large  south  parlor 
of  his  dwelling  that  the  convention  of  ministers  met  to  found 
Yale  College.  He  was  one  of  the  trustees.  It  was  during  his 
pastorate  that  the  town  divided  into  Old  and  North  Branford, 
and  after  a  time  the  latter  set  ofif  a  part  of  its  people  who  formed 
a  third  society  called  Xorthford."    (Gillett's  Sermon,  pp.  11-12).

*  Samuel  Russell  was  the  minister  and  in  consefiuence  had  the  first 
pew  in  the  church.  After  the  minister  the  people  of  the  highest  rank  were 
seated.  In  connection  with  the  church  sittings  we  quote  from  "Historic 
Towns  of  New  England,"  page  136,  by  George  Dimmick  Latimer.  "On  one 
side"  (the  church)  "sat  the  men,  on  the  other  the  women  and  small  chil- 
dren,   each   in    his   proper   place,    determined   by    wealth    or   public    office." 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  247 

Note. — It  was  the  custom  in  the  early  days  for  marriages  to  be  per- 
formed by  a  Justice  of  the  Peace. 

"From  this  time  (1687?)  until  1689,  I  can  find  no  mention  of  the  name 
of  William  Maltby,"  writes  Mrs.  J.  P.  Cushman.  "In  that  year  it  appears 
twice,  May  9  and  June  13,  as  one  of  the  members  of  the  General  Court  at 
Hartford."    (Colonial  Records  of  Connecticut,  Vol.   HI.,  p.   195.) 

Editor's  Note. — This  fact  suggests  the  thought  that  William  Maltby  was 
away  from  New  England,  as  it  hardly  seems  probable  that  a  man  so  active 
in  the  public  service  would  suddenly  cease  to  serve  his  colony  and  as  sud- 
denly resume  active  public  work.  Very  probably  he  visited  England  at  this 
period.

William  Maltby's  son.  William,  was  captain  of  this  brigantine, 
"Friends  Adventure,"  as  we  learn  from  a  New  Haven  Record,  Vol. 
II.,  p.  52,  under  date  "3  Dec.  1700.  William  Maltbie  of  New- 
Haven,  master  of  ye  Brigantine  ffriends  Adventure."  It  was  shortly 
after  this  that  William  Maltby.  junior,  lost  his  life  in  the  West 
Indies. 

Rev.  Jonathon  (4),  in  a  paper  written  in  1848,  says:  "In  the 
inventory  of  Wm.  Maltby  are  quite  a  number  of  vessels.*     Bran- 

*  riev.  Jo7iathon  Maltby  very  evidently  had  seen  some  inventory  un- 
known to  us.  It  may  be  that  it  would  be  among-st  the  Custom  House  rec- 
ords of  New  Haven.  Another  descendant  of  the  earlier  generations  wrote: 
"Our  emigrant  ancestor  owned  three  vessels,  all  of  them  full  of  cargo  at 
the  same  tims  in  New  Haven  harbor."  The  exact  quotation  is  mislaid, 
but  if  memory  is  not  at  fault,  it  came  from  a  grandchild  of  Samuel  (2'> 
Maltbv.  Addenda.  Tliis  statement  reads:  "One  of  the  Maltbys  owned 
tHree  ships  with  cargoes  afloat  at  the  same  time." — Selina  (6)  Maltby. 
John    (5). 

*A  further  search  of  this  record  reads,  after  the  word  "tons":  "liavo 
given,  granted,  bargained,  sold,  convey,  confirmed  and  firmly  made  over 
unto  him  the  said  Jonathon  Atwater  one  whole  eighth  of  the  Hull  or  body

ford  in  those  days  was  a  thriving  seaport,  more  business  was  done 
in  Branford  said  Captain  Parish, t  an  old  gentleman,  than  in  New 
Haven.  The  merchants,  he  said,  purchased  their  West  India  goods 
in  Branford.  The  farmers  in  Northford  carried  all  there.  It  was 
the  market  for  their  wheat,  rye,  corn,  flax,  flaxseed,  staves,  hoops, 
etc.  Flax  and  flaxseed  was  a  great  article.  Capt.  Josiah  Fowler 
and  Jonathon  Fowler,  Benjamin  Alaltby  (3)  and  others  raised 
abundance  for  the  market.  In  my  boyhood  I  went  with  my  father 
(Benjamin)  (3),  grandson  of  the  emigrant,  William  (i)  Alaltby. 
when  he  carried  his  effects  and  was  well  pleased  to  see  the  vessels."

N.  Hav.  Nov.  7,  1703. 

Hournble  Sr — ^After  our  condolence  with  yor  Hour  in  ye  great 
breach  lately  made  in  yor  family,  these  upon,  yor  Hounrs  commands 
come  to  offer  our  opinion  in  ye  case  proposed,  viz. :  that  it  being 
manifestly  too  late  to  send  for  Engld  for  ye  divertion  of  dangers 
from  the  present  sessions  of  Parliam't,  there  seems  to  be  no  occation 
for  a  General  Court  as  yett ;  but  it  may  be  a  good  service  for  ye 
Colony  if  the  Governrs  Hounr  with  advice  of  his  Council  would 
hasten  letters  to  Sr  Henery,  requesting  a  speedy  and  full  account 
of  our  aft'airs,  what  probabilities  there  are  ye  design  against  ye  for- 
reign  corporations  will  be  reviv'd  and  take  effect  in  Parliament, 
what  reasons  he  can  offer  for  sending  an  agent,  whether  that  charg 
be  att  all  likely  to  do  us  any  service,  whether  he  with  the  councel 
he  retains  may  not  be  capable  of  serving  our  interest  as  well  without 
as  with  an  agent  from  home  ? 

It  seems  to  us  that  if  we  must  fall  because  we  are  a  corpora- 
tion, no  trouble  or  charge  we  put  orselves  upon  can  save  us :  if  we 
must  fall  because  criminal,  or  crimes  will  doubtless  in  form  of  law 
be  laid  before  us  before  we  be  condemned.  There  may  be  time 
enuf  to  send  an  agent  if  there  needs.  However,  if  Sr  Henery  can 
shew  sufficient  business  for  an  agent  to  be  sent,  next  ]\Iay  Court 
may  hasten  one  unto  him. 

\Ye  have  also  thought  if  the  Hounble  Governr  &  Council  would 
ciraw  an  address  to  ye  Queen's  Majestie,  therein  plainly  representing 
the  true  state  and  interest  of  this  Colony  how  much  our  fathrs  and  we 
have  confided  in  royal  grace  for  the  continuance  of  our  privileges, 
expended  both  estate,  labr  and  much  bloud  in  settling,  subduing 
and  defending  this  Colony,  how  low  and  poor  we  yett  are.  having 
no  forreign  trade,  &  how  disheartened  our  people  very  generally  will 
be  if  they  must  loos  their  present  Charter  priveledges.  whereupon

great  numbers  will  doubtless  choos  to  settle  in  some  better  climate 
&  safer  country,  &  so  the  Queen's  interest  in  ye  Colony  will  be  left 
more  exposed  to  dangers  and  charges ;  how  little  chargable  we  have 
been  to  ye  Crown,  &  how  careful  not  to  wrong  its  interests  we  have 
been ;  if  these  and  what  else  may  be  proper  were  putt  into  a  mem- 
orial with  a  suitable  address  &  lodged  in  our  agents  hands  with  in- 
structions under  necessary  conection  to  present  ye  same  to  her 
Majestic  when  yr  should  be  occation,  it  might  perhaps  prevent  her 
giving  such  an  act  the  royal  assent,  unless  harmless  Connecticut 
be  exempted.  However,  this  done,  what  can  we  do  more  but  com- 
mit our  cause  to  Him  that  is  able  to  deliver  us?  Indeed,  if  we  should 
understand  we  are  neer  our  end,  it  doubtless  would  be  very  requisite 
to  call  a  General  Court,  better  to  secure  our  titles  to  land,  or  town 
patents  being  insufficient  to  settle  or  8  counties  &  to  order  some 
other  things  of  great  consequence  befr  we  die.  These  (with  our 
humble  service  ofifered  to  yor  Hounr)  are  submitted  to  yor  correc-

In  order  that  descendants  mav  form  some  idea  as  to  the  impor- 
tance in  the  early  days  of  the  above  estate  we  quote  from  the 
N.  E.  H.  &  (;.  R..'p.  yj^.  Vol.  hXlY :  "At  William  Peyntree's  death 
in  Connecticut,  he  left  a  large  estate  inventoried.  29  Nov.,  1649.  at 
£1001,  00s,  cod,  to  his  widow  IMargaret,  son  John  and  his  daughter 
Marv,  wife  of  Richard  Brvan  of  Milford.  Conn." 


AIALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  265 

Note. — ]\Iary  Peyntree  was  the  mother  of  Alary  Bryan,  wife  of  John 
Maltby,   Esq. 

This  inventory  was  taken  some  sixty  years  before  that  of  Wil- 
ham  Mahby,  which  makes  some  difference  in  the  relative  value  of 
the  two  estates,  but  in  17  lo,  an  estate  of  ^1058  was  a  goodly  in- 
heritance and  William  ]\Ialtby  was  one  of  the  most  substantial  men 
in  Branford. 

After  the  death  of  William  Maltby  there  was  some  litigation 
over  the  estate  as  is  shown  by  a  New  Haven  Probate  Record,  viz.  : 

"John  Alaltbie  of  Saybrook,  one  of  the  legatees  of  Mr.  William 
Maultby,  late  of  Branford,  Dec'd.,  did  offer  ye  evidence  of  Samuel 
and  Miriam  Pond  to  shew  that  through  the  Neglect  of  ye  vScribe  In 
writing  ye  will  of  sd  Dec'd,  there  was  an  omition  of  some  Particular 
grants  to  ye  said  John  Maultbie  and  his  brother  Daniell.  But  inso- 
n,uch  ty  none  of  yet  Interests  were  present  nor  cited  to  bee,  ye 
Court  do  decline  acting  in  ye  affair." 

\^ol.  IV.,  p.  94:  "The  Testymonie  of  Samll  Pond  and  Miriam 
Pond :  These  Deponents  testyfie  and  say  they  being  with  Mr.  Wil- 
liam ]\Iaultby  of  Branford,  Dec'd,  when  he.  sd  Maultby  made  his 
last  will,  heard  said  Maultby  say  he  gave  sixty  four  acres  of  his 
land  at  Sebce  hil  to  his  grandson,  William  Maltby  and  ye  remainder 
of  his  said  land  at  Sebee  hil  he  gave  to  his  son  John  and  his  son 
Daniel  to  be  divided  between  them  and  farther  saith  at  Guilford, 
July  23rd,  1 712,  the  above  named  Samuel  Pond  and  Miriam  Pond 
made  solemn  oath  to  ye  truth  of  the  above  written  testymony  before 
Abraham  Fowler,  Asst.  John  IMaltby  of  Saybrook,  who  desires  ye

ye  persons  concerned  in  ye  above  William  Maltby's  estate  to  be 
present  at  time  and  place  above  said,  but  none  of  them  present.

after  thor'  consideration  thereof  do  not  see  cause  to  grant  an  ad- 
ministration on  the  goods  and  chattels  of  said  deceased  from  this 
deny  all  the  said  John  Maltby,  Daniel  Maltby,  David  Parker  and 
Abraham  Hoadley  appeals  to  the  Court  of  Assistants  to  be  held  at 
Hartford  in  May  next,  John  Maltby,  Daniel  Maltby,  David  Parker 
and  Abraham  Hoadley  principals,  and  Matthew  Gilbert  and  Samuel 
Cooper  surety s  acknowledge  themselves  bound  jointly  and  severally 
in  a  recognizance  of  Forty  pounds  lawful  money  of  the  Colony  of 
Conn,  to  the  Court  of  Probates  for  ye  county  of  New  Haven,  to 
prosecute  their  said  appeale  to  the  ofifset  and  answer  all  damages 
in  case  they  make  not  their  plea  good."  (p.  252,  Vol.  HI.,  New  Ha- 
ven Probate  records.) 

It  would  be  interesting  to  know  the  outcome  of  this  case,  but 
as  yet  we  have  found  no  record  of  this  appeal  at  Hartford.  The 
record  might  throw  some  light  on  the  question  of  who  was  the  first 
wife  of  William  Maltby,  as  possibly  they  were  contending  for  prop- 
erty which  they  thought  they  were  entitled  to  through  their  mother. 
It  will  be  noticed  that  Samuel  and  Jonathon.  children  of  Abigail 
Bishop,  do  not  appear  in  the  above  plea.  It  would  rather  seem  to 
mdicate  that  John,  Jane,  Elizabeth  and  Daniel  had  the  same  mother. 

Note. — -William,  the  other  brother,  died  nine  years  before  his  father, 
and  William,  Sr.,  had  already  given  him  his  share  and  provided  for  his 
grandson,   William,   3rd. 

This  work  is  in  no  way  intended  for  a  genealogy.  (A  large  and 
comprehensive  record  of  the  descendants  of  William  and  John 
Maltby,  emigrants,  is  about  completed,  in  so  much  as  a  genealogy 
is  ever  completed).  At  the  same  time  it  has  been  considered  advis- 
able to  include  in  this  volume  a  sketch  of  each  of  the  children  of 
William  Maltby,  and  these  biographies  now  follow. 


JOHN  MALTBY  (2) 

John  Maltby,  oldest  son  of  William  Maltby,  Esq.,  was  born, 
according  to  Mr.  Ralph  D.  Smith,  in  1670.  Where  he  was  born 
and  the  name  of  his  mother  are  not  known. 

"Branford  Annals,"  by  Baldwin  ( N.  H.  Hist.  Soc.  Papers, 
Vol.  III.,  p.  269)  has  this  paragraph,  referring  to  him :  "March  9, 
1687-8,  John  Rosewell,  Samuel  Hoadley,  Jon.  Foote,  Josiah  Frisbie, 
William  Barker,  John  Maultbie  and  Isaac  Bartholemew  were  granted 
a  parcel  of  land  a  mile  square  in  the  N.  W.  portion  of  the  town. 


MALTBY— FAAIILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  267 

They  were  to  divide  it  among  themselves  as  they  could  agree.  They 
were  young  men  pushing  out  to  make  new  homes.  They  were  thus 
the  founders  of  families  that  have  been  prominent  in  North  Bran- 
fird  since." 

Mr.  Ralph  D.  Smith  wrote  concerning  John  Alaltby :  "He  was 
a  Cooper,  but  belonged  to  the  better  class  in  Society.  .  .  .  He 
lived  in  Saybrook  all  of  his  life."  I  do  not  think  John  Maltby  went 
to  Saybrook  to  live  until  sometime  after  1694,  w4ien  he  would  have 
been  twenty-four  years  of  age,  as  we  find  these  records  in  Branf ord : 
1682.     "Land  was  given  by  the  town  to  Jno.  Maltbye,  about  1682. 

On  page  43  of  "Branford  Annals"  we  find  the  following: 

"North  Branford.  In  1687,  March  4.  John  ]Maltbie  (also  spelled 
Maultbie).  He  was  probably  a  son  of  William  ^Nlaultbie."  Also: 
"March  21,  1700,  John  ]\Iaultbie  removes  to  New  London  and  sells 
to  his  father  William." 

1686.  "John  Maltbye  makes  his  mark  (  -[-  )  to  an  agreement  that 
Jno.  Rosewell  have  his  land  in  one  piece,  March  8.  1686-7.  (Bran. 
Rec,  Vol.  n.,  p.  T,y) .  \\'hy  he  should  have  made  his  mark  at  16 
years  of  age,  with  his  father  so  fine  a  penman  is  a  question,  unless 
he  were  ill  at  the  time. 

Rev.  Jonathon  (4)  Maltby  wrote  of  him:  "of  Yale  Coll.,  but  did 
not  graduate  for  want  of  health."  As  Yale  College  was  not  founded 
till  1700,  this  can  hardly  be  correct,  though  it  is  possible  that  Rev. 
Jonathon's   (4)   statement  alluded  to  his  son,  John   (3). 

1694.  "John  ]\Ialtbie  entered  his  earmark,  which  is  a  hollow 
crop,  on  the  top  of  the  near  ear,  and  a  crop  on  the  off  ear,  and  a 
slit  in  the  same  ear,  April  17,  1694.  (Bran.  Rec,  Vol.  L,  p.  223). 
Between  this  date  and  1699,  his  father  purchased  a  place  for  him 
in  Saybrook,  probably  at  the  time  of  his  marriage  in  1696. 

According  to  i\Ir.  Ralph  Smith  and  to  Mr.  Francis  Parker  of 
Hartford,  John  Maltby  married  Hannah  Lord,  daughter  of  Capt. 
William   and   Lydia   Buckland    (Brown)    Lord    of    Saybrook,    and 

granddaughter  of  Thomas  and  Dorothy Lord  of  Hartford.    A 

marriage  into  a  good  family,  as  is  well  known.  The  date  of  the 
above  marriage  was  Aug.  13,  1696. 

1699.  In  this  year  we  find  the  following  item :  "I  John  ]\Ialtbie 
of  Saybrook,  sell  to  my  honored  father,  Wm.  Maltbie  of  Branford, 
for  the  sum  of  £8  a  piece  of  land.  etc.  March  15.  1699.  Acknowl-

Vol.  II.,  p.  3.)

The  L5ranford  Records.  \"ol.  II.,  p.  44,  contains  this  item:  "John 
Maltbie,  among  others  receives  8  acres  in  Branford  and  promises  to

and  proved  Sept.  12,  1727.  It  mentions  wife  Hannah,  children  John,

*  NOTE — A  son  of  John  Maltby's  stepmother,  by  her  first  husband, 
Josiah  WiUiard.  Samuel  Willard  resided  at  Saybrook;  as,  viz.,  the  following- 
record:  "Samuel  Willard  of  Saybrook  quit  claims  to  Stephen  Willard  of 
Wethersfleld,  his  title  to  the  land  of  his  honored  father,  Josiah  Willard.  30 
Dec,  1699." 

*  William  evidently  died  young-  as  he  is  not  mentioned  in  his  father's 
will. 

t  The  old  Maltby  Chest,  of  which  we  show  a  photograph,  belonged  at 
one  time  to  Hannah  Maltby,  and  possibly  to  her  fatlier,  John.  Indeed,  there 
is  a  strong  possibility   that  he  built  it  himself. 

t  This  date  of  birth  may  be  incorrect  as  the  Guilford  records  read: 
"Died.  Jane  Maltbie,  from  Saybrook,  30,  June  12.  1737.  "  This  would  make 
her    birtli    year    1707.

Quaint  heirloom,  as  alone  this  day  you  stand 

A  relic  of  the  past,  what  could  you  tell 

Of  our  ancestors  and  the  home  and  land 

From  whence  they  came,  and  of  that  one  as  well 

Who  formed  you  for  his  own  utility. 

With  somewhat  even  of  skill  and  artistry.

In  red  and  black  and  gold  traced  clearly  see 
The  letters  and  the  date,  which  seem  to  give 
An  index  of  the  owner's  family, 
As  well  as  time  in  which  the  man  did  live, — 
John  Maltby,  grandson  of  the  one  we  own 
As  sire  of  Maltbys  in  our  lineage  known. 

This  we  may  gather,  but  no  further  clue, 
From  which  to  unroll  the  years  between, 
That  early  date  and  this,  is  given  by  you ; 
Nor  may  we  ever  know  all  you  have  seen, 
Made  as  you  were  full  half  a  century 
Before  this  country's  Independency. 

You  know  the  natives  who  tried  souls  of  men ; 
Witnessed  privations,  loss,  disease  and  death. 
And  midst  those  scenes  saw  the  swift  rise  and  gain 
Of  a  new  nation — even  to  Freedom's  breath. — 
A  nation  known  this  day.  her  treasure  sought 
By  all  lands,  and  we  cry,  "What  has  God  wrought!" 

Yet  pride  and  honor,  wealth  and  fame  must  pass. 
Not  even  a  nation  can  unchanged  remain. 

The  things  we  value  in  an  instant  flash 
Are  gone  from  us,  we  must  new  treasure  gain ; — 
But  still,  with  you  old  chest,  to  our  loved  Tree — 
The  Maltby  Genealogy — cling  we.

KoTE.— The  compiler  has  a  copy  of  a  letter  written  from  Falls  Village, 
Connecticut,  December  24th,  1867,  by  Dr.  Charles  Benjamin  Maltbie,  father 
of  Mrs.  Dean,  in  which  he  says:  "I  have  now  in  my  possession  a  sea-chest, 
marked  I.  M.  1726  on  the  front  of  it,  the  old  English  standing  for  J  as  well. 
This  chest  was  willed  to  me  in  a  formal  manner  by  one  Abrani  Hodgkin, 
a  descendant  of  the  elder  brother  in  whose  possession  it  had  come  into  by 
the  way  of  his  mother.  These  facts  are  mostly  derived  from  him,  he 
says  that  the  elder  John  had  one  son.  John,  and  several  daughters,  that  this 
son.  John,  had  five  daughters  and  no  son,  etc." 

Abraham  (4)  Hodgkin  was  born  April  9.  1731,  and  married 
March  20.  1755,  Sarah  Stone.  He  died  "about  1852  at  an  advanced 
age"  according  to  Dr.  C.  B.  Maltbie.  He  was  the  oldest  child  of 
Hannah  (3)  Maltbie,  born  Sept.  18,  1704,  in  Saybrook  and  who  mar-

ried,  Jan.  17,  1730.  Abraham  Hodkin,  in  Guilford,  Connecticut. 
Hannah   (3)   was  the  daughter  of  John   (2)   and  Hannah    (Lord) 

Maltbie,  and  the  granddaughter  of  Wilham  (i)  and  Mary  ? 

Alaltbie. 

According  to  'Sir.  Ralph  D.  Smith,  of  Guilford,  John  (2)  ]\Ialtby 
died  in  August,  1727,  so  we  take  it  for  granted  that  the  sea  chest 
was  not  his,  but  belonged  to  his  son,  John  (3),  who  married  Nov. 
12,  1724,  Mehitable  Clarke. 

The  chest  evidently  reverted  to  his  sister  Hannah. 

Of  course  there  is  a  possibility  that  the  chest  belonged  to  John 
(2),  and  when  he  died  in  1726  it  went  to  his  oldest  daughter,  and 
she  may  have  had  the  "I.  M.  1726"'  put  on.  This  perhaps  is  the 
most  natural  explanation.  Indeed,  "What  could  you  tell  of  our 
ancestor!"  Could  we  but  discover  some  secret  drawer  or  hiding 
place  in  you — with  a  bit  of  yellowed  paper,  telling  something  of  those 
who  brought  you  over  seas — what  a  happy  find  that  would  be ! 


JANE  MALTBY  (2) 

Jane  Maltby's  birth  date  is  not  known,  nor  where  she  was  born. 
She  may  have  been  a  twin  of  John,  or  a  year  his  junior.  She  joined 
the  Branford  Church  in  ^Nlarch,  1689.  and  we  judge  was  probably 
borne  about  1671. 

Her  marriage  is  recorded  at  New  Haven,  Conn.,  p.  131,  as  fol- 
lows :  "David  Parkor  and  Jane  INIalby  were  maryod  the  4  March, 
1689-90." 

A  Branford  Deed,  Vol.  HL,  p.  280,  states  that:  "David  Parker 
of  Say  Brook  in  the  County  of  New  London  and  Colony  of  Connecti- 
cut, with  the  consent  of  Jane,  my  wife,  to  John  Russell  of  Branford, 
our  whole  right,  title  and  interest  in  the  undivided  lands  in  the 
Township  of  Branford,  being  one-seventh  part  of  ye  said  land  which 
are  our  right  in  the  estate  of  our  Honrd  Father,  Mr.  William  Malt- 
bie, late  of  Branford,  dec'd. 

Daniel  Maltbie.  17  Jan.,  1710-11. 

Samuel  Maltbie. 

David  Parker  and  Jane  ^Maltby  very  evidently  had  no  children. 

Mr.  Francis  Parker  of  Hartford,  Conn.,  very  kindly  furnished 
the  following  records :  "David  Parker,  son  of  William  and  Margery 

Parker,  was  born  in  Saybrook,  the  latter  end  of  February, 

1657-8."     In  May  1682  the  General  Assembly  exempted  him  from 


272  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

the  payment  of  poll  taxes  because  he  was  "disabled  from  attending 
to  his  business  by  a  wound  in  the  head."  No  other  reference  to 
this  injury  is  found.  Presumably  it  was  permanent  in  its  character 
and  debarred  him  from  severe  physical  exertion.  The  town  of  Say- 
brook  granted  him  five  acres  of  land  in  1679,  perhaps  for  services 
in  the  Indian  wars,  but  the  reason  of  the  grant  is  not  stated.  He 
held  the  office  of  lister  in  1695  and  1706,  and  was  constable  in  1698. 
He  also  held  many  minor  town  offices. 

David  and  Jane  (Alaltbie)  -Parker  had  no  children  and  David 
Parker,  "yeoman,"  as  he  describes  himself,  died  in  Jan.,  1723,  having 
survived  his  wife.  His  will,  dated  Jan.  11,  1723,  was  acknowledged 
before  a  magistrate  Jan.  15,  1723.  and  probated  in  Guilford,  Jan. 
29,  1723.  He  gave  legacies  to  his  brothers,  William  and  Joseph 
Parker;  to  nephews,  Joseph  and  Jonathon  Parker;  to  his  grand- 
nephews,  Abner,  John  and  Nathaniel  Parker,  but  bequeathed  the 
bulk  of  his  estate  to  his  grand-niece,  Deborah  Parker,  who  subse- 
quently married  Isaac  Jones.  He  gave  a  piece  of  land,  a  part  of  his 
homestead,  to  Saybrook  Church,  on  condition  that  a  meeting  house 
be  built  upon  it,  also  another  piece  of  land  for  the  support  of  ''our 
orthodox  dissenting  ministery  in  Saybrook."  The  church  declined 
to  build  a  meeting  house  on  the  first  lot,  and  it  reverted  to  Deborah 
Parker.     His  estate  inventoried  £487 — 5 — 4. 

Some  of  the  items  in  his  inventory  were : 

one  gold  ring,   i8s. 
one  silver  spoon,  los. 
three  silver  buckles,  3s. 
two  pairs  of  silver  clasps,  5s. 
pewter  table  ware,  £3,  4s,  4d. 

also  "two  volums  of  sermons,  three  bibles,  one  palsm  book,  two  old 
books  and  two  paper  books,  and  several  articles  of  brass  and  tin 
ware." 

Note. — William  Parker  was  one  of  the  original  proprietors  of  Hart- 
ford, 1636.  It  is  not  known  from  what  English  town  he  came.  He  removed 
to  Saybrook  in  1645.  According  to  Saybrook  Records,  Vol.  I.,  p.  24  he 
married  "Margery  Allen,  daughter  of  William  Allen  of  London,  Eng.,  and 
afterwards  married  Elizabeth  Pratt,  widow  of  Lieut.  Wm.  Pratt  and  daughter 
of  John  Clarke.  1st.  He  was  a  doctor.  He  died  21  Dec,  1686.  He  was  the 
son  of  John  Parker  of  Dantry,  Northamptonshire,  Eng,  and  his  mother 
was  a  daughter  of  William   Cross.'' 


MALTBY— FA.AIILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  273 


WILLIAM  ^lALTBY  (2) 

William  ]\Ialtby,  Jr..  was  born  Jan.  9,  1673-4,  at  New  Haven, 
Conn.,  and  was  a  child  of  a  first  wife.  He  resided  in  Xew  Haven 
previous  to  1700,  and  from  the  following  record  we  learn  that  he 
resided  on  the  corner  of  Water  and  Union  streets,  the  then  fashion- 
able part  of  town,  and  here,  doubtless,  he  watched  the  good  Brigan- 
tine  "Friends  Adventure"  of  which  he  w^as  captain,  and  his  father 
owner,  riding  at  anchor  in  the  harbor.  The  Trowbridge  Genealogy, 
p.  52,  tells  us  that  "Hezekiah  Sabin  came  to  New  Haven  about  1743. 
He  bought  of  the  heirs  of  William  Maltbie,  the  house  on  the  corner 
of  W^ater  and  L^nion  streets,  near  the  Creek." 

William  Maltby,  Jun.,  married  Elizabeth  Morris,  daughter  of 
John  Morris.  He  evidently  was  of  Branford  in  1690,  for  in  that 
year  he  joined  the  church  there.  I  think  he  removed  to  New  Haven 
about  the  time  of  his  marriage,  as  we  find  this  record:  (New  Haven 
Town  Records,  Vol.  II..  pp.  11-12)  "John  Morris,  shipwright,  of 
New  Haven,  for  £110  sells  his  house  and  his  land  to  his  son-in-law, 
William  Maltbie  of  New  Haven,  Mariner,  whose  wife  is  Elizabeth 
Morris  Maltby,  Jan.  i,  1698-99." 

Note. — The  wife  of  John  Morris  was  Hannah  Bishop,  oldest  child  of 
Deputy  Governor  James  Bishop.  She  was  the  mother  of  Elizabeth  Morris 
who  married  William  Maltby.  Jr.  Abigail  Bishop,  third  wife  of  William 
Maltby,  Sr.,  was  a  sister  of  Hannah  (Bishop)  INIorris,  and  therefore  own 
aunt  to  Elizabeth  Morris  Maltby  and  step-mother  to  her  husband,  William 
Maltby,  Jr. 

"William  Maltby  was  a  sea  captain  and  died  in  the  AVest  Indies. 
1701,  aged  only  27,"  writes  Mrs.  Cushman,  while  Mr.  Ralph  D. 
Smith  says,  "he  was  lost  at  sea.  in  March.  1701";  and  another  rec- 
ord reads :  "he  died  of  yellow  fever  in  the  West  Indies."  From  the 
few  records  which  follow  we  can  see  that  he  left  New  Haven  in 
December,  1700.  as  "Master  of  the  Friend's  Adventure."  and  never 
returned  to  his  wife  and  infant  son. 

1700.  Dec.  3.  "Wm.  Maltbie.  Master  of  ye  Brigantine  fifriend's 
Adventure,  made  complaint  against  Daniell  Thomas  of  said  New 
Haven,  for  absenting  himself  from  the  vessel  without  leave."  (New 
Haven  Records  of  County  Court.  \"ol.  II..  p.  52.)  And  again  in 
Vol.  II..  p.  53  :  "Wm.  Maltbie  of  New  Haven.  Master  of  ye  Brigaii- 
tine  Friend's  Adventure,  was  fined  £5  for  receiving  on  board  a  quan- 
tity of  hogs  head  heading  and  other  timber  contrary  to  law." 

Capt.  William  Maltby  died  without  a  will.

Vol.  II.,  p.  65,  New  Haven  Records  has  the  following:

This  inventory  will  bear  a  little  study.  The  "Corrils,  Baskets 
and  Trays  he  evidently  had  brought  home  from  his  West  India 
voyages,  also  the  Rum  and  Molases  which  he.  of  course,  sold  in 
New  England,  purchased  commodities  for  the  Island  trade  and 
returned  with  "full  cargoes." 

"Debts  due  ye  estate  in  Barbadoes."  This  is  important  and 
certainly  looks  as  though  the  Alaltbys  had  property  there.  The 
molases,  sugar,  rum.  etc..  may  have  been  made  from  their  own 
plantation. 

Mr.  John  Morris,  his  father-in-law.  had  evidently  transported 
goods  for  him  and  hence  he  owed  him  for  freight. 

Why  Elizabeth  Morris  should  have  signed  'M.  Maltbie,  widow," 
as  executrix,  is  puzzling.  There  is  no  question  as  to  who  the  widow 
of  William,  Jr.,  was — she  was  Elizabeth  Morris  and  this  is  proved 
by  all  records. 

There  is  a  bill  of  Samuel  Coloys  of  Milford  for  £6,  i6s,  ood.

shom  Brown,  mariner,  and  Matthew  Row  of  New  Haven,  de- 
fendants. (New  Haven  County  Court  Records,  Vol.  H.,  p.  494.) 
Until  1 712,  Mrs.  Elizabeth  (Morris)  Maltbie  seems  to  have 
lived  with  her  father,  or  perhaps  we  should  say  her  father  lived 
with  her  in  New  Haven.  In  17 12  Mr.  Morris  died,  and  in  171 3. 
Mrs.  Elizabeth  Maltby  married  Rev.  John  Davenport  of  Stamford. 

Note. — She  was  the  mother  of  the  Hon.  Abraham  Davenport  and  the

DANIEL  MALTBY    (2) 

Daniel  Maltby  was  born  May  19,  1679,  according  to  the  Bran- 
ford  Records.  He  united  with  the  church  at  Branford  in  1700. 
Esther  Moss,  who  was  to  become  his  wife,  joined  the  church  at  the 
same  time.  She  was  a  daughter  of  John  and  Mary  (Lothrop)  Moss 
and  granddaughter  of  John  Moss  of  New  Haven,  1639.  On  her 
mother's  side  she  was  descended  as  follows : 

LOWTHROP   OF    LOWTHROPE,    YORKS. 

1.  John  Lowthrope  of  Lowthrope,  was  living  early  in  the  i6th 
century,  in  Cherry  Burton,  a  parish  about  four  miles  from  Low- 
throp,  where  he  had  an  extensive  estate.  In  1548  he  appeared 
on  York  subsidy  roll. 

2.  Robert   Lowthrop,    son    of   above,    married    Ellen   . 

He  died  in  1558. 

3.  Thomas  Lothrop,  son  of  above,  was  first  of  Cherry  Bur- 
ton, later  of  Elton.  Yorks.     His  wife  was  Mary  ,  who  died 

ar  Elton  in  1688. 

4.  Rev.  John  Lothrop,  12th  child  of  above,  was  born  at  Elton, 
East  Riding,  Yorks.,  Dec.  20,  1584;  was  bred  at  Oxford;  graduated 
at  Queen's  College,  1605.  He  married  Hannah  Howse  of  East- 
well,  Kent  Co.  The  marriage  license  was  issued  in  Canterbury, 
Kent  Co.,  Oct.  10,  1610.     She  died  in  1633. 

5.  Samuel  Lothrop,  6th  child  of  above.  New  London,  Conn., 
married  Elizabeth  Scudder,  Nov.  28,  1644. 

6.  Mary  Lothrop,  daughter  of  above,  married  John  Moss. 

7.  Esther  Moss,  daughter  of  above,  born  Jan.  5,  1678,  mar- 
ried Daniel  Maltby. 

Daniel  Maltby  married  Esther  Moss  (Morse)  October  2^,  1702 
(Branford  Records.  \o\.  Index  of  Births,  etc.,  1694). 

1703.  June  14.  "Daniel  Maltbie  entered  his  ear  mark,  which 
IS  a  crop  on  the  top  of  both  ears,  and  a  hollow  crop  on  the  near  ear" 
(Branf.  Rec.  Vol.  I.,  p.  224). 

1705.  April  12.  "At  a  meeting  of  the  Proprietors  in  Bran- 
ford  commencing   March   25,   and   closing  April    12,    1705,   Daniel 


278  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

Alaltbie   desired  them  to  give   him   about  2   acres   of   sedgy   land, 
which  was  granted"  (Branf.  Rec,  Vol.  II.,  p.  249). 

1 710.  Daniel  Maltby  seems  to  have  been  "set  up  in  life"  by  his 
father,  for  in  William  Maltby's  will  he  gives  "to  my  son  Daniel,  all 
that  house  and  land  where  he  now  lives." 

17 10.  October.  "Daniel  Maltby  was  appointed  guardian  to 
Jonathon  ]\Ialtbie,  minor,  son  of  Wm.  Maltbie  of  Branford,  de- 
ceased" (New  Haven  Probate  Rec,  V'^ol.  III.,  p.  235).  This  half- 
brother,  Jonathon,  was  then  but  twelve  years  of  age  and  evidently 
remained  the  ward  of  Daniel  only  a  short  while,  for  on  page  66  of 
the  New  Haven  records,  we  find :  "Jonathon  Maultbie,  Minor,  child 
of  Mr.  William  Maultbie,  Late  of  Branford  did  appear  and  made 
choice  of  Mr.  Edward  Barker  of  Branford  for  to  be  his  guardian." 

171 1.  October  15.  "In  staking  out  lots  on  Mulliner's  Neck 
D.  M.  was  to  stand  for  Daniel  Maltbie"  (Branf.  Rec,  Vol.  I.,  p.  342). 

The  following  items  are  from  the  Branford  Records :  Vol.  III., 
p.  81.  Deed  to  Daniel  Maltbie  from  /\llen  Ball.  In  a  list  of  Free- 
men in  Branford,  1714  to  1730  (Branford  Records)  the  name  of 
Daniel  Maltby  is  i8th  on  the  list.

1 719.  It  was  in  this  year  (Oct.  26)  that  Samuel  (2)  and 
Jonathon  (2),  half-brothers  of  Daniel  (2).  performed  the  highly 
commendable  but  rather  rare  act  of  giving  Daniel  eight  acres  of

father.

closely  related  to  the  John  Parrish  from  whom  Daniel  Maltby  received  land. 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  279 

land  they  believed  their  father,  William,  intended  Daniel  to  have, 
although  not  specified  in  his  will.  This  was  a  very  fine  thing  to 
do,  and  also,  as  a  descendant  of  Daniel,  it  leads  one  to  believe  that 
Daniel's  character  was  gentle  and  lovable — for  we  all  know  that 
no  one  is  anxious  to  bestow  gifts  upon  ill-tempered  and  unamiable 
persons. 

1722.  Vol.  IV.,  p.  445.  Deed  "Jonathon  Maltbie  of  Stamford, 
cordwainer,  for  ^130  gives  his  brother,  Daniel  Maltbie,  of  Bran- 
ford,  10  acres  of  land,  being  Jonathon's  share  of  the  home  lot,  given 
him  by  his  father,  William,  Dec.  7,  1722. 

The  tombstone  of  Daniel  Maltby  lies  quite  near  those  of  his 
father  and  stepmother.  "Daniel  Maltbie  departed  this  life,  Dec.  ye 
26,  A.  D.  1 73 1,  in  the  morning."  (Branford  Records,  Vol.j'  1694.) 

His  plain  and  tasteful  tombstone  reads : 
Mr.  Daniel  Maltbie 
Died  Dec.  25,  1731 
In  53d  year." 
At  the  end  of  Christmas  day,  we  judge  from  the  above. 

His  will  is  probated  at  Guilford  and  was  copied,  with  the  in- 
ventory of  his  estate,  by  Miss  Scofield. 

His  widow,  Esther  (Moss)  Maltby.  married  Deacon  Samuel 
Todd,  June  14,  1739  (Connecticut  Marriages  Branford).  Also  "Tut- 
tle  Family  Genealogy,  page  325.  This  states :  "June  20th."  The  New 
Haven  Records  read :  "Mrs.  Esther  Maltby  of  Branford  arid  Mr. 
Samuel  Todd,  Jun.  (mar)  June  10,  1739. 

The  will  of  Daniel  Maltbie  was  found  on  the  Guilford  Pro- 
bate Records.  \^ol.  II.,  p.  436.  He  calls  himself  "Yeoman"  and 
makes  his  will  22  Dec,  1731.  His  wife.  Esther,  and  son,  Joseph, 
were  named  as  Executors. 

The  will  provides  liberally  for  wife  Esther,  sons  Joseph.  Daniel 
and  Benjamin,  and  to  each  of  his  daughters,  Esther,  Abigail  and 
Martha. 

From  Daniel's  will  it  would  seem  that  Mary.  William  and  John 
were  all  dead  when  his  will  was  made.  Also  that  Daniel,  third 
child,  died  as  we  find  the  seventh  child  also  named  Daniel. 

The  children  of  Daniel  and  Esther  Moss  Maltby  were : 
T.     Mary.  b.  Dec.  7.  1703   (Branford  Rec,  Vol.  I.,  p.  211).

MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  287 

This  inventory  shows  one  much,  I  beheve,  of  this  many  times 
•'great"  grandfather.  One  sees  all  his  livestock;  can  hear  him  talk 
about  that  "old  yallowish  cow,"  and  see  the  great  number  of  farm 
tools  (for  that  he  owned  a  great  number  is  clearly  shown  by  his 
inventory)  stacked  about  in  the  barns  and  sheds;  the  wheels  which 
spun,  the  churns  which  made  the  butter,  and  tubs  that  held  the 
vinegar — "a  few  old  books" — treasured  gifts  most  probably  from 
bis  father,  and  sure  sign  of  birth  and  breeding.  Were  they  not 
eagerly  pored  over,  read  and  re-read,  perhaps  read  aloud  by  the 
then  oldest  son,  Joseph,*  in  the  long  evenings,  preparatory  to  his 
leaving  the  farm  to  be  educated  at  Yale  (then  King's  College)  so 
he  might  be  fitted  to  occupy  his  proper  place  in  life. 

There  had  been  no  college  nearer  than  Harvard  when  Daniel 
was  young  to  which  he  could  go  and  when  the  college  at  New 
Haven  was  started  it  was  too  late  to  be  of  use  to  him,  he  was 
married  and  settled  down  to  the  life  of  a  farmer,  hence  in  his  will, 
though  equally  entitled  to  the  "Gentleman"  or  "Esqre"  of  his 
fathers,  he  says,  "I  Daniel  ]\Ialtbie,  Yeoman." 

Grandly  simple,  unassuming  words  they  seem  to  his  descendant 
who  writes  this  sketch.  His  father,  in  making  his  will,  says,  "I 
William  Maltby.  Esqre."  One  brother  is  called  "Captain"  and 
another  "Gentleman"  and  this  is  as  it  should  be,  but  we  who  follow 
after  him  are  fond  of  this  simple-hearted  country  gentleman  living 
upon  his  broad  acres  in  this  new  country,  the  wholesome,  honorable 
hfe  of  an  upright  land-owner. 

Such  a  one  earns  what  he  has  by  persistence  and  care ;  his  gain 
is  not  taking  the  life-giving  food  from  another;  the  money  thus 
gained  is  not  blood-money  or  got  by  graft,  and  so  we  who  descend 
from  this  long  departed  ancestor  give  thanks  for  any  strain  of 
heredity  which  teaches  us  the  patience  of  toil,  the  homiliness  of  the 
big  fireside  and  the  joys  of  life  in  the  open. 

*  So  many  subscribers  to  this  book  descend  from  Captain  Joseph  Maltby 
that  a  word  'or  two  concerning  him  is  inserted.  Until  very  recently  the 
name  of  his  wife  was  unknown,  taut  this  has  now  been  discovered  by  Miss 
Ethel  Lord  Scofleld  of  East  Haven.  Conn.  She  was  Elizabeth  Pratt.  Her 
ancestrv  has  been  verv  kindlv  conrtibuted  by  Mr.  Douglas  B.  Thompson 
of    W^ashlngton.    D.    C,    as    follows:      "Elizabeth    Pratt    was    a    daughter    of 

Jonathon   and   Elizabeth  Pratt   of  Hartford,    Conn.,    and   granddaughter 

of    John    and    Hepsiah    Pratt,    and    great    granddaughter    of    John    and 

Elizabeth  Pratt,  who  died  at  Hartford,  July  15.  16.55."  The  "Descend- 
ants of  John  Pratt,"  published  in  1S44,  states  that  "Elizabeth  Pratt  married 
AVllliam  Moulbe  and  nothing  further  has  been  ascertained  of  her."  This  is 
evidently  an  error,  for  we  find  Noah  (4)  Maltby.  son  of  Capt.  Joseph  (3) 
"chooses  his  uncle  Moses  Pratt  of  Hartford.  Guardian."  In  old  manuscripts 
it  is  claimed  that  Joseph  (3)  Maltby  entered  Yale  College,  but  did  not 
graduate  on  account  of  ill  health.  Rev.  Jonathan  (4)  Maltby  states:  "He 
was  a  ship  Master  and   followed   the  seas."

SAMUEL  MALTBY  (2) 

A  pen  picture  of  Samuel  Maltby  was  written  for  the  first  Re- 
union of  the  Maltby  family,  at  Branford,  by  Mrs.  J.  P.  Cushman,  a 
great,  great,  great,  great-granddaughter,  and  we  consider  it  the  fit- 
ting and  best  of  introductions  to  this  long  deceased  ancestor. 

Mrs.  Cushman's  Address  on  Samuel  AIaltry  (2) 

It  seems  hardly  appropriate  for  a  descendant  of  Samuel  (2)  to 
occupy  a  moment  of  our  precious  Reunion  afternoon,  we  are  so 
hopelessly  in  the  minority  of  members.  Have  you  counted  the 
printed  list  in  our  fourth  annual  report?  Seven  only  from  Samuel, 
eight  from  Jonathon,  and  ninety-five  from  Daniel !  One  is  tempted 
to  ask,  "Who  would  not  be  a  Daniel  ?"  rather  than  stand  so  con- 
spicuously alone. 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  289 

However,  as  one  purpose  of  our  Association  is  to  collect  and 
preserve  memorials  of  those  who  have  passed  into  the  land  of  silence, 
let  me  give  a  few  gleanings  made  from  records  and  traditions  con- 
cerning Samuel  (2),  seventh  child  of  William,  our  emigrant  an- 
cestor, by  whose  grave  we  are  to  stand  this  afternoon. 

For  one,  I  am  deeply  grateful  that  English  Research  work,  the 
past  year,  has  furnished  four  generations  of  Maltbys  to  fill  in  the 
background  for  any  sketch  of  our  American  forbears.  We  can  now 
see  John  (ij  and  Alargerie  of  five  hundred  years  ago  with  their 
four  children:  Richard  (2)  and  his  three:  John  (3)  and  Margaret 
with  seven;  John  (4)  and  Alary  with  five — three  of  whom  came  to 
this  New  World  about  1670,  viz  :  John,  William  and  Robert. 

It  is  as  the  descendants  of  William  that  we  are  gathered  at 
Branford  to  commemorate  the  two  hundredth  anniversary  of  his 
oeath.  From  our  Genealogist  we  know  he  was  a  man  of  wealth 
and  high  position,  a  "gentleman"  of  his  time,  thrice  married  and 
the  father  of  eight  children.  No  one  has  learned  the  name  of  his 
first  wife,  the  mother  of  two  sons  and  two  daughters.  The  second 
wife,  Hannah  Hosmer  was  undoubtedly  the  mother  of  Elizabeth 
and  the  Daniel  whose  descendants  make  so  good  a  showing  on  our 
roll  of  members.  A  third  wife,  Abigail  Bishop,  was  the  mother  of 
Samuel  and  Jonathon.  It  is  this  Samuel,  of  the  second  generation 
in  America,  who  is  the  subject  of  our  thought  for  a  few  moments. 

His  mother,  Abigail  Bishop,  was  the  daughter  of  Dept.  Gov. 
James  Bishop  of  New  Haven,  and  was  born  at  that  place  Oct.  30, 
1659.  I  have  found  no  date  of  her  marriage,  but  her  first  son, 
Samuel  (2),  was  born  Aug.  7,  1693,  in  Branford.  It  must  have 
been  a  home  of  comparative  luxury,  for  the  inventory  of  his  father's 
estate  mentions  many  chairs,  looking  glasses,  forks,  spoons,  table- 
cloths and  napkins  and  two  negro  slaves.  It  is  pleasant  to  have 
seen  the  record  of  his  birth  in  his  father's  handwriting.  (Branford 
records.  Vol.  II.) 

The  state  records  show  the  father  was  a  member  of  the  General 
Court  at  Hartford  in  October  of  that  year.  The  baby  Samuel  was 
baptized  before  he  was  a  month  old  as  I  read  in  the  Branford  Church 
records  in  manuscript. 

These  precious  church  records.  Mar.  7,  1687-8.  I  was  permitted 
to  see  many  years  ago  at  the  home  of  Rev.  Mr.  Gillet,  the  Pastor, 
just  a  week  before  his  sudden  death.  They  were  always  kept,  care- 
fully wrapped,  on  a  little  table  near  his  bed,  that  in  case  of  fire  they 
might  at  once  be  taken  up  and  carried  to  a  place  of  safety.  The 
church  had  begun  to  appreciate  their  value  and  voted  that,  "no  one

remove  them  from  their  present  custody  except  by  special  permis- 
sion, granted  at  a  formal  business  meeting."  Is  it  known  where 
they  are  now?  Of  course  they  should  have  been  transcribed  long 
ago. 

Who  made  up  the  family  circle  to  which  little  Samuel  was 
added  more  than  two  centuries  ago?  His  half  sister  Jane  had  mar- 
ried David  Parker  three  years  before.  John  had  not  yet  married 
and  moved  to  Saybrook.  Mary  probably  died.  William  loved  the 
sea,  married  and  moved  to  New  Haven,  became  Captain  of  "ye  good 
Brigantine,  the  'Friend's  Adventure,'  "  and  was  lost  at  sea  when 
only  twenty-seven  years  old.  Elizabeth  was  seventeen,  and  Daniel 
fourteen. 

When  Samuel  was  less  than  3  years  old,  a  little  brother,  Jona- 
than, made  his  advent  in  the  Maltby  household.  The  boyhood  of 
these  two  own  brothers  we  may  picture  for  ourselves  without  a  line 
of  history.  I  found  no  record  of  Samuel's  uniting  with  the  Bran- 
ford  church,  and  no  hint  of  his  preparatory  studies.  He  must  have 
had  advantages,  however,  for  he  graduated  from  Yale  in  1712,  be- 
fore he  was  nineteen,  in  a  class  of  two,  the  other  being  young 
Russel,  son  of  the  Branford  pastor.  Rev.  Samuel  Russell,  in  whose 
house  Yale  College  was  founded.  During  his  college  course  Samuel 
was  bereaved  by  the  death  of  his  father,  Sept.  i,  1710.  and  being  a 
minor  became  the  ward  of  his  uncle,  Samuel  Bishop.  Though  only 
seventeen  years  old  he  was  named  with  his  mother  as  executor  of 
his  father's  will,  with  this  same  uncle  Samuel  Bishop  (for  whom  he 
may  have  been  named)  as  advisor  and  assistant.  But  the  dear 
mother  followed  her  husband  in  less  than  two  months,  Oct.  24,  1710, 
and  was  buried  by  his  side. 

By  his  father's  will,  Jonathon,  the  youngest  son,  received  the 
"mansion  house"  in  Branford  and  Samuel  had  the  "Orchard"  vari- 
ous sections  of  land  in  and  around  Branford  with  one  half  of  any 
individual  portion.  So  he  was  probably  well  equipped  to  begin 
life  in  his  own  name.  In  the  list  of  "Freemen  of  Branford  from 
1715  his  name  accurs  as  the  fifty-first. 

December  18,  171 5,  he  married  Elizabeth  Barker,  daughter  of 
William  and  Elizabeth  Barker,  who  was  born  in  Branford,  Decem- 
ber, 1691,  and  so  was  a  year  and  a  half  older  than  her  husband. 
The  ceremony  was  performed  by  Nathan  Harrison,  justice  of  the 
peace,  as  was  the  custom  of  that  time.  The  graves  of  her  ])arents, 
William  and  Elizabeth  Barker,  lie  very  near  those  of  her  husband's 
parents,  William  and     Agigail  Maltby. 


AIALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  291 

I  found  a  curious  record  among  the  church  manuscripts  in 
Rev.  ^Ir,  Gillete's  possession.  It  was  written  by  the  first  pastor, 
Rev.  Samuel  Russel,  in  the  church  book,  and  then  the  pen  was 
drawn  across  it  twice,  as  if  it  had  been  put  in  the  wrong  place. 
I  could  not  decipher  every  word. 

"Agreed  with  SI.  Maltbie  to  keep  school  for  the  full  .  .  .  one 
year,  commencing  from  the  first  of  January,  1719  (  ?),  and  have  en- 
gaged him  thirty  pounds  passable   money   .    .    .   his  labor. 

"Paid  to  S.  Maltbie  for  the  quarter  .  .  .  kept  school,  seven 
pounds  and  forty  shillings  toward  payment  of  the  present  year." 

So  Samuel  (2)  was  a  school  teacher  four  years  after  his  mar- 
riage. 

The  following  item  from  \'"ol.  IV.  of  Branford  Records  was  very 
gratifying:  "Deed.  Oct.  26,  1719.  Samuel  &  Jonathon  Alaltbie  of 
Branford,  being  fully  persuaded  it  was  ye  mind  and  will  of  our 
Honrd.  Father  Willm.  ^Maltbie  that  our  brother  Daniel  Maltbie 
should  have  all  his  right  and  interest  in  Beaver  Swamp,  although 
not  specified  in  ye  last  will  of  our  Honrd.  Father,  have  therefore 
given — ^& —  all  our  rights  in  ye  above  swamp,  8  acres — etc." 

The  brother  Jonathon  moved  to  Stamford  and  sold  out  to 
Samuel  some  of  the  Branford  lands.  To  these  Samuel  added  "three 
several  parcels  of  land  in  the  Crotch  of  Bantam  or  Mill  River,  in 
Litchfield,  for  £220  and  later  three  sixty  acre  lots  and  a  lOO-acre 
lot  in  the  Crotch  of  Bantam  Swamp,  so  called,  for  £560."  These 
Items  I  found  in  Litchfield  Records,  Vols.  L  and  IL  Had  the  spirit 
of  speculation  already  descended  upon  the  earliest  colonists  of  that 
section  ! 

Samuel  was  town  clerk  in  Branford  from  December,  1721,  to 
November  22d,  1746,  a  period  of  twenty-five  years.  The  records 
are  in  his  handwriting  from  Vol.  IW.  page  384  to  Vol.  VL,  page  602. 

It  is  a  find  round  hand,  easily  read,  and  pleasant  to  the  eyes  of 
his  great,  great,  great,  great-granddaughter ! 

In  lanuarv,  1724-5,  a  license  was  granted  him  tn  keep  a  tavern 
in  his  now  dwelling  house  until  County  Court  in  April.  1726.  Bond 
of  £20.  This  was  renewed  to  "Capt.  Samuel  Maltbie"  till  1728. 
How  this  title  of  Captain  was  secured  I  do  not  know,  but  it  clung 
to  him  from  1727  to  his  death,  and  is  found  on  his  tombstone.  [He 
was  Saptain  of  Militia,  according  to  Yale  Class  Histories.] 

In  the  manuscript  records  at  the  State  House,  Hartford,  "Vol. 
III.  Ecclesiastical,"  I  found  Samuel  Maltbie's  name  signed  to  a  peti- 
tion, ]\Iay  12,  1726.    Its  nature  I  have  not  recorded. 


292  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— iAIALTBIE 

The  latest  date  thus  far  has  been  1746,  the  close  of  his  quarter- 
century  as  town  clerk.  Next  comes  his  will,  four  years  later — 
January  4th,  1750-1,  made  nearly  a  year  before  his  death.  "Being 
very  sick  and  broke  in  body"  he  signed  it  only  with  a  mark!  This 
w^as  found  among  the  Probate  Records  of  Guilford.  The  estate  was 
\alued  at  £7425.45.  Lands  amounted  to  more  than  £5000.  A  negro 
boy,  silver  spoons,  clock,  ring,  seal  and  coat-of-arms  are  mentioned 
in  the  personal  property.  How  I  should  like  to  recover  from  the 
past  all — not  the  African. 

This  life  which  we  have  been  tracing  was  closed  on  earth  De- 
cember 2,  1 75 1,  after  fifty-eight  and  a  half  years.  The  burial  was 
in  Northford  and  it  is  probable  Captain  Samuel  had  moved  from 
Branford  Center  to  Northford — a  part  of  Branford — where  he  owned 
land,  and  his  son,  Samuel  (3),  Jr.,  had  settled.  A  picture  of  the 
tombstone  is  given  in  Booklet  No.  2.  page  70.  also  on  page  68  the 
house  built  by  his  son.  Samuel  (3),  and  in  which  perhaps  Captain 
Samuel  died,  as  did  five  generations  of  his  direct  descendants.  Is 
not  this  the  oldest  Maltby  house  in  existence?  It  has  been  sug- 
gested that  the  Association  purchase  it  for  a  Repository  and  Rally- 
ing place ! 

The  children  of  Captain  Samuel  (2)  were  Abigail.  James  and 
Rebecca,  who  died  before  their  father;  Samuel  (3)  Jr.,  Alary  and 
,Sarah,  who  outlived  him. 

This  son,  Samuel  (3),  Jr..  was  father  of  the  third  Samuel  (4). 
Then  followed  John  (5),  Rev.  John  (6)  and  another  Samuel  (7) 
my  brother.    So  the  line  has  been  : — 

1.  William,  the  emigrant 

2.  Capt.  Samuel 

3.  Samuel 

4.  Samuel 

5.  John 

6.  Rev.  John 

7.  Samuel — seven  generations  with  the  very  remarkable  record 
that  all  sleep  in  the  Northford  "God's  Acre"  with  the  exception  of 
the  first,  our  common  ancestor. 

The  following  records  were  largely  furnished  by  ]\Irs.  Cushman 
and  arranged  and  added  to  by  the  compiler. 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  293 


CAPTAIN  SAMUEL  AIALTBY  (2)  "A.B." 

Samuel  Maltby  is  called  Captain  and  Squire.  He  was  born  at 
Branford,  Aug.  7,  1693,  ^"^1  the  record  of  his  birth  is  there  to  be 
seen  in  the  handwriting  of  his  father.  He  was  baptized  the  same 
month.  (Branf.  Ch.  Rec,  in  M.S.) 

171 2.     He  was  graduated  at  Yale  College  in  the  class  of  171 2 

with  the  degree  of  A.B.,  at  the  age  of  19  (Yale  Triennial  Catalogue). 
His  father's  death  occurred  during  his  college  course,  and  on  Jan. 
13,  1712-13,  we  find,  at  a  Court  held  this  date,  "Samuel  Maultby, 
minor,  of  Branford,  by  Samuel  Bishop,  his  overseer  and  next  friend, 
and  William  Maultby,  of  New  Haven,  minor,  by  Elizabeth  Maultby, 
his  mother  and  next  friend,  plaintiffs  contra  Henry  Cook  of  Bran- 
ford. yeoman  and  defendant." 

1715.  Samuel  Maltby  married  Elizabeth  Barker,  Dec.  8,  1715. 
(She  was  born  in  Branford,  Dec.  1691,  Bran.  Rec.  Vol.  H.)  The 
ceremony  was  performed  by  Nathan  Harrison,  Justice  of  the  Peace, 
as  was  the  custom  of  the  day,  but  he  was  very  probably  a  near  rela- 
tive, as  Elizabeth  Barker  was  the  daughter  of  William  and  Eliza- 
beth Harrison  Barker.  Elizabeth  Harrison  was  born  in  1667  and 
was  the  daughter  of  Sergt.  Thomas  Harrison,  who  was  born  in 
England  in  1630  and  married  March  29,  1665-6,  the  widow  Elizabeth 
Stent.  He  died  in  Branford  in  1704.  According  to  Branford  Burial 
Elizabeth  Harrison  Barker  died  Jan.  22,  1741,  and  her  husband, 
William  Barker,  died  Feb.  i.  1741.  (For  the  Harrison  data  I  am 
indebted  to  (Mrs.)  Frances  Harrison  Corbin  of  New  Haven.)

473)- 

1743.  Case  of  debt  (\'ol.  IW,  p.  191). 

1744.  Case  of  debt  (Vol.  IV.,  p.  224). 

1740.  In  connection  with  Capt.  Samuel  Alaltby  it  would 
perhaps  be  w^ell  to  turn  to  Part  I.  under  date  1740.  and  read  the 
article  copied  from  Thomas  Hutchinson's  History  of  Massachusetts, 
which  refers  to  "Air.  jMaltby,  a  large  dealer  in  Coventry  Stuffs  and 
a  zealous  dissenter"  and  who  seems  to  have  spent  "three  weeks  at 
Coventry,"  using  all  his  influence.  Did  he  visit  relatives  in  Eng- 
land, and  perhaps  bring  back  with  him  the  coat-of-arms  men- 
tioned in  his  inventory  ? 

1743.  We  insert  a  deed,  dated  1743.  The  question  arises  as 
to  whether  it  pertains  to  Samuel  Alaltby.  son  of  William,  Esq.  We 
know  of  no  other  Samuel  Alaltby  living  at  this  date.  Of  course 
it  might  be  that  the  following  record  concerns  a  descendant  of 
Robert  Alaltby,  the  emigrant.     It  is  an  unsolved  problem  at  present. 

"Springfield  Deeds,  Vol.  N.,  207.  Xormand  Alorrison  of  Hart- 
ford, etc.,  iiooo  to  Samuel  Alaltby  of  Boston  in  the  Co.  of  Suffolk 
and  province  of  Alass.  Bay,  Alerchant,  two  parcells  of  land  lying 
in  the  town  of  Bedford  in  the  Co.  of  Hampshire.  1238  acres. 

"20  April,   1743." 

The  compiler  believes  this  refers  to  Samuel  (3).  son  of  Capt. 
Samuel  (2).  He  was  born  in  1718,  hence  would  have  been  25 
years  of  age  in  1743.  There  is  another  Boston  record  in  1739. 
which  reads :  "Samuel  Alaltby  married  Ann  Dyer  at  Boston,  April 
30,   1739."     This  is  evidently  the  same   Samuel  as  of  Deed  dated 

1743-

1752.  From  Branford  Deeds,  Vol.  VII.,  p.  232,  we  learn  that. 
"Elizabeth  Maltbie  of  Branford,  Widow  and  Relict  of  Capt.  Sampel

The  following  Land  Record  from  Branford,  Vol.  VI.,  dated 
Jan.  7,  1758,  is  worth  inserting  here: 

"We,  Edward  Barker  of  Branford.  John  Barker  of  Walling-

It  is  a  matter  for  sincere  regret  that  the  coat-of-arms  men- 
tioned in  this  inventory  has  been  lost  to  posterity.  It  might  prove 
the  strongest  possible  evidence  in  making  the  connection  with  some 
ancient  English  pedigree.

CAPT.    JONATHON    MALTBIE   (2).   Gentleman 

Jonathon  Maltbie.  the  eighth  child  of  William  Maltby  and  the 
second  child  of  his  third  wife,  Abigail  Bishop,  was  born  at  Bran- 
ford,  Conn.,  July  26,  1698,  and  his  birth  is  so  recorded  in  the  hand- 
writing of  his  father.  (Branf.  Rec,  Vol.  II.)  He  was  baptized 
the  same  month.     (Branf.  Ch.  Records,  in  M.S.) 

In  March,  171 5.  at  the  age  of  seventeen  he  united  with  the 
church  at  Branford  (Branf.  Ch.  Man.  p.  21).  In  Oct.,  1710,  Daniel 
Maltbie,  his  half-brother,  was  "appointed  guardian  to  Jonathon 
Maltbie,  minor,  son  of  Wm.  Maltbie  of  Branford,  deceased"  (New 
Haven  Probate  Rec,  Vol.  III.,  p.  235).  Jonathon  at  this  time  was 
twelve  years  old.  But  Daniel  was  guardian  for  not  more  than  two 
years,  as  then  we  find  "Jonathon  Maultbie,  Minor,  choose  Mr.  Ed- 
ward Barker  of  Branford  to  be  his  guardian."  (New  Haven  Pro- 
bate Rec,  p.  66,  Vol.  I.  ?) 

1718-19,  Jan.  License  was  granted  to  Jonathon  Maltbie  of 
Branford  to  practice  the  art  and  mystery  of  a  tanner"  (County 
Court  Rec.  of  New  Haven,  Vol.  III.,  p.  loi). 

1719.  Jonathon  Maltbie  married,  Sept.  25,  1719,  Mrs.  Sarah 
Potter  at  Stamford,  Conn.  They  were  married  by  the  Rev.  John 
Davenport. 

17 19,  Oct.  26.  Jonathon  and  Samuel  Maltbie  divide  the  land 
given  them  by  their  father  (Branf.  Rec,  Vol.  IV.,  p.  399). 

1719,  Oct.  26.  Deed.  "Samuel  and  Jonathon  Maltbie  of 
Branford  being  fully  persuaded  it  was  ye  mind  and  will  of  our 
Honrd  Father,  Wm.  Maltbie,  that  our  brother  Daniel  Maltbie 
should  have  all  his  right  and  interest  in  Beacon  Swamp,  although 
not  specified  in  ye  last  will  of  our  Honrd  Father,  have  therefore 
given,  etc,  all  our  right  in  ye  above  swamp — 8  acres"  (\"ol.  IV., 
p.  197,  Branford  Records). 

This  is  an  act  of  generosity  and  "square-dealing"  that  may  well  cause 
a  feeling  of  just  pride  and   respect  in  all  descendants. 


302  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— AIALTBIE 

Jonathon  Alaltby  evidently  resided  at  Branford  in  the  family 
homestead  which  became  his  by  his  father's  will,  1710,  until  about 
1720,  when  he  evidently  removed  to  Stamford,  Conn.,  for  the  next 
record  we  find  is : 

1722,  Dec.  7.  "Deed.  Jonathon  Maltbie  of  Stamford,  gentle- 
man, gives  land  to  Edward  Barker  in  Branford"  (Branf.  Rec,  Vol. 
IV.,  p.  446). 

1722,  April  16.  "Jonathon  Maltbie  of  Stamford,  cordwainer. 
sells  Samuel  Maltbie  of  Branford,  2  acres  and  3  rods  of  land  in 
Branford.  for  iio"  (Branf.  Rec,  Vol.  IV..  p.  426). 

XoTE. — Here  we  lind  him  called  "cordwainer,"  while  in  a  previous   rec- 
ord he  is  licensed  to  be  a  tanner."    Evidently  he  was  proficient  at  both  "arts.'' 

1722,  Dec.  7.  "Deed.  Jonathon  Maltbie  of  Stamford,  cord- 
wainer, for  £130  gives  his  brother.  Daniel  Maltbie,  of  Branford,  10 
acres  of  land,  being  Jonathon's  share  of  the  home  lot,  given  him 
by  his  father,  William"  (Branf.  Rec,  Vol.  IV..  p.  445). 

1723,  March  25.  "Jonathon  ]\Ialtbie  of  Stamford,  gentleman, 
for  £38 — 10  gives  to  his  brother,  Samuel  Maltbie,  of  Branford,  his 
interest  in  Cow  pasture,  i6>4  acres"  (Branf.  Rec,  Vol.  IV.,  p.  478). 

The  History  of  Stamford  says  the  first  mention  of  Jonathon 
Maltbie  is  made  among  those  who  came  in  between  1643  &"cl  the 
Revolution. 

Jonathon  Maltbie  represented  the  town  of  Stamford  in  the 
Legislature  from  1735  to  1756  inclusive.  He  was  also  Captain  of 
Company  Two  and  on  his  resignation  Ebenezer  Weed  was  chosen 
Captain,  about  the  year  1755.  Begining  in  1728  he  servered  as 
townsman,  or  selectman  for  twenty  years  and  at  this  time  was  called 
Major  ]\Ialtbie. 

N.  B. — The  spelling  is  as  that  in  the  item  sent  me.     Taken   from   Hun- 
tington's  Hist,  of  Stamford. 

Rev.  E.  B.  Huntington  also  says  that  Jonathon  Maltby  was 
Captain  of  Company  2  in  the  French  and  Indian  war. 

In  the  records  of  the  First  Church,  begun  Jan.  i,  1747,  is  the 
name  of  "Jonathon  Maltbie,  Esqre." 

Quoting  again  from  Huntington  :  ".A.mong  the  town  notables 
of  that  day,  1746,  were  Col.  Jonathon  Hoyt.  Captain  Jonathon  Malt- 
bie and  Mr.  Abraham  Davenport." 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  303 

The  Children  of  Jonathon  and  Mrs.  Sarah  (Potter)  jNIaltbie 

1.  Jonathon,  b.  June  29,   1720. 

2.  Abigail,  b.  Aug.  26,   1725,  at  Stamford. 

3.  David,  b.  Feb.  7,  1727. 

4.  Sarah,  b.  July  5,  173 1,  at  Stamford. 

5.  Mary,  b.  March  14,  1733,  at  Stamford. 

6.  Hannah,  b.  Oct.  30,  1741,  at  Stamford. 

7.  David,  b.  May  14,  1748.  (This  should  probably  be  James). 

Note. — The  births  that  have  "at  Stamford"  after  them  were  copied  from 
the  Stamford  records  by  Rev.  R.  B.  Thurston,  in  a  letter  dated  "Stamford, 
Jan.  17,  1866"  and  written  to  Mrs.  John  P.  Cushman.  There  is  evidently  a 
mistake  in  the  name  of  the  last  child  given,  as  he  could  not  have  been  born 
in  1748,  and  married  in  1749.  There  is  confusion  in  the  records  somewhere. 
One  authority  gives  "Davide  Maltbie  married  Sarah  Holly,  Sept.  28,  1749," 
while  another  claims  their  son  Jonathon  was  born  Sept.  28,  1749.  Personally 
I  believe  that  the  name  of  the  last  born  child  of  Jonathon  (2)  Maltby  was 
James,  and  for  proof  would  give  the  will  of  his  mother.  For  records  of 
the  descendants  of  Jonathon  Maltby   (2)   see  Maltby  Genealogy. 

The  Compiler  is  indebted  to  Mrs.  Aaron  T.  Bailey  and  Miss  Emily  A. 
Lynes,  descendants  of  Jonathon  (2)  for  much  of  the  data  contained  in  this 
sketch.  Mrs.  Bailey  and  Miss  Lynes  endeavored  to  locate  the  grave  of  Capt. 
Jonathon   Maltby  and  his  old  homestead,  but  unsuccessfully. 

For  the  following  wills  of  Jonathon  and  Mrs.  Sarah  Potter 
Maltby  we  are  indebted  to  Aliss  Ethel  Lord  Scofield  of  New  Haven 
and  regret  that  time  prohibited  the  copying  of  his  inventory. 

The  Will  of  Captain  Jonathon  (2)  Maltbie  of  Stamford

give  any  of  my  Estate  to  any  of  my  Children  or  to  the  Children

wife,  Sarah  Maltbie  Sole  Executrix  of  this  my  Last  Will  &  Testa- 
ment hereby  Revoking  and  Disanulling  all  and  every  other  and

The  will  of  Sarah  Maltbie.  widow  of  Jonathon  (2)  Maltbie. 
Esq.   (  Stamford  Probate  Records.  Vol.  III.,  p.  408)  : 

In  the  name  of  God  Amen. 

I.  Sarah  Maltbie  of  Stamford  in  Fairfield  County  &  Connecti- 
cut Colony  in  New  England  being  of  Sound  mind  &  memory  for 
which  God  Almighty  be  Thanked  yet  being  advanced  in  years  & 
Labouring  Under  bodily  Sickness  and  knowing  that  it  is  appointed 
for  all  J\Ien  once  to  die  and  not  knowing  how  soon  my  Change 
may  come  do  now  make  my  Last  Will  &  Testament  as  followeth, 
viz. : 

First  of  all  I  Give  my  soul  to  God  who  gave  it  me,  hoping 
in  his  mercy  thro'  the  merits  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  for  the  pardon 
of  all  my  sins  &  my  body  to  the  Earth  to  be  buried  in  a  decent 
Christian  Manner  according  to  the  Discretion  of  my  Executor  here- 
after named  having  hope  in  the  Resurrection  of  the  Just  &  touching 
such  worldly  Estate  as  it  hath  pleased  the  Divine  Bounty  to  Bless 
me  with  while  in  this  life  my  Will  is  that  first  my  Just  Debts  & 
funeral  charges  shall  be  paid,  the  Remainder  I  Give  Devise  &  Be- 
queath in  the  following  manner  &  form,  viz. : 

Imprimis.  My  wearing  apparel  I  Give  &  Bequeath  unto  my 
three  Daughters,  viz. :  Abigail  Squire,  Mary  Waterbery  &  Hannah* 
Buckley  to  be  equally  Divided  among  them  &  to  their  own  abso- 
lutely &  forever. 

Item.  The  Remainder  &  Residue  of  my  Estate  I  Give  Devise 
&  Bequeath  unto  my  two  loving  Daughters,  viz. :  Abigail  Squire  & 
Mary  Waterbury  to  be  equally  Divided  between  them  and  to  be 
unto  them  the  sd  Abigail  &  Mary  and  to  their  Heirs  &  Assigns 
forever. 

Further.  The  Reason  why  I  do  not  give  my  Daughter  Hannah 
an  equal  share  with  her  Sisters  is  not  for  want  of  an  equal  afifection 
to  her  but  because  my  Dec'd  Son  James  hath  given  her  such  a 
Legacy  that  I  have  not  enough  to  make  her  Sister's  equal  with  her 
&  the  Reason  why  I  do  not  give  some  part  of  my  Estate  to  the 
children  of  my  Dear  Son  David  Maltbie  is  not  for  want  of  a  Suit- 
able afifection  for  them  but  because  my  Dec'd  Husband  gave  to  their 
Dec'd  Father  more  than  an  equal  share  of  his  Estate. 

Lastly  I  do  nominate,  constitute  &  appoint  my  Loving  and 
Trusting  Son-in-law  Major  David  Waterbury  Sole  Executor  of  this 
mv  Last  Will  &  Testament  &  I  hereby  give  him  full  power  &  author- 
ity to  sell  of  my  Real  Estate  what  shall  be  needful  to  pay  my  Debts 
&  the  Debts  of  my  Dec'd  Husband  hereby  Revoking  &  Disanulling 
all  and  every  other  former  Will   &  Testament  by  me  made  and

Note. — Mrs.  Alaltbie  was  aged  and  feeble  when  she  made  her  will,  hence 
the  "mark" ;  this  does  not  in  any  way  indicate  that  she  was  unable  to  write, 
as  witness  the  will  of  Samuel  (2)  Maltbie,  who  signed  his  will  with  a 
"mark"  although  he  wrote  an  unusually  fine  hand. 


*  MALTBIE-BULKLEY 

Still  standing  in  Fairfield,  Connecticut,  is  the  Bulkley  House,  now 
137  years  old.  This  house,  which  antedates  the  Revolutionary  War, 
was  the  home  of  Peter  Ebenezer  Bulkley  and  his  wife,  Hannah  (3) 
Maltbie.  The  Brids;eport  Daily  Standard,  Alarch  11,  1916,  publishes 
a  photograph  of  this  old  Colonial  home  and  also  an  interesting 
article  on  the  history  of  the  Bulkleys,  by  Helen  Harrison,  from 
v/hich  we  quote  the  most  important  items. 

"The  Bulkle}'  family  is  sufficiently  interesting  to  sketch  its 
early  history.  Thomas  Bulkley  was  the  second  son  of  Rev.  Peter 
Bulkley,  who  was  the  tenth  in  line  from  Lord  Robert  Bulkeley,  of 
"Bulkeley"  manor,  or  as  it  was  spelled  in  ancient  days,  "Buclough." 
He  lived  at  the  manor  during  the  reign  of  King  John,  who  died  in 
1216. 

Peter  Bulkley  was  born  at  Woodhill,  Bedfordshire,  England, 
in  1583.  He  succeeded  his  father,  the  Rev.  Edward  Bulkley,  D.D., 
in  the  ministry  of  his  native  town.  .  .  .  He  emigrated  to  New 
England  about  1635,  in  the  "Susan  and  Ellen." 

Peter  Ebenezer  Bulkley  lived  in  the  house  at  the  time  the  Brit- 
ish sailed  up  the  Sound  to  make  an  attack  on  Fairfield..  (The  view 
of  the  house  given  in  Miss  Harrison's  article,  presents  the  side 
open  to  the  fire  of  the  British  guns.) 

It  is  said  that  one  of  the  old  shingles  on  the  house  at  that  time 
is  preserved  as  a  relic  by  a  Bridgeport  family  and  shows  the  bullet 
hole. 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  307 

As  the  British  fleet  was  sighted,  the  men  of  the  town,  among 
them  the  head  of  the  Bulkley  house,  hastened  to  the  fort  on  Grovers 
Hill  witht  Lieutenant  Jarvis."  Mr.  Bulkley's  wife,  Hannah,  a  daugh- 
ter of  Major  Jonathon  (2)  Maltbie,  hurried  the  eldest  son, 
Eben(ezer).  12  years  of  age,  out  to  the  yard  for  the  oxen,  hitched 
out  front.  The  cart  was  hastily  loaded  with  a  few  of  the  most 
necessary  household  effects  and  the  five  children  were  bundled  on 
top.  the  house  abndoned  and  the  family  set  out  for  a  place  of  safety 
back  in  the  country."  (These  children  were  Ebenezer,  aged  12; 
Hannah,  10;  Alaltbie,  8;  Sarah.  5,  and  Mary,  3.  This  hurried  flight 
in  1778  may  account  for  the  fact  that  the  records  show  that  the 
sixth  child,  John,  born  Oct.  28,  1778,  died  shortly  after.  In  178 1 
Abigail  was  born  and  the  last  child,  George,  was  born  in  1784.) 
"They  had  trundled  along  for  five  miles,  up  towards  Plattsville, 
before  a  place  of  refuge  was  found,  with  some  hospitable  farmers 
by  the  name  of  Wilson. 

The  possible  arrival  of  the  British  at  the  town  of  Fairfield  had 
been  anticipated  and  to  guard  against  an  unprepared  attack,  the 
family  had  taken  the  precaution  to  hide  its  more  valuable  possessions. 
Some  of  the  lovely  old  blue  china,  brought  by  the  trading  vessels 
from  the  famous  potteries  of  China  and  other  far  eastern  ports, 
was  hidden  in  a  hole  in  the  garden.  Some  delicate  crystal  bearing 
an  ornamental  tracing  in  delicate  lines,  was  also  carefully  buried. 
The  simple  pewter  plates  and  platters,  beautiful  in  shape,  were 
among  the  treasures  consigned  to  the  hiding  place  in  the  ground 
until  the  enemy  should  have  departed.  Some  of  these  interesting 
relics  of  the  Bulkley  family,  which  were  afterwards  unearthed  and 
given  their  place  of  honor  again  in  the  corner  cupboard,  are  now 
in  the  possession  of  Mrs.  F.  W.  Bolande,  a  daughter  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
John  H.  Beach  and  also  a  great-great-granddaughter  of  Maltbie 
Bulkley,  who  was  born  in  1770,  and  was  one  of  the  children  to 
make  his  escape  on  the  family  oxcart."  (Mr.  F.  C.  Morehouse,  a 
member  of  the  Maltby  Association,  owns  an  old  powder  horn  which 
belonged  to  this  Maltbie  Bulkley.)  "Maltbie  Bulkley's  daughter, 
Ruth,  born  in  1800,  made  one  of  the  elaborate  bed  spreads,  with  a 
design  in  French  knots,  all  the  work  of  the  hand  looms  and  of  her 
nimble  fingers.    This,  too,  is  a  treasured  possession  of  Mrs.  Bolande. 

t  This  Lieut.  Jarvis  we  believe  to  be  Lieut.  Isaac  Jarvis,  born  Jan.  20 
1756.  He  married  Abigail  Squire,  who  was  a  daughter  of  Samuel  and 
Abigail   (3)    (Maltbie)   Squire.     She  was  a  daughter  of  Jonathon   (2)   Maltbie. 


308  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

After  the  family  had  safely  got  away,  the  British  made  a 
landing  in  spite  of  the  fire  from  the  fort,  and  of  the  bold  front 
maintained  by  the  little  group  of  defenders.  As  they  made  their 
march  up  Beach  lane,  one  of  the  first  houses  to  be  encountered  was 
the  Bulkley's.  from  which  the  family  had  so  recently  fled.  They 
put  the  torch  to  it  and  passed  on  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  Tryon 
had  promised  that  this  and  the  other  houses  near  it  should  be  saved 
because  of  the  aid  given  him  by  the  brother  of  Mrs.  Jonathon 
Bulkley,  who  lived  opposite.  A  scout  followed  in  the  trail  of  the 
invaders  to  put  out  the  fires,  if  possible. 

The  little  family,  who  had  fled,  had  left  the  washtubs  filled  with 
water  in  their  haste.  Before  the  flames  had  gained  much  headway 
with  the  hard  and  large  timbers  with  which  the  house  was  con- 
structed, the  scout  dashed  the  water  on  the  flames  and  quickly  had 
them  extinguished.     *     "^^     * 

The  motto  of  the  Bulkley  family,  translated,  means,  "Xeither 
rashly  nor  timidly,"  and  the  records  of  the  little  red  salt-box  house 
during  the  troublesome  times  of  the  Revolution  showed  that  the 
motto  was  a  fitting  one. 

We  append  a  short  note  concerning  the  children  of  Jonathon 
(2)  Alaltbie. 

Jonathon  (3)  Maltbie  mar.  Abigail  Holmes  of  Greenwich, 
Conn.,  and  had  an  only  child,  Jonathon  (4).  b.  Dec.  7,  1744.  He 
became  Captain  ]\Ialtbie.     See  his  biography. 

Abigail  (3)  Alaltbie  mar.  Sanuiel  Squire  of  Fairfield.  Conn  , 
and  had  children :  Samuel.  Sarah,  John.  David,  Abigail,  George  and 
William. 

David  (3)  Maltbie,  mar.  Sarah  Holly.  They  had  children: 
Sarah,  Hannah  (who  died  young),  David  (also  died  young),  Abi- 
gail, David  and  Hannah.  From  the  above  Sarah  (4)  Maltbie,  who 
married  Stephen  Newman,  descend  Mr.  Henry  Brown  Dayton,  Mrs. 
Samuel  Bradlee  Doggett,  and  Mrs.  William  Davis  Patterson,  whose 
names  will  be  found  on  the  membership  list. 

Mary  (3)  Maltbie  mar.  Major  David  Waterbury.  of  Stamford, 
Conn. 

Hannah  (3)   Maltbie  mar.  Ebenezer  Bulkley.

THE  SPARTAN  ^lOTHER 

By  Maude  Townshend  Maltby 

(\\'ritten  for  ]\Ialtby  Family  First  Reunion  at  Branford) 

"A  Spartan  mother !"  do  they  say 
Who  sees  New  England's  coasts  of  gray? 
"A  Spartan  mother !"  they  exclaim. 
And  hasten  back  to  whence  they  came. 

So  to  the  child  of  warmer  birth 
]ylay  seem  this  rugged  bit  of  earth ; 
Unsmiling,   stern,   forbidding, — yea, 
Repellant,  with  its  skies  of  gray. 

But  We,  who  know  and  love  to  trace 
Each  line  upon  our  Mother's  face. 
We  know,  as  loving  children  should, 
Her  every  phase  and  trait  and  mood. 

We  know  her  iron-bound  coasts  that  ring 
To  Ocean's  age-old   buiTeting; 
Unconquerable,  squared  to  "face  the  front," 
And  take — of  what  may  come — the  brunt. 

We  know  her  gentle  inland  hills ; 
The  merry  topaz  brook  which  fills 
Our  leafy  cup  as  we  lie  and  dream 
Long  hours  away  beside  its  stream. 

We  know  her  deep  pine  woods  whose  trees 
]\Iurmur  and  breathe  in  the  keen  salt  breeze 
While  out  from  the  pine  needles'  sheltering, 
The  scent  of  the  Mayflower  tells  of  spring. 

We  know  the  harvest  fields,  and  the  moon 
Which  tells  of  a  winter  coming  soon. 
We  know  the  ice  fringed  marsh  and  shore — 
These  things  we  know,  and  far,   far  more. 


310  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

We  know  the  children  our  Alother  has  reared — 
World-wide  respected,  and  honored  and   feared. 
Where'er  has  been  danger,  or  work  to  be  done. 
There  has  been,  and  shall  be,  a  New  England  son. 

Saints,  soldiers  and  statesmen,  where'er  there  is  need, 
Some  child  of  New  England  stands  ready  to  lead, 
For  the  right ;  for  the  faith,  for  the  weak  against  strong. 
Glad  to  die,  if  in  dying  they  vanquish  some  wrong. 

"A  Spartan  mother!"  Yes,  and  we 
Accept  the  title  reverently. 
Rejoicing   in    her   qualities 
Wholesome  and  keen  as  an  ocean  breeze. 

And  so  from  North  and  South  and  West 
Home  we  come  at  last  to  rest. 
To  the  land  we  love  beyond  all  other 
To  our  New  England — Spartan  mother ! 


BIOGRAPHIES 
REV.  JONATHON  MALTBY  (4) 

Rev.  Jonathon  Maltby  was  a  great-grandson  of  the  emigrant 
ancestor,  William  Maltby,  Esq.,  of  Branford,  and  to  him  we  owe 
much  of  the  genealogical  data  contained  in  the  present  Maltby 
Genealogy,  particularly  of  the  early  generations. 

Through  the  kindness  of  Mrs.  Samuel  E.  Shipp,  a  descendant 
of  his,  we  are  able  to  reproduce  here  a  copy  of  an  oil  painting  made 
some  years  ago  by  Mrs.  Shipp  of  the  homestead  of  her  great-grand- 
father. The  old  homestead  was  called  "Maltby  Place"  and  was 
delightfully  situated  on  the  bank  of  the  river,  alas,  for  posterity, 
it  was  too  near  the  river !  For  when  the  two  elderly  maiden  ladies, 
daughters  of  Rev.  Jonathon  (4),  died,  someone,  we  know  not  who, 
"got  rid  of  the  stuff"  by  throwing  the  contents  of  the  attic  into  the 
river.  And  in  this  attic  were  all  sorts  and  countless  numbers  of  old 
things,  now  so  prized  by  lovers  of  the  antique,  and  chests  of  old 
letters  and  manuscripts  there  were  without  end. 

The  compiler  is  fortunate  in  the  possession  of  two  old  plates 
which  belong  to  Rev.  Jonathon  Maltby  and  possibly  to  his  father.

REV.  JONATHON  MALTBY  HOMESTEAD 


Stevens  in  Fair  Haven,  Conn.,  the  compiler  had  the  pleasure  of 
seeing  the  charmingly  simple  but  elegant  wedding  dress  of  this  old- 
time  bride.  Made  in  the  Empire  style  with  low  neck  and  short 
sleeves,  of  a  heavy  white  silk  with  a  fine  blue  stripe  and  an  indis- 
tinct pale  yellow  figure  in  it.  An  old  manuscript  written  by  Rev. 
Jonathon  dealing  with  the  Maltby  Genealogy  and  tied  with  bits 
of  silk  like  this  wedding  gown,  was  given  me  by  Mrs.  Stevens  and 
is  a  highly  valued  treasure. 


312  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

The  following  is  a  copy  of  the  letter : 

New  Haven,  June  5th,  1787. 
Aly  dearest  friend : — 

I  depend  upon  being  at  Northford  Sabbath  after  next  extraor- 
dinaries  excepted.  On  the  evening  of  that  day  I  expect  to  hear  of 
the  Bride  and  Bridegroom.  It  will  be  the  most  joyful !  The  most 
interesting  hour  of  my  life ! 

I  expect  on  that  portentious  moment  to  surrender  myself  at 
discretion — a  voluntary  captive  to  sweet  smiling  Hymen,  a  Devotee 
to  Beauty  and  to  Virtue — to  be,  not  my  own,  but  another's :  to  give 
my  hand  and  my  heart,  and  to  receive  in  return  the  fair  hand  and 
the  affectionate  heart  of  my  Other  Self. 

I  will  be  thine — entirely  thine — and  thou  shalt  be  mine,  entirely 
mine,  with  all  thy  engaging  and  unfading  charms.  Happy !  Happy 
Union  !  which  harmonizes  Two  in  One ! ! 

'Tis  Hymen  lights  the  torch  of  love, 
And  beams  benignant  as  the  sun ; 
The  daw,  the  rook,  and  gentle  dove 
Are  ne'er  content  till  two  are  one. 

Innocence  and  \'irtue  are  inseparably  allied  ;  emblematical  of 
their  purity  is  the  pure  white  of  this  half  sheet,  which  excites  the 
following  allusion : 

Thou  art  the  dear  Maiden  innocently  sweet. 
Who  art  fair  white  paper,  an  unsullied  sheet, 
I  am  the  happy  man,  whom  Heaven  ordains 
To  write  fair  my  name  and  take  thee  for  my  pains 
Has  Revd.  sufficient  health  to  tie  the  lovely  bands?     Or  will 
it  be  expedient  to  invite  my  Revd.  friend,  Mr.  Holmes,  to  ride  out 
with  me,  and  perform  the  gentle  office? 

\\'ith  the  finest  sensibilities  and  the  purest  emotions,  I  am

In  booklet  number  one,  issued  by  the  Alaltby  association  we 
published  an  article  written  by  Rev.  Jonathon  Maltby  and  whicli 
proves  he  was  "under  fire"  in  the  Revolutionary  War,  which  seems 
of  sufficient  importance  to  warrant  reprinting  here. 

Maltby   Place.  April  21,   1848. 
Birthday  of  my  90th  year. 

At  war  with  sin,  heart  from  the  world  full-riven,  aged  and 
wearv,  the  soul  longs  for  heaven. 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  313 

With  one  or  two  exceptions  I  have  out-Uved  all  my  contem- 
poraries, relatives  and  friends.  Joseph  Darling,  Esqr.,  of  the  class 
of  1777  and  classmate,  Hon.  Eliziir  Goodrich,  D.D.L.,  are  now  liv- 
ing in  this  city.  ( NoTi:  i ) .  I  am  oldest  of  the  three.  The  former 
Treasurer  of  dear  Yale,  the  venerable  Deacon  Beers,  is  several 
years  my  senior. 

]\Iore  than  three  score  years  ago,  three  brothers,  in  good  health, 
were  daily  looking  and  expecting  to  see  me  sink  into  the  grave.  I 
was  struggling  with  a  violent  cough  and  disordered  lungs.  But, 
I  remain  a  monument  of  mercy.  "A  Wonder  to  Many !  A  Won- 
der To  ^lyself !" 

In  my  90th  year,  63rd  year  of  wedded  life.  Read  and  write 
more  than  in  any  former  time  without  aid  of  glasses.  I  am  the  only 
survivor  of  my  father's  numerous  family.  Mrs.  M.  is  the  only 
one  living  of  her  father's  (XoTE  II.)  family,  and  is  closing  her 
85th  year. 

My  connection  with  college  was  in  1775.  In  the  days  that 
"tried  men's  souls,"  in  time  of  the  Revolution.  A  war  spirit  pre- 
vailed in  the  old  13 — Patriotism  warmed  the  hearts  of  the  free  born 
sons  of  Yale.  Fired  with  the  news  of  the  death  of  their  country- 
men at  Lexington,  100  of  her  sons,  marshaled  for  fight,  rush  to 
Boston  and  I  see  an  old  gentleman  point  his  cane  and  hear  him 
say:  "What  do  you  think  Gage  (Gen.  Gage)  will  say  when  he 
knows  that  a  hundred  men  from  Yale  College  are  come  to  fight 
him?" 

The  upper  classes,  in  the  interval  of  studies,  are  on  the  lower 
green  (  Xote;  III.)  with  their  music,  practicing,  marching,  maneu- 
vering. .  .  .  Soon  after  my  acquaintance  with  alma  mater.  Col. 
Ira  Allen  from  \^ermont.  brought  the  good  news  of  the  capture 
of  the  fort  of  the  St.  John's — a  thrill  of  joy  pervades  the  city  and 
the  college.  Cannon  are  ordered  out,  13  thunders,  one  for  each 
state,  tell  the  heartfelt  joy.  At  the  last  fire,  the  Col.,  soldier-like, 
leaped  on  the  cannon,  swung  his  hat  and  cried  aloud,  "God  save 
the  Continental  Congress!  Three  Cheers!"  Oh,  they  were  given 
to  the  life ! 

The  war  occupied  too  much  of  the  student  mind  and  such  was 
the  exposed  state  of  college,  while  at  N.  Haven,  that  it  was  dis- 
persed into  several  towns  in  interior  of  the  state  for  two  or  three 
years,  to  the  great  disadvantage  of  the  students.  Classes  (1776, 
1777,  '78,  '79)  had  no  public  commencement. 

In  the  summer  time  of  '78,  College  returned.  President  Stiles 
was  inducted  into  office  and  took  charge  of  the  seminary.      Tulv,

1779,  Tryan  and  Traitor  Arnold  with  three  or  four  thousand 
British  troops  enter  N.  H.  Night  before  at  9  o'clock  an  alarm  was 
fired,  again  at  i,  which  put  the  town  in  the  utmost  consternation. 
That  night  and  next  day  exhibiting  such  excruciating  distress 
among  the  women  and  children  as  I  hope  and  pray  I  may  never 
again  witness. 

The  students  request  the  Selectmen  of  the  town  to  furnish 
them  with  arms  to  meet  the  enemy — but  are  not  able.  Three  of  my 
class  obtain  arms  and  go  out  with  Capt.  Hillhouse  and  the  Guards. 
David  Austin  and  Elizur  Goodrich  are  wounded,  Austin  brings  in 
a  prisoner  (After  Revd.  D.  Austin).  Hon.  Elizur  Goodrich  was 
a  captive  and  Dr.  Nesbitt  pronounces  his  wound  mortal.  After 
being  one  night  in  town  they  cross  next  morning  to  East  Haven. 
While  in  town  they  burn  buildings,  destroy  house  furniture,  mer- 
chants' goods  and  groceries,  and  do  all  the  damage  that  they  could 
well  do.  The  distress  they  made  I  will  not  attempt  to  describe. 
On  Tuesday,  I  was  one  of  a  reconnoitering  party  on  East  Haven 
Heights  where  balls  were  wdiistling  constantly,  but  no  "music  for 
me."  A  cannon  ball  took  off  all  upper  part  of  a  Mr.  Pardee's  head 
and  several  were  wounded.  We  have  the  pleasure  to  witness  this 
i6th  of  Aug.,  that  the  wound  of  the  Hon'l  Elizur  Goodrich  was  not 
mortal — with  heartfelt  joy  we  behold  him  one  of  the  happy 
alumni.   (Here  follows  a  short  genealogical  sketch.)

GENERAL  ISAAC  MALTBY 

General  Isaac  Maltby  was  born  Nov.  10,  1767  at  North- 
lord,  Conn.  He  was  graduated  at  Yale  College  in  1786. 
He  was  a  son  of  Benjamin  and  Elizabeth  Fowler  ]\raltby, 
his  wife,  and  a  grandson  of  Daniel  (2).  He  was  a  student 
of  divinity  with  Dr.  Smalley  of  New  Britain.  Conn.,  and 
was  admitted  to  the  church  there  July  12,  1789.  and  licensed  to 
preach  the  same  year  by  New  Haven,  East.  Tie  married.  Nov.  10, 
1790,  at  Hatfield,  Mass.,  Lucinda  Murray,  the  only  child  of  Seth 
Murray,  who  was  a  Brigadier-General  in  the  Hampshire  Militia  in

the  time  of  the  Revohitionary  War,  and  he  was  persuaded  by  his 
father-in-law  to  settle  in  Hatfield.  General  Isaac  and  his  wife  re- 
sided most  of  their  lives  in  her  paternal  mansion  and  their  twelve 
children  were  all  born  in  the  same  house  where  their  mother  was 
born.  The  house  still  stands  on  the  [Main  Street  at  the  turn  of  the 
Northampton  road.  (See  photograph.)  Gen.  Isaac  Maltby  served 
throughout  the  War  of  1812  and  was  a  distinguished  soldier  and 
scholar.  His  commissions  are  in  the  possession  of  his  granddaugh- 
ter. Airs.  Frederick  E.  Foster. 

General  Isaac  Alaltby  served  as  representative   from  Hatfield 
in  the  ^Massachusetts  Legislature  in   1809-10.     He  was  the  author 


GEX.   SETH   .MURRAY   HOMESTEAD   AT   NORTHFIELD,   MASS. 
(Here  Ger,.  Isaac  ^Nlaltbv  Married  and  Resided) 


of  three  books  on  military  science,  viz. :  "Elements  of  War,"  "Mili- 
tary Tactics"  and  "Court  Martial." 

In  1803  he  was  appointed  major  in  the  militia.  He  took  an 
active  part  in  proceedings  that  were  instituted  vs.  Gen'l  Benj. 
Lincoln  when  he  was  collector  of  the  port  of  Boston.  In  181 2  he 
was  chosen  Presidential  Elector  at  a  period  in  American  History 
when  the  Electoral  College  was  composed  of  notable  men  and  when 
it  was  intended  to  select  deliberately  the  President  of  the  L'nited 
States.     In  1813  he  was  made  Brigadier-General  of  Mass.  Militia

with  headquarters  in  Boston,  his  son,  Seth  Alurray  Alaltby,  being 
paymaster  in  the  same  brigade  with  the  rank  of  major.  In  1816 
he  was  again  elected  to  the  legislature  and  in  18 18  he  removed  to 
Waterloo,  Seneca  County,  Xew  York,  where  he  died  the  following 
year  (1819). 

The  New  Eng.  Hist,  and  Gen.  Reg.  (1865),  Vol.  XIX.,  p.  338, 
has  an  article  headed:  "Reminiscences  Connected  with  the  War  of 
1812."  It  commences  as  follows:  "In  the  summer  of  1814  many 
portions  of  the  militia  of  ]\Iassachusetts  were  called  into  actual 
service  for  the  defence  of  the  seaboard,  especially  in  and  near  Bos- 
ton. .  .  .  Another  brigade  of  the  volunteer  militia,  organized  and 
placed  under  the  command  of  Brigadier-General  Isaac  Maltby.  of 
Hatfield.  .  .  -"(p.  339)-  "The  regiment  went  into  camp  at  Cam- 
bridge for  a  few  days,  but  was  soon  removed  to  a  place  called  Com- 
mercial Point,  Dorchester,  where  were  better  accommodations. 

"At  Commercial  Point,  the  regiment  was  drilled  daily  in  the 
manual  exercise,  marching,  wdieeling,  etc.  It  was  reviewed  twice  at 
a  place  called  Cedar  Point,  and  on  Boston  Common  by  Governor 
Strong,  Adjutant  General  Brooks,  Generals  Cobb,  Alattoon,  Whiton, 
]\Ialtby,  Blair  and  others.  General  Cobb  remarking,  'That  regiment 
knows  enough  and  ought  to  go  home  and  let  the  ignorant  come  and 
learn.'  "  A  remark  which  must  have  been  satisfying,  as  a  well 
earned  tribute,  to  Gen.  Isaac  Maltby. 

His  brother.  Rev.  Jonathon  ]\Ialtby,  speaks  of  him  "as  an 
eminent  teacher  of  music." 

XoTE- — It  was  the  good  fortune  of  the  compiler  to  see  a  passport  through 
the  lines  signed  b_v  Gen.  Isaac  Maltby,  a  document  among  many  Maltby  papers 
which  have  become  the  property  of  a  dealer  in  antiques. 

A  letter  from  Rev.  Jonathon  Maltby  to  his  brother.  General 
Isaac  Maltby,  of  Hatfield,  Mass.,  dated  "X^ew  Haven.  June  20, 
1812,"  is  of  sufficient  interest  to  descendants  to  publish  in  abstract 
form : 

"Dear  Brother — 

"You  will  remember  that  on  the  12th  of  July,  1796,  I  an- 
nounced to  you  the  afifecting  death  of  our  much  bond  Father — you 
are  now  daily  expecting  to  hear  of  the  death  of  his  aged  consort, 
our  dear  mother.  But,  Sir,  the  ways  of  unerring  God  are  not  the 
ways  of  erring  man  .  .  .  it  is  not  the  hoary  headed  mother,  l)ut 
her  youngest  child,  our  dear  Brother  Stephen !

"On  Alonday  evening.  226.  Inst.,  at  12  o'clock  the  lamp  of 
life  was  extinguished — after  a  week's  illness.  ...  A  mother,  a

Honl.  George  Thatcher,  of  Supreme  Court, 

to 
J.  Hill,  Esq. 

Biddeford,  nth  Feb'y  1810. 
My  Dear  Sir, 

I  have  just  read  Genl  Maltby 's  Report  Published  in  the  Pal- 
ladium on  our  Foreign  Relations  &  the  Conduct  of  our  National 
Administration  in  relation  to  the  famous  pretended  insult.  The 
Report  I  fully  approve :  &  to  reject  it  or  in  anything  to  weaken 
It  would  be  treason  against  good  sense  &  sound  policy,  &  it  would 
be  more  criminal  than  to  have  pardoned  Luke  Day  in  the  time  of 
Shyes  insurrection.  Therefore  I  tell  you  now,  as  I  told  you  at 
that  time  "do  anything  but  pardon  Luke  Day."  If  you  reject  those 
Resolutions,  you  must  not  return  to  Biddeford. 

Who  is  this  Genl  Maltby?  His  Report  argues  good.  If  I 
am  not  mistaken  he  made  a  very  energetic  Report  &  Speech  on 
some  great  national  question  last  Winter.*  I  like  him.  If  you 
have  any  acquaintance  with  him  make  my  respects  to  him  &  tell 
him  he  is  right  in  his  notions.  Encourage  his  heart  &  strengthen 
his  hands  to  fight  the  Lord's  battles.  We  have  no  news  here.  Every- 
body that  possesses  common  sense  here  gives  over  all  expectations 
of  finding  Robert  Smith's  insult.  They  say  it  is  all  a  matter  of 
juggling  to  impose  a  little  while  on  the  credulity  of  Republicans, 
but  the  spell  is  wearing  ofif.  Keep  up  a  good  tone  in  your  pro- 
ceedings. There  is  nothing  gained  by  giving  way  to  the  Devil. 
Yield  an  inch  and  he  will  take  an  ell. 

George  Thatcher. 

To  Jonathan  Hill.  Esq.

318  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

An  account  of  General  Isaac  Maltby  would  be  incomplete  were 
some  mention  not  made  of  a  few  of  his  descendants  who  are,  or 
should  be,  well  known  to  the  public  today. 

The  fourth  child  of  General  Isaac  ]\Ialtby  was  Maria  Maltby, 
who  married  Thomas  Cutting  Love  of  New  York.  Their  oldest 
daughter,  ^Madame  Gary  (Julia  Love)  has  recently  died  at  her  home 
in  Buffalo,  New  York.  Aladame  Gary  was  a  remarkable  woman 
of  rare  individuality  and  charm.  The  following  extracts  concerning 
her  life  are  taken  from  the  Buffalo  Gourier  and  the  Buffalo  News, 
of  October  9th  and  loth,  1915:  "In  the  passing  of  Alme.  Gary 
(Julia  Love),  Buffalo  loses  a  beautiful  woman — beautiful  in  the 
highest  sense  of  the  term — one  with  all  the  graces  of  mind  and 
heart  and  femininity,  a  typical  gentlewoman,  wdiose  loveliness  was 
compelling.  Devoted  to  home,  she  was  always  the  center  of  a 
large  family  circle,  who  gave  her  unmeasured  love  and  attention. 

But  outside  of  her  kinspeople  there  were  many  to  whom  Mme. 
Gary  was  known,  for  in  her  younger  days  she  was  the  acknowledged 
leader  of  Buffalo  society,  and  still  with  the  passing  of  the  years, 
this  fine  gentlewoman  held  sw^ay.  even  though  Buffalo  society  is 
made  of  many  circles.  No  charity  ball,  the  climax  of  each  season's 
gaiety,  has  seemed  complete  without  the  presence  of  Mme.  Gary, 
the  grande  dame  in  her  shimmering  ivory  satins  and  rare  laces,  and 
her  advent  was  always  marked  by  a  hum  of  interest  and  a  steady 
stream  of  friends  to  pay  court  to  her  in  her  box.  And  a  rarely 
lovely  picture  she  made  in  her  sweet  dignity,  product  of  the  elegant 
training  of  past  generations,  with  a  spirit  of  unquenched  youth. 
Though  old  in  years,  as  they  are  counted,  Mme.  Gary  was  as  young 
as  the  youngest  and  loved  to  be  surrounded  by  youth  and  beauty, 
and  to  youth  and  beauty  she  was  ever  a  stately  queen,  to  whom  it 
was  a  happiness  to  pay  court. 

Every  afternoon  at  3  o'clock  Mme.  Gary  was  wont  to  take  her 
daily  drive,  and,  in  the  parks,  her  passing  was  ahvays  marked  with 
mterest  by  those  who  knew  her,  and  by  those  wdio  saw  onlv  a 
lovely  old  lady,  just  stepped  from  a  bower  of  lavender  and  flcnvers 
to  enjoy  an  outing  in  the  sunlight. 

"It  is  given  to  few  women  to  stand  out  alone,  with  no  double, 
no  rival,  in  a  city  of  half  a  million,  and  it  is  thus  Mme.  Gary 
has  stood  for  more  than  half  a  century.  Her  death  yesterday 
leaves  a  vacancy  none  may  hope  to  fill,  because  of  her  enormous 
mdividualitv  and  her  consistent  expression  of  the  same.  *  *  * 
"She  had  just  returned,  with  her  sister.  Miss  Love,  from  an  ex- 
tended trip  to  Panama,  to  the  San  Diego  and  San  Francisco  expo- 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  319 

sitions,   where  she   was  honored  by  everyone,  many  special   atten- 
tions being  paid  her  in  San  Francisco  where  she  had  many  friends." 

The  return  trip  was  made  over  the  Canadian  Pacific  route  and 
to  her  every  mile  of  the  trip  was  a  delight  *  *  *  and  friends 
made  her  progress  home  by  easy  stages  a  journey  de  luxe."  "So 
much  was  the  journey  enjoyed  by  her,  that  she  even  talked  of 
extending  it  to  Honolulu  and  Japan." 

Madame  Gary  was  eighty-eight  years  of  age.  Five  sons  and 
the  husband  of  her  only  daughter  acted  as  bearers  at  her  funeral, 
while  two  grandsons  and  a  great  grandson  attended  the  services 
at  the  family  lot  at  Forest  Lawn." 

The  above  notices  refer  to  Mme.  Gary's  only  daughter,  who 
is  Mrs.  Lawrence  Dana  Rumsey.  Her  son,  Gharles  Gary  Rumsey, 
had  many  beautiful  pieces  of  sculpture  at  the  San  Francisco  expo- 
sition, and  his  Pizzaro  was  one  of  the  four  great  pieces  at  the 
Fair. 

Mrs.  Rumsey's  youngest  son,  Lawrence,  deserves  special  men- 
tion in  these  pages.  He  comes  from  a  long  line  of  "fighting  an- 
cestors." Since  1630  his  ancestors  on  the  Maltby  and  White  side 
of  the  house  have  been  fighters.  French-Indian  wars.  Revolutionary 
War,  the  War  of  1812  and  our  own  Givil  War  have  found  his 
forebears  ready  to  fight,  and  if  need  be,  die  for  their  country.  We 
have  not  forgotten  that  in  the  black  days  of  our  own  struggle  for 
Liberty,  France  came  to  our  aid — ^certainly  Mr.  Rumsey  has  re- 
membered, for  now  "somewhere  in  France"  his  aeroplane  hovers 
over  the  battlefields. 

Shortly  after  war  broke  out  Mr.  Rumsey  went  to  Dunkirk 
and  served  ten  months  in  the  American  Ambulance  Corps,  carrying 
the  sick  and  wounded  from  the  station  to  hospitals  about  the  town 
and  countryside,  at  times  chased  by  German  Taubes  dropping 
shells  at  the  line  of  Red  Cross  ambulances  as  close  as  50  yards ! 
At  the  front  trenches  near  Ypres  he  took  his  turn  relieving  the 
exhausted  chaufifeurs.  Six  days  was  all  a  strong  man  could  endure 
at  a  time.  (While  at  Ypres  he  walked  over  to  "The  Cloth  House 
Tower"  and  picked  a  yellow  rose  which  he  sent  his  mother.)  Later 
]Mr.  Rumsey  joined  The  Foreign  Legion  to  become  an  aviator. 
His  quickness  of  action  acquired  from  polo,  hockey  and  football 
have  doubtless  been  a  great  help  in  preparing  him  for  this  stu- 
pendous game  of  war.     Four  months'  study  and  thrilling  practice 


320  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— AIALTBIE 

at  Paris,  France,  won  his  "brevet"  (commission)  as  "Pilot;"  al- 
though he  had  hoped  to  obtain  a  "chasseur" — a  plane  that  is  used 
to  chase  off  and  fight  to  the  death  the  Zeppelins,  but  it  happens 
that  these  require  men  long  in  the  service,  who  do  not  even  think 
of  their  machines !  Mr.  Rumsey's  letters  are  concise  and  brief — 
and  he  failed  to  speak  of  his  escape  from  an  accident  and  splintered 
plane,  until  his  family  wrote  for  particulars,  having  seen  the  report 
in  a  newspaper. 

Mr.  Rumsey  was  practicing  his  "test  for  a  triangle"  at  an 
p.Ititude  of  3,600  feet;  he  had  reached  his  second  side  when  the 
engine  went  dead,  and  the  plane,  upside  dozvn,  fell  2,400  feet,  he 
pulling  and  jerking  to  start  the  engine.  1,200  feet  from  the  ground 
he  was  able  to  right  himself  and  engine,  but  had  to  land  as  best 
he  could,  having  no  time  to  "pick  the  spot !" 

The  next  flight  he  was  lost  four  hours  in  the  clouds  with  no 
compass.  Then  at  last  he  saw  snow  covered  mountains,  and  put 
for  them  as  he  realized  he  was  over  Spain  and  to  land  would  mean 
"internment  for  the  war."  As  his  gasoline  was  low  he  was  obliged 
to  land  again  without  reaching  the  hangar ;  but  on  the  mountain 
side. 

He  is  "somewhere  at  the  front"  pilotting  "map-takers"  or 
'"bomb-throwers."  The  papers  tell  us  frecjuently  that  "a  squadron 
of  French  planes  hovered  over  the  battle  fields,"  and  that  is  all 
the  news  one  gets,  for  the  mails  lately  have  brought  no  news  to 
the  anxious  hearts  at  home.  To  this  brave  and  gallant  officer  our 
hearts  must  go  out  in  sympathy  with  his  work,  and  honor  him  as 
all  such  brave  men  should  be  honored,  and  when  the  time  comes 
that  our  own  country  has  need  of  such  men  and  service,  may  we 
find  the  Spirit  of  '76  still  living  in  the  hearts  of  those  Americans, 
v;ho  like  Mr.  Rumsey,  come  from  a  long  line  of  ancestors,  who 
freely  offered  their  lives  to  protect  their  homes,  and  their  country. 

Another  descendant  of  Gen.  Isaac  Maltby  is  Major  Reginald

MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  321 

MRS.  LLXLXDA  MALTBY 

wife  of  Gen.  Isaac  Alaltby 

Obituary 

Died  at  Bufifalo.  X.  Y..  on  June  9th,  1844,  aged  73  rears,  relict 
of  Gen.  Isaac  Maltby,  who,  in  1818,  emigrated  from  Hatfield,  Mass., 
to  Waterloo,  X.  Y.,  where  he  died  in  the  following  year. 

It  may  be  wondered  at  that  a  life  so  quiet  and  unobstrusive  as 
]\Irs.  Maltby's  should  find  more  than  the  common  brief  record  of 
its  close,  and,  especially,  that  it  should  call  public  attention  in  a 
part  of  the  countr}-  where  she  was  never  much  known  and  from 
which  she  had  been  absent  so  many  years.  She  had  no  ambition 
for  posthumous  renown.  By  none  would  it  have  been  less  expected 
than  by  her  who  was  not  emulous  of  distinction  while  among  the 
living.  She  was  too  earnestly  bent  on  duty  to  care  much  for  fame. 
Her  desire  was  to  find  favor  in  the  sight  of  God ;  and,  surely,  if 
in  his  sight  "a  meek  and  quiet  spirit  is  of  great  price,"  hers  is 
among  the  richest  treasures  gathered  from  the  dust  of  the  world. 

Mrs.  Maltby  was  the  daughter  and,  we  believe,  the  only  child 
of  Col.  Seth  Murray,  of  Hatfield,  and  was  bred  in  the  most  intelli- 
gent, refined  and  virtuous  society  with  which  her  native  town  and 
its  vicinity  were  favored.  But  she  reckoned  not  quality  by  descent 
nor  searched  for  her  virtues  in  the  family  record.  Se  was  a  "lady" 
in  the  most  honorable  meaning  of  that  misunderstood  word — in  those 
accomplishments  which  are  of  far  more  difficult  attainment  and  of 
unspeakably  more  worth  than  all  the  afiluence  of  fortune  set  off 
with  the  skill  of  politeness  and  the  costly  array  of  fashion.  Not 
negligent  of  the  proprieties  of  outward  appearance  and  demeanor, 
the  grace  she  most  studied  and  was  most  adorned  by.  was  of  the 
liidden  person  of  the  heart.  Good  sense  and  great  virtue  were  the 
worthy  elements  which  made  up  her  character — elements  few  as 
those  of  the  air  we  breathe,  and,  like  them,  forming  the  transparent 
vital  sustenance  of  being.  Simplicity  and  godly  sincerity  a  stranger 
would  at  once  read  in  her  countenance,  and  an  acquaintance  always 
admire  in  her  life.  Her  benevolence  was  a  matter  of  deep  principle 
and  active  habit.  It  was  not  with  her,  as  with  too  many,  visible 
(Mily  in  the  sunshine  and  on  the  tranquil  sea  of  life,  but.  like  the 
humble  yet  sacred  bird  of  the  mariner,  most  sure  to  appear  in  the 
darkness  and  peril  of  the  storm.  The  faults  of  others  she  had  no 
willingness  to  search  out,  and  therefore  no  special  gift  to  find  or 
to  suspect ;  and.  if  their  obvious  presence  could  not  escape  her  no- 
tice, she  was  more  ready  to  pity  and  forgive  than  to  inflict  censure. 


322  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

however  much  deserved.  The  performance  of  her  duties  was  a 
concern  of  every  day  and  of  all  their  hours.  She  was  not  of  those 
who  lived  abroad,  and  run  to  and  fro  after  piety.  Her  own  house 
was  her  home,  and  her  religion  burned  bright  and  cheerful  at  her 
own  fireside.  Neither  was  her  welfare  mainly  sought  in  schemes 
and  efforts  for  securing  distant  or  imagined  good,  but  her  happi- 
ness was  never  nearer  being  complete  than  in  promoting  the  joy 
of  those  around  her.  Nevertheless,  the  law  of  kindness  in  her  heart 
was  exceeding  broad,  and,  while  it  shed  a  blessed  influence  on  her 
own  family  and  neighborhood,  it  spread  over  the  largest  circle  of 
human  need.  The  rites  of  hospitality  she  performed  as  if  she  were 
her  own  guest,  except  as  she  never  seemed  quite  so  happy  as  in 
blessing  others,  whether  kindred  or  strangers.  Her  piety  was  of 
the  quick  conscience  rather  than  of  the  nimble  tongue  and  of  a  sim- 
ple rather  than  of  subtle  faith.  Equally  remote  from  the  exclusive- 
ness  of  bigotry  and  the  blindness  of  indiscriminate  charity,  she 
thought  well  of  all  whose  lives  exhibited  the  principles  of  her 
blessed  Lord  and  Redeemer.  She  did  not  exact  from  others  duties 
which  she  was  backward  to  perform  herself ;  but  as  a  wife  and 
mother,  as  a  friend  and  neighbor,  as  a  disciple  and  a  professed 
follower  of  Christ,  she  was  a  pattern  whom  all  in  these  relations 
might  profitably  imitate. 

Of  her  own  goodness  she  was  neither  boastful  nor  seemed  con- 
scious, and  well  could  her  lips  afford  to  be  silent  when  her  life  was 
so  constant  a  repetition  of  praise.  But  with  all  of  her  excellent 
qualities,  she  was  humble  for  defects  not  discerned  by  others,  and 
prayerful  for  forgiveness  of  sins  and  for  grace  that  in  nothing  she 
might  ofifend.  If  meekness  and  gentleness,  if  undissembled  good 
will,  if  not  to  be  weary  in  well  doing,  if  patience  in  tribulation,  if 
communion  with  God,  if  an  humble  but  cheerful  hope  in  her  Re- 
deemer are  evidence  of  Christian  character  and  of  a  title  to  the 
Christian's  reward,  her  inheritance  is  now  with  the  saints  in  light. 

Blessed  spirit !  Thou  hast  indeed  entered  into  thy  rest.  Thou 
hast  forsaken  the  cares,  the  sorrows,  and  all  the  infirmities  of  this 
sinful  and  troublous  world.  They  shall  never  again  approach  thee, 
for  thou  hast  ascended  to  heaven  and  put  on  immortality !  Thy 
bright  example  is  yet  with  us.  Happy  shall  they  be  who  have  the 
wisdom  to  imitate  it.  The  glory  which  thou  hast  shall  be  theirs 
also. 

Reader,  she  who  is  the  subject  of  this  heartfelt  tribute  was  to 
you  personally  unknown,  and,  perhaps,  the  present  is  the  first  time 
you  have  learned  even  that  she  lived.     But,  if  to  such  virtues  as 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY-MALTBIE  323 

adorned  her  life  yours  is  not  a  stranger,  this  imperfect  memorial  will 
not  be  deemed  unworthy  of  your  regard.  You  will  understand  that 
the  record  of  true  goodness,  wherever  and  whenever  it  has  lived, 
though  not  even  the  name  of  its  possessor  were  written,  is  grateful 
in  every  tongue  of  every  clime.

.MARTHA  CHURCH  MALTBY 
(Airs.  Harlow  Swain  Love) 

For  this  sketch  of  Airs.  Harlow  Swain  Love  we  are  indebted 
to  her  daughter,  Mrs.  Frederick  E.  Foster.  Airs.  Love  was  a  daugh- 
ter of  General  Isaac  Alaltby  (See  Biography.) 

Alartha  Church  Maltby  was  the  youngest  of  the  ten  children 
of  Gen.  Isaac  Alaltby  and  Lucinda  Murray,  his  wife,  who  was  the 
daughter  of  Gen.  Seth  Murray,  an  ofificer  during  the  entire  war  of 
llie  Revolution  and  who  participated  in  nearly  all  of  the  early 
engagements  and  was  present  at  the  Battle  of  Bennington,  and  also 
at  the  surrender  of  Burgoyne.  She  was  born  in  Hatfield,  Alass. : 
later  her  parents  removed  to  Waterloo,  N.  Y.,  when  she  was  but 
two  years  of  age,  and  upon  her  marriage  to  Air.  Harlow  S.  Love, 
tlieir  home  was  established  in  Buft'alo,  X.  Y.,  where  all  of  her  five 
children  were  born.  Prior  to  i860  the  family  made  several  trips 
to  California  by  way  of  Panama,  and  in  that  year  they  located 
permanently  in  San  Francisco,  wdiere  Air.  Love,  until  his  death  in 
1866.  was  a  prominent  member  of  the  legal  profession,  and  where, 
later,  their  son  John  became  Attorney-General  of  the  State  of  Cali- 
fornia and  subse(|uently  the  city  and  county  attorney  of  San 
Francisco. 

Airs.  Love  was  a  person  of  great  intellectuality,  refinement  and 
cultivation  and  of  a  lovely  and  graceful  presence.  She  was  en- 
dowed in  an  eminent  degree  with  all  those  tender  attributes  which 
endear  a  woman  to  the  circle  of  her  familiar  friends  and  possessed 
tliat  gentleness  and  benevolence  of  character  which  purifies  and 
softens  the  social  atmosphere  of  her  surroundings.  To  these  qual- 
ities were  united  an  unostentatious  charity  and  helpfulness  which 
all  of  her  intimates  have  reason  to  remember  with  afifectionate 
gratitude.  Her  literary  attainments  were  of  a  high  order;  and  for 
manv  vears  she  contributed  to  the  public  prints  articles  on  various 


324  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

subjects,  which  were  widel}'  read  and  favorably  received.  She 
also  devoted  much  labor  and  attention  to  genealogical  research,  and 
was  instrumental  in  tracing  and  rescuing  from  oblivion  the  Imes 
of  her  descent  from  Colonial  and  Revolutionary  ancestors,  all  of 
whom  were  of  distinguished  stock. 

Mrs.  Love  crossed  the  Pacific  Ocean  numerous  times,  visiting 
Hong  Kong,  China,  on  the  occasion  of  the  marriage  of  her  daughter. 
I,eila,  to  William  Hammond  Foster,  Jr.  (a  member  of  the  celebrated 
American  house  of  Russell  and  Co.,  China)  and  some  years  later 
making  her  home  with  the  youngest  daughter,  Martha,  the  wife  of 
Frederick  E.  Foster,  successively  in  Yokohama,  Japan,  and  Hong 
Kong,  China,  where  Mr.  Foster  represented,  as  General  Agent,  the 
trans-Pacific  lines  of  steamers  plying  between  those  ports  and  San 
Francisco.  Mrs.  Love  and  her  husband  are  interred  in  Lone  Moun- 
tain Cemetery,  San  Francisco.  California,  and  are  survived  (in 
1908)  only  by  their  daughter,  Martha  (Mrs.  F.  E.  Foster)  now  re~ 
siding  in  Mount  Vernon,  N.  Y.* 

Note. — Mr.  Maximilian  Foster,  the  well  known  author,  is  a  son  of  Leila 
Love  who  married  William  Hammond  Foster,  Jr.,  a  grandson  of  Martha 
Maltby  Love,  and  great-grandson  of  General   Isaac   Maltby. 

Major  Seth  Murray  Maltby,  son  of  General  Isaac,  was  the 
father  of  Mr.  George  Beecher  Maltby,  Mr.  John  Whitehouse  -\Ialtby 
and  Mrs.  Albert  T.  Higby  (Mary  Maltby).  whose  pictures  will  be 
found  on  the  opposite  page.  George  Beecher  and  John  Whitehouse 
are  the  two  oldest  "Maltby  twins"  known  to  the  compiler  and  are 
seventy-two  years  of  age. 

From  left  to  right,  seated  on  the  bench  are  Mr.  George  Beecher 
Maltby,  Mary  Maltby  Higby.  and  Mr.  John  Whitehouse  Maltby. 
Standing  are  Mrs.  George  Beecher  Maltby.  who  kindly  furnished 
the  photograph  and  Mr.  Albert  T.  Higby.  This  photograph  was 
taken  in  the  summer  of  1910.  and  we  regret  to  record  that  shortly 
after  Mr.  John  Whitehouse  Maltby's  death  occurred. 

It  will  be  sad  news  to  many  of  the  Maltbys  to  learn  that  shortly 
after  photograph  of  "the  Maltby  Twins"  was  taken,  Mr.  John  White- 
house  Maltby  began  to  fail  rapidly  in  health.  On  June  17th,  1911, 
he  passed  away  at  the  home  of  his  twin  brother,  Air.  George  Beecher 
Maltby,  in  Aurora,  Indiana,  a  hardeniiT^:  of  the  arteries  beino-  the 
cause  of  his  death. 

*  Mrs.  Love  took  great  interest  in  her  Maltby  ancestors  and  was  in- 
defatigable in  her  efforts  to  obtain  family  records  and  old  documents.  This 
work  is  always  a  labor  of  love  and  in  her  time  was  doubtless  unappreciated 
and  undervalued,  but  oosterity  can  not  fail  to  be  g-rateful  for  the  careful 
work  done  by  her,  and  must  honor  her  for  her  persistency  in  carrying  on 
labors   which   met   with   little   encouragement    or   response.

Air.  Maltby,  accompanied  by  his  son,  made  the  sad  journey 
east  to  the  old  home  in  Rochester,  New  York,  and  there  on  June 
20th,  buried  his  brother  beside  his  wife,  who  had  died  on  Oct.  20th. 
1908,  and  whose  loss  had  caused  a  breaking  down  in  health  from 
which  the  bereaved  husband  never  recovered. 

Mr.  George  Beecher  Alaltby  died  April  22,  191 5. 


CAPTAIN  JONATHON  MALTBIE,  3d 

The  following  sketch  was  written  by  IMiss  Lynes : 

My  great-grandfather,  Jonathon  Maltbie,  3d,  was  the  only  child 
of  Jonathon,  Jr.,  and  Abigail  Holmes  Maltbie;  born  at  Stamford, 
Conn.,  December  17,  1744.  He  removed  to  Fairfield,  Conn.,  and  mar- 
ried Elizabeth,  the  daughter  of  David  and  Sarah  Gold  Allen  Oct.  23d, 
1768.  He  was  a  sea  captain  in  the  East  India  trade  and  lived  in 
one  of  the  historical  houses  given  in  the  "History  of  Fairfield 
County"  as  "Colonial  No.  4."  This  house  was  built  in  1766  by 
Isaac  Tucker,  who  sold  it  to  Captain  Maltbie,  who  owned  and  oc- 
cupied it  during  Revolutionary  times,  and  was  one  of  the  few  houses 
left  standing  at  the  burning  of  Fairfield.  Mr.  Henry  Rowland,  a 
grandson,  in  writing  some  reminiscences,  states  that  "grandfather 
Maltbie's  (house)  was  reserved  for  a  cook  house.  After  the  con- 
flagration the  inhabitants  returned  (when  the  British  had  gone 
aboard  their  ships).  Grandfather  Maltbie  on  returning  to  his  house 
found  all  their  valuable  china  scooped  off  the  shelves  on  to  the  floor 
and  broken  into  pieces  and  everything  upside  down.  In  the  kitchen 
in  the  fireplace  hung  a  large  brass  kettle  filled  with  their  hams,  but 
they  dare  not  eat  them,  fearing  that  they  were  poisoned  (so  they 
started  anew  with  provisions)." 

Captain  Maltbie's  son,  William,  inherited  this  place  and  sold 
it  to  Justin  Hobart.  The  house  is  still  standing  today  in  good  con- 
dition. Jonathon  Maltbie  was  ist  Lieutenant  of  the  "Trumbull," 
one  of  the  first  cruisers  built  for  the  Continental  navy :  Dudley  Sal- 
tonstall.  Commander.  She  went  into  service  about  April,  1780,  car- 
rying 28  guns  and  her  crew  numbered  200.  Her  first  engagement 
under  Captain  Nicholson,  occurred  June  2nd  of  the  same  year,  with 
the  "Watt."  (Query:  Wasp?')  an  English  letter-of-marque,  under 
Captain  Colehart.  She  carried  34  guns  and  250  men.  The  "\\^att" 
was  a  private  vessel  with  a  car^^o  of  great  value  and  was  especially 
equipped  to  fight  her  way.  This  was  the  first  action  of  any  moment 
that  occurred   in    1780  and  had   the   reputation   of  beinq-  the   most

obstinate  and  sanguinary  naval  battle  during  the  Revolution.  The 
''Trumbull,"  being  badly  disabled,  failed  to  capture  the  "Watt,"  al- 
though she  defeated  her. 

The  next  summer,  1781,  she  left  the  Delaware,  still  under 
Captain  Nicholson,  having  been  thoroughly  equipped  as  convoy  to 
28  sail  of  merchant  craft  bound  for  Cape  Francois,  West  Indies. 
Off  the  capes,  the  "Trumbull"  met  three  British  cruisers  astern. 
Two  of  them,  one  being  a  frigate,  stood  for  the  ''Trumbull,"  which

ship,  by  hauling  up  gained  the  wind  of  them.  While  standing  on  in 
this  manner,  hoping  everything  from  the  darkenss  which  was  fast 
approaching,  a  gale  carried  away  the  "Trumbull's"  foretop  mast, 
which,  in  falling,  brought  down  the  main  gallant  mast.  She  was 
otherwise  disabled  and  night  coming  on  was  unable  to  clear  up  the 
wreck.  At  10  o'clock  the  "Iris,"  32  guns,  one  of  the  vessels  in 
chase,  closed  with  her  and  forced  her  to  combat.  In  the  midst  of 
rain  and  tempestuous  winds.  Captain  Nicholson  found  himself 
obliged  to  go  to  quarters  or  to  strike  without  resistance.     He  pre-

ferred  to  do  the  first,  but  the  EngHsh  volunteers  on  board  his  ship, 
instead  of  obeying  orders,  went  below,  extinguished  lights  and 
secreted  themselves.  Near  half  the  remaining  men  followed  their 
example  and  Captain  Nicholson  could  not  muster  fifty  of  even  the 
diminished  crew  he  had  at  the  guns.  The  battle  that  followed 
might  almost  be  said  to  have  been  fought  by  the  officers.  These 
brave  men  sustained  by  a  party  of  petty  officers  and  seamen  man- 
aged a  few  of  the  guns  for  more  than  an  hour,  when  the  "General 
Alonk,"  i8  guns,  coming  up  and  joining  in  the  fire  of  the  "Iris," 
the  "Trumbull"  submitted.  The  "Trumbull."  after  her  capture,  was 
towed  into  New  York  harbor  and  condemned.  Though  unsuccess- 
ful in  her  battles,  she  still  fought  two  of  the  most  famous  fights  that 
took  place  on  the  ocean  during  the  exciting  times  of  the  Revolution. 

Jonathon  Maltby  was  afterwards  appointed  Master  of  the 
"Argus,"  a  cutter  in  the  service  of  the  United  States  for  the  pro- 
tection of  the  revenue.  He  died  Feb.  nth,  1798,  while  in  command 
of  this  vessel,  and  was  buried  in  the  old  cemetery  at  Fairfield,  Conn. 
The  date  of  Jonathon  Maltbie's  commission  as  ist  Lieutenant  is 
Oct.  1 2th,  1776.  Date  of  commission  as  Captain  by  George  Wash- 
ington, March  2ist,  1791. 

Through  the  kindness  of  Mr.  Frank  Pentecost  of  Lawrence- 
ville,  Georgia,  we  have  received  a  copy  of  the  commission  of  Jona- 
thon (4)  Maltbie,  signed  by  George  Washington.  Mr.  Pentecost 
tried  to  obtain  a  photograph  of  the  document  for  us,  but  the  photo- 
graphers said  it  would  be  impossible  as  the  type  has  become  too  in- 
distinct. 

Mr.  Pentecost  is  a  great-grandson  of  Captain  Jonathon  (4)

^Ir.  John  H.  Beach  of  Bridgeport  writes  that  several  years

meeting  of  the  "Mary  Silliman  Chapter.  D.  A.  R..  on  Lieut.  Jonathon 
Maltbie,  in  which  she  describes  him  as  "having  red  hair  and  a 
quick  temper."  It  would  be  interesting  to  know  how  INIrs.  Cross 
obtained  this  information,  whether  from  written  documents  or  if 
perchance  from  a  portrait  which  has  been  lost  to  the  family.

ZACHEUS  MALTBIE 

Zacheus  (5)  Alaltbie,  whose  photograph  we  show  on  this 
page,  was  born  August  19th,  1774.  and  baptized  September  18, 
1774.  at  Norfolk  Connecticut. 

He  was  the  fifth  child  of  Daniel  (4)  and  Margaret  Munson 
Maltbie.     [Daniel  (3),  Daniel  (2),  William  (i).] 

According  to  the  record  given  in  an  old  family  Bible,  he  mar- 
ried Reunah  Burchard,  April  5.  1797:  she  born  May  22,  1777.  Pos- 
sibly they  were  married  at  New  Marlborough,  Massachusetts,  as 
Burchard  seems  to  be  the  name  of  a  resident  family  in  this  town.

Miss  Lucy  Ann  Morton  writes  that  Reunah  Burchard  was  the 
daughter  of  David  and  Mercy  Burchard  and  that  she  had  two 
brothers,  Ezra  and  Amos  Burchard.  David  Burchard's  name  ap- 
pears in  the  New  Marlborough  list,  census  of  1790 — "7  in  family.  ' 

March  i,  1808,  Amos  Burchard  of  New  Marlborough,  hatter, 
purchased  land  of  Zacheus  Maltby  situated  in  Lee.  Shortly  after 
the  marriage  of  Zacheus  Maltbie  to  Reunah  Burchard  we  find  them 
at  Lee,  Mass..  where  their  first  child,  Ezra  Burchard,  was  born, 
April  I,  1798.  Their  second  child,  Mercy  Burcliard,  was  born  Feb. 
8,   1800,  at  Lee,  Mass. 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  331 

On  March  i,  1802,  Zacheus  Maltbie  was  appointed  a  fence 
viewer  at  Lee,  and  elected  constable  and  collector  in  1805  and  1806. 
November  30,  1807.  the  town  appointed  a  committee  to  settle  with 
him,  and  chose  a  collector  to  succeed  him,  from  which  it  would 
apear  he  had  left  town  about  that  time.  In  May,  1808,  his  "cattle 
mark"  was  recorded  for  another  person. 

Daniel  and  Lester  Maltbie  do  not  seem  to  have  been  born  at 
Lee,  for  their  births  are  not  recorded  here. 

Miss  Lucv  Ann  ]Morton.  whose  mother  was  the  ]\Iercy  Maltby 
born  at  Lee  in  1800.  remembers  her  grandfather  and  grandmother

and  says  "they  came  overland  from  Lee,  Mass.,  to  Groton  City, 
X.  Y.,  and  had  to  clear  the  land  to  build  as  it  was  all  wooded 
land  at  that  time.  Mother  (Mercy  ^laltby)  was  seven  years  old 
when  they  came  from  Massachusetts."  Consequently  we  may  sup- 
pose the  trip  was  undertaken  the  last  of  1807  or  early  in  1808. 

Zacheus  Maltbie  settled  at  Summer  Hill,  Cayuga  County,  N.  Y., 
and  built  himself  a  house  that  was  quite  complete  for  those  days. 
Miss  McGeer  tried  to  obtain  a  photograph  of  this  old  homestead 
but  could  not,  consequently  we  must  depend  upon  her  description. 
"The  house,  of  which  only  a  part  of  the  original,  is  still  standing. 
Formerly  there  was  quite  a  building  in  the  rear  but  it  has  either 
blown  or  been  torn  down.     It  is  one  and  a  half  stories  high.

"Some  of  the  wall  decorations  are  still  to  be  seen;  trees,  birds 
and  pictures  painted  on  the  walls."  (All  are  painted  not  papered, 
you  understand. )  "Last  summer  the  great  big  fireplace  was  boarded 
up,  but  I  remember  the  old-fashioned  brick  oven,  and  what  was 
called  a  'recess'  built  off  the  living  room.  My  mother,  Margaret 
Ann  Maltby  was  born  here." 

Miss  McGeer's  father  also  remembers  Zacheus  Maltby  and 
says :  "He  was  a  hatter  and  used  to  trap  for  mink  and  muskrat 
which  he  made  into  fur  hats  by  the  old  'hand  process' — people  came 
from  Auburn  and  other  places  to  have  him  make  their  hats." 

Melville  Barry  Smith,  prior  to  his  death,  wrote :  "Grandfather 
Zacheus  Maltby  was  a  hat  maker.  I  can  just  remember  his  show- 
ing me  some  hats  he  took  from  a  shelf  and  telling  me  he  made 
them." 

Sylvester  Daniel  Maltbie  wrote:  "Father.  Ezra  B.,  served  in 
the  war  of  1812  for  grandfather  Zacheus — father  being  only  four- 
teen or  fifteen  when  he  enlisted." 

James  M.  Maltbie  wrote:  "Grandfather  was  known  and  called 
by  nearly  everybody  'Uncle  Zack.'  I  have  forgotten  his  father's 
name.  I  have  heard  him  say  that  his  parents  lived  in  or  near  Lee, 
Mass.  He  moved  into  this  state  when  m}^  father  was  very  young, 
locating  in  the  town  of  Groton,  Tompkins  Co.,  but  finally  removing 
tc  Summer  Hill,  Cayuga  Co.,  where  he  died.  He  was  a  hatter  by 
trade,  and  my  father  worked  with  him.  He  used  to  hunt  and  trap 
for  furs  and  was  also  a  noted  fisherman.  He  was  a  good  singer 
genial  and  a  good  story-teller,  so  the  youn-?  people  all  delighted  to 
get  Uncle  Zack  to  telling  stories.  He  had  six  children,  Ezra,  Alercy, 
Daniel,  Lester,  Alanson  and  r\Iargaret. 

"My  father,  Daniel,  married  Desire  Howland  and  her  sister, 
Mary  Howland,  married  a  cousin  of  my  father's,  James  Maltby  and 
he  had  a  brother,  Seth  Maltby.  who  resided  in  Syracuse  and  I 
think  was  a  banker.     He  had  two  daughters. 

XoTi-.— Allen,  Seth,  Bridscy  and  James  :\raltbie  were  children  of  Jehiel 
and  Phoebe  Maltbie  and  Jehiel  was  the  oldest  brother  of  Zacheus,  conse- 
quently James  and  Seth  were  first  cousins  of  Mr.  James  Maltbie's  father, 
as  stated. 

Mr.  James  R.  Maltbie  also  writes:  "Grandfather  had  a  younger- 
brother  named  Daniel,  who  came  into  this  state  with  liim.  He 
studied  medicine  for  a  while  but  became  ill  and  settled  on  a  small 
farm  in  Groton  and  lived  a  hermit  life  there  for  forty  years,  but 
finally  came  to  my  father's  and  spent  his  last  days  with  tis.  T  think 
Seth  Maltbie  of  Svracuse  removed  to  Oswego  before  he  died."

to  Lake  Co.,  Illinois.  On  the  22nd  of  May,  1859,  was  married 
to  Mary  R.  Gilbert.  At  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War  IMr.  Maltby 
enlisted  as  a  private  in  Co.  F,  37th  Illinois  Infantry.  He  was 
engaged  with  his  regiment  in  many  of  the  important  campaigns 
of  the  western  army  and  was  honorably  discharged  Sept.  22.  1864. 
After  the  war  he  moved  to  Allamakee  Co.,  Iowa,  and  later  to 
Winneshiek  Co.,  where  he  lived  till  his  death. 

He  was  for  many  years  one  of  the  prosperous  agriculturists 
of  the  county  until  his  retiring  from  active  life,  since  which  time  he 
made  his  home  with  his  children. 

For  many  years  he  took  an  active  part  in  the  politics  of  the 
county,  ably  serving  the  people  for  several  years  as  assessor  and 
as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors.  He  was  also  a  valued 
member  of  the  G.  A.  R.,  keeping  in  close  touch  with  his  comrades, 
who  will  feel  the  loss  of  their  comrade. 

He  died  Aug.  11,  1915,  at  the  home  of  his  daughter,  Airs. 
Fannie  Whitnev. 


SARAH  KEYES  MALTBY 

This  interesting  silhouette  was  very  kindly  sent  us  by  Mrs. 
J.  A.  Thompson  of  Owosso,  Michigan,  a  granddaughter  of  Jacob 
(5)  Maltby  and  his  wife,  Sally  Keyes.  Jacob  Maltby  was  born  in 
1776,  and  married  Sally  Keyes  January  3,  1803.  He  went  from 
Norfolk,  Connecticut,  and  settled  on  the  Western  reserve  near 
Unionville,  Ohio,  called  "New  Connecticut." 

Mrs.  Tyler,  a  granddaughter,  has  furnished  us  with  some  in- 
formation concerning  Sally  Maltby.  She  writes:  "Grandmother 
was  lame,  a  spare  built,  very  prim  person.  She  was  a  very  fine 
needle  woman  and  taught  me  to  sew  and  knit.  She  was  born  in 
Litchfield,  Connecticut.  My  grandparents  came  to  Ohio  some- 
tMue  in  1820  or  1821.  My  grandfather,  Jacob,  was  a  very  quaint 
old  man.  When  I  look  back  to  my  childhood  days  I  see  him  in  the 
play  house  he  built  for  my  sister  and  myself,  playing  with  us.  enter- 
ing into  all  our  sports  like  a  little  one  with  us.  My  mother  was 
bis  idol  and  favorite  daughter-in-law.  My  father's  family  were 
very  proud  and  men  of  splendid  habits.  The  old  stock  of  Maltbys. 
as  far  as  I  know,  were  men  of  the  very  best  of  habits." 

It  is  just  such  bits  of  personal  data  that  we  desire  for  our 
genealogv — little  things  which  bring  back  more  closely  to  us  those 
who  have   gone.

Such  items  are  difficult  to  obtain.  Few  of  us  could  write 
much  about  our  grandparents  if  asked  and  as  for  great-grandparents, 
we  should  know  nothing. 

We  feel  very  grateful  to  Mrs.  Tyler  for  bringing  back  to  us  a 
glimpse  of  the  grandfather  who  delighted  in  giving  happiness  to 
his  grandchildren,  and  the  grandmother  who  taught  the  little  fingers 
the  art  of  fine  sewing. 

John  (5)  Maltby,  Esqre.,  (see  portrait)  was  born  October  22,, 
1778,  in  Lenox,  Mass.  He  was  the  son  of  William  (4)  and  his 
second  wife,  Catherine  (Lee)  Maltby.  Catherine  Lee,  b.  1755,  at 
Lenox,  Mass.,  was  the  daughter  of  Stephen  and  Catherine  (Forbes) 
Lee;  granddaughter  of  Dr.  Isaac  and  Hary  (Hubbard)  Lee;  great 
granddaughter  of  Dr.  Stephen  and  Elizabeth  (Royce)  Lee;  and 
great,  great  granddaughter  of  John  and  Mary  (Hart)  Lee  of  Hart- 
ford and  Farmington,  Conn. 

John  Maltby  married  in  1805-6  Lucy  Cox,  daughter  of  William 
and  Mary  (Sawin)  Cox.  of  Watertown,  Mass. 

He  was  in  the  Revolutionary  War  and  is  buried  in  West  Fairlee, 
Vermont.  Upon  his  tombstone  is  this  inscription:  "HE  HELPED 
STEEP  THE  TEA  IN  THE  ATLANTIC." 

Some  of  the  ancestors  of  Lucy  (Cox)  ]\Ialtby  were:  [Matthew 
Cox,  1756;  John  Sawin,  1690;  William  Russell,  1661  ;  John  Cool- 
ridge,  1691  ;  Edward  Winship,  1613-1688;  Simon  Stone,  1585-

Mrs.  John  Maltby  died  Nov.  12,  1844,  in  Andook,  N.  V..  and 
her  husband  died  }vlay  4,  1856,  in  Footville,  Wisconsin. 

The  following  is  an  abstract  from  an  obituary : 
"John  Maltby,  died  in  Footville,  Wisconsin.  May  T4th,  1856, 
aged  79.  He  was  born  in  Lenox,  Mass.,  and  removed  to  A'ernon,

renewal  of  his  heart  by  the  Holy  Spirit,  and,  it  is  believed,  ever 
after  both  enjoyed  and  even  exemplified  the  religion  of  Christ. 
He  was  greatly  endeared  to  the  church  in  this  place  (\'ernon)  and

MR.  NORMAN  MALTBY 

"]\Ir.  Norman  Maltby,  whose  portrait  we  publish,  was  born 
on  his  father's  farm  near  A'ernon  Centre,  Oneida  County.  New 
York,  April  15,  1814;  when  he  was  about  eighteen  years  of  age 
it  was  recommended  that  he  take  a  sea  voyage  on  account  of  his 
health,  so  he  went  on  a  sailing  vessel  to  England.  During  the 
voyage  an  incident  occurred  which  he  often  related,  the  ship  had 
been  becalmed  for  several  days,  and  on  the  day  the  first  breeze 
came  up  he  was  standing  on  the  deck  with  a  companion  who  asked 
him,  'When  did  the  Captain  say  we  should  reach  land?'  He  re- 
plied :  'In  about  six  days.'  A  sailor  standing  near  remarked :  'The 
ship  may,  but  you  will  go  over  the  side  before  that.'  His  com- 
panion, who  was  really  a  robust  man  but  imagined  he  had  ever}'  kind 
of  disease,  burst  into  tears  and  said.  'What  will  become  of  mc,  I 
certainly  will  die  before  you  do.'  To  which  Mr.  Maltby  answered : 
'What  does  an  old  ignoramus  of  a  sailor  know  about  whether  [ 
shall  live  or  die,  I  am  going  to  England  on  this  ship  and  not  only 
that  but  I  am  going  back  to  America.'  The  sailor  looked  him  over 
and  said :  'Well,  when  a  man  looks  as  you  do,  has  that  much  grit 
and  nerve  it  wouldn't  surprise  me  if  he  did.' 

This  spirit  of  never-give-up  carried  him  through  many  trials 
in  after  life. 

On  his  return  to  America  he  went  to  Westmorland  where  he 
became  a  clerk  in  a  general  merchandise  store ;  one  of  the  first 
instructions  he  had  from  his  employer  was  'Obey  orders  if  you 
break  owners,'  and,  'Tf  you  sell  anything  that  is  to  be  charged,  if 
the  store  is  on  fire  make  the  charge,  then  save  the  books  and  any- 
thing else  you  can.'  Later  he  went  to  A'erona  and  entered  into 
partnership  in  tlie  general  merchandise  business  with  William  S. 
Armitage,  under  the  firm  name  of  Maltby  and  Armitage.  In  1861 
he  removed  to  Cleveland,  N.  Y.,  and  from  there  in  1863  to  Rome, 
N.  Y.,  where  he,  in  connection  with  Samuel  Ward  well  organized 
the  firm  of  Wardwell  and  Company,  dealers  in  hardware,  at  54  Dom- 
inick  Street.     In   186c;  he  went  to  ^Tissouri  in  farming  and  sheep

raising  in  Henry  county.  In  1868  he  removed  to  Sedalia,  Mo.,  and 
engaged  in  mercantile  business,  in  which  he  continued  until  his 
death  in  1876.  While  he  was  never  a  politician  he  was  elected  in 
1875  Mayor  of  Sedalia.  He  was  a  States  Rights  Democrat,  was 
opposed  to  the  war,  was  a  delegate  to  the  peace  convention  at 
Charleston,  was  for  many  years  a  member  of  the  Methodist  Church, 
but  left  it  in  1863  as  he  said  'He  could  hear  all  the  politics  and  war 
talk  he  wanted  to  hear  during  the  week,  and  did  not  want  to  hear 
it  from  the  pulpit.'  He  soon  after  became  a  member  of  the  Epis- 
copal Church  at  Rome,  and  was  vestryman  and  warden  of  the 
church  at  Sedalia,  being  senior  warden  at  the  time  of  his  death. 
He  was  a  conscientious  Christian,  a  man  noted  for  many  sterling 
qualities  of  head  and  heart,  and  for  his  honesty  and  integrity. 

Mr.  Norman  Maltby  married  Sept.  16,  1841,  Lovina  Maria 
Wright,  daughter  of  William  and  Susanna  (Sessions)  Wright.  Mrs. 
Alaltby  descended  from  a  great  many  prominent  families,  some  of 
them  being:  John  Wales  of  Idle,  Eng. ;  John  Greenaway,  Dor- 
chester, Mass. ;  Thomas  Stevens,  London,  England ;  Major  Simon 
Willard;  Thomas  Brigham.  b.  1603;  Ralph  Wheelock;  William 
Ward;  John  Pope;  William  Blake,  b.  1594;  Thomas  Axtell ;  John

John  Maltby.  Jr.,  married  Susannah  Clark  and  removed  to 
Southampton,  Long  Island,  where  he  died  June  27,  1706.  His 
tombstone  is  said  to  be  still  standing  and  should  be  photographed 
before  it  is  too  late.  The  Maltby  name  died  out  in  the  line  of 
descent  from  Mr.  John  Maltby,  as  John  (2)  had  only  one  child 
who  married,  namely,  Mary  (3)  Maltby,  who  became  the  wife  of 
Judge  Hugh  Gelston.  Hugh  (4)  Gelston  was  their  tenth  child, 
and  his  only  child  was  the  Rev.  Maltby  (5)  Gelston,  born  July  17, 
1766.  He  was  ordained  April  26,  1797,  and  for  forty-five  years 
he  was  settled  in  the  ministry  at  Sherman,  Conn.,  where  he  died 
Dec.  15,  1856,  aged  90. 

The  compiler  has  one  of  his  sermons  written  in  a  beautiful 
clear  handwriting  which  contrasts  vividly  to  many  an  "educated 
hand"  of  modern  times.

MR.  AND  MRS.  HARRISON   MALTBY  CELEBRATED 
GOLDEN  WEDDING 

("Evening  Independent,"  Ashtabula,  Ohio,  August  24,   19 10.) 

A  notable  event  in  the  history  of  the  Maltby  family  of  Ashta- 
bula County  and  Saybrook,  was  the  golden  wedding  celebrated 
yesterday,  August  23,  by  the  family  and  friends  of  Mr.  and  ]\Irs. 
Harrison  Maltby. 

Mr.  Maltby  is  one  of  the  oldest  well  known  residents  of  this 
section  and  is  hale  and  hearty  at  eighty  years  of  age.  He  married 
Miss  Emily  Hough  of  Rooktown,  Ohio,  who  has  been  to  him  a 
helpmeet  in  the  founding  of  a  home  remarkable  for  its  ideals. 

Mr.  Maltby,  as  were  his  ancestors  before  him,  is  a  farmer. 
He  is  of  that  sturdy  American  stock  which  has  wrested  a  living 
from  the  wilderness  for  as  far  back  as  one  hundred  years  before 
the  Revolution.     He  was  born  in  a  log  cabin  in  1830,  at  Southing-

ton.  Ohio,  and  knew  well  the  hardships,  the  early  settlers  endured. 
In  him  are  typified  the  Maltby  characteristics  of  strong  home  love, 
honesty  and  firm  religious  principle. 

The  is  the  second  golden  wedding  in  the  House  of  Maltby. 
In  1868  under  the  same  hospitable  roof  tree  that  sheltered  yester- 
day's event,  Mr.  Maltby's  father,  Deacon  Daniel  Maltby,  and  his 
wife,  Esther  Tapping,  gathered  about  them  a  company  of  ninety 
to  rejoice  with  them  in  attaining  the  fiftieth  milestone  in  their 
married  life.  Everyone  of  the  thirteen  children  were  present  and 
a  host  of  grandchildren.  Deacon  Maltby  was  one  of  the  earliest 
pioneers  of  the  Western  Reserve,  journeying  with  his  wife  to  Ohio 
in  an  ox  cart  in  1820,  from  Xew  York  State. 

The  occasion  of  his  son's  anniversary  yesterday  was  most  de- 
lightful in  every  way.  At  noon  bounteous  tables  were  spread  in  the 
orchard  of  the  old  homestead  for  the  large  company  of  sons,  daugh- 
ters, grandchildren  and  friends  and  neighbors  present.  Rev.  Collins 
of  the  Congregational  church  gave  the  invocation.  At  the  close 
of  the  feast,  the  toastmaster,  T.  J.  Osborne,  presided  over  a  short 
program.  Telegrams  and  letters  of  congratulation  from  those  un- 
able to  be  present  were  read.  Some  old  familiar  songs  were  sung. 
Toasts  were  responded  to  briefly  by  ^Ir.  H.  A.  P.eckett,  Airs.  Clark 
Throope  and  Dr.  ]\I.  C.  Scott,  pastor  of  the  M.  E.  church.  Rev. 
W.  E.  Rix  of  Wisconsin,  pronounced  the  benediction. 

In  the  evening  fifty  of  the  Saybrook  friends  and  neighbors 
surprised  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Maltby  by  walking  in  on  them  to  further 
congratulate  and  wish  them  many  happy  returns  of  the  day.  They 
brought  with  them  substantial  refreshments  which  were  served  later 
in  the  evening,  and  a  token  of  regard  in  a  gift  of  gold  pieces.  Rev. 
Collins  making  the  presentation  speech.  Mr.  Alaltby  in  a  voice 
broken  with  emotion,  responded. 

\  arious  gifts  in  gold  and  other  suitable  presents  had  been  re- 
ceived earlier  in  the  day. 

Of  the  sons  and  daughters  living  there  were  present  Air.  and 
Mrs.  T.  J.  Osborne  of  Berea,  Ky. ;  Mr.  and  Mrs.  H.  A.  P.eckett 
and  Mr.  and  Mrs.  L.  C.  Hinman  of  Lakewood,  Ohio,  and  Miss  Ruth 
Alaltby.  Other  out-of-town  guests  were:  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Clark 
Throope  of  .Ashtabula,  Rev.  and  Mrs.  W.  E.  Rix  of  Lake  Xebaga- 
mon.  Wis.,  Mrs.  Mary  P>eckett  of  Lakewood. 

Two  sons,  Albert  Maltby  of  Hastings,  Fla.,  and  P.enjamin 
Maltby  of  Long  Pteach,  Cal..  and  their  families  were  unable  to  be 
present.

SKETCH  OF  THE  LIFE  OF  ESTHER  TAPPING  MALTBY 

Samokov,   Bulgaria. 
Dear  Kindred  and  Friends : — 

I  received,  by  kindness  of  Mrs.  C.  S.  Verrill,  the  first  two 
numbers  of  the  Pvlahby  Booklet  and  found  them  very  interesting 
indeed. 

My  life  has  been  so  full  of  work  and  my  field  of  labor  so  far 
away  from  my  family  and  friends  that  I  have  had  little  time  and 
opportunity  to  cultivate  the  acquaintance  of  even  near  relatives. 

It  was  with  much  hesitancy  that  I  undertake,  at  the  request 
of  ]\Irs.  Verrill  and  my  cousin,  Miss  Martha  J.  Maltby  of  Colum- 
bus. Ohio,  to  write  a  sketch  of  my  life,  for  I  have  had  very  little 
chance  to  develop  the  little  literary  gift  I  have.  Still,  with  the  hope 
that  some  account  of  my  past,  on  the  great  battlefield  of  life,  may 
be  of  some  interest  to  those  of  kindred  blood,  I  send  this  manuscript. 

It  is  vacation  time  and  sitting  under  the  pines  at  this  beautiful 
wooded  mountain  resort.  I  have  written  this  review  of  a  very  busy 
life  of  service.  I  am  very  glad  I  have  had  the  privilege  of  laboring 
so  many  years  for  the  girls  of  this  young  and  progressive  country 
of  Bulgaria. 

Sincerelv  Yours  in  the  Ijonds  of  Kindred, 

Esther  Tappixg  ^vIaltbif;. 
August,  1910. 

A  LONG  LIFE  SPIXS  A  LONG  YARN 

In  a  large  farmhouse  in  Southington.  in  the  state  of  Ohio,  on 
the  last  day  of  April,  1836,  a  mother  looked  into  the  face  of  her 
eleventh  child  and  a  patriarchal  father  thanked  God  for  another 
little  girl  to  love  and  cherish.  The  mother  did  not  shrink  from  the 
added  burden  of  care  and  anxiety  when  with  almost  its  first  breath 
the  little  one  showed  signs  of  the  whooping-cough,  but  courage- 
ously nourished  the  feeble  life  that  many  times  seemed  to  have  taken 
flight  until  the  solicitous  father  saw  his  little  Esther,  the  mother's 
namesake,  a  happy,  joyous  child  upon  his  knee  at  morning  and 
evening  family  devotions. 

Childhood  glided  swiftly  by  amid  the  innocent  pleasures  of  a 
large  group  of  wide-awake  children  and  the  busy  scenes  of  farm- 
life.  A  lasting  impression  was  made  upon  Esther's  young  mind 
when  her  father  speaking  to  a  family  friend  of  her  baby  illness

that  so  many  times  threatened  the  Ufe  of  his  favorite,  turned  and 
laying  his  hand  upon  her  head,  as  she  stood  near  him,  said  solemnly, 
"My  dear  child.  God  has  not  spared  your  life  for  nothing.  He  has 
a  work  for  you  to  do." 

The  parents  resolved  to  give  their  large  family  of  children 
all  the  educational  advantages  in  their  power,  so  the  older  ones, 
besides  the  district  school,  were  sent  to  the  Academy  in  an  adjacent 
town.  Dissatisfied  with  the  superficial  teaching  of  the  ordinary 
district  school,  their  oldest  daughter  was  finally  installed  teacher 
of  the  young  children.  It  was  in  this  family  school  at  the  age  of 
ten  that  Esther's  mind  received  an  impetus  toward  higher  intellec- 
tual development  and  she  entered  with  great  zest  into  the  study 
of  mathematics  and  nature  study.  "Dick's  Works,"  of  which  two 
great  volumes  were  in  her  father's  small  library  awakened  much 
wonder  and  thought,  especially  his  theory  of  the  universe. 

Previously  she  had  settled  in  her  own  mind  her  doubts  in 
reference  to  the  existence  of  God  from  the  effects  produced 
by  the  invisible  powers  of  nature.  If  matter  could  be  invisible  why 
not  being  unembodied  ?  At  this  time  also  her  spiritual  nature  opened 
up  to  the  Light  of  Truth  and  she  began  to  realize  the  deep  mean- 
ing of  an  endless  life  and  turned  to  the  Saviour  of  the  world  for 
forgiveness  and  strength. 

Before  she  had  an  opportunity  to  go  away  from  home  to  school 
she  did  considerable  reading.  Hume's  History  of  England  was  read 
before  the  family  rose  in  the  morning:.  "Plutarch's  Lives"  inter- 
ested her  much  and  she  devoured  nearly  all  of  the  books  in  her 
father's  library. 

She  commenced  the  study  of  Greek  and  Latin  in  preparation 
for  college  under  a  French  professor  at  the  age  of  fifteen,  when 
going  away  to  school  for  the  first  time.  Her  class  consisted  of  two 
young  boys  and  herself.  She  will  alwa\s  be  grateful  for  the  fatherly 
interest  that  old  gentleman  took  in  his  class,  whom  he  addressed 
as,  "doctor,  lawyer  and  professor."  The  boys  fulfilled  his  predic- 
tion and  the  other  life  has  been  spent  in  teaching. 

When  Esther  consulted  her  father  in  reference  to  going  to 
college,  he  replied,  "If  my  daughter  wishes  to  live  for  herself  onlv. 
the  less  she  knows  the  better,  for  her  influence  will  be  less  for  evil ; 
but  if  she  desires  to  live  for  others,  to  help  others,  the  more  knowl- 
edge she  acquires  the  better,  for  'knowledge  is  power.'  "  After  six 
months  of  teaching  in  a  district  school  she  entered  the  preparatory 
department  of  Oberlin  Colleo-e.  Ohio,  and  commenced  the  hard 
struggle  to  obtain  an  education.     To  help  defray  her  expenses  she

taug'ht  in  the  long  vacations  and  graduated  with  four  other  girls 
from  the  Classical  Course  in  1862,  which  was  an  unpopular  thing 
to  do  for  at  that  time  it  was  thought  unnecessary  for  girls  to  study 
the  Classics.  During  all  the  years  of  preparation  an  inward  con- 
sciousness of  the  truth  of  her  father's  words  abode  with  her ;  whis- 
pering, "God  has  something  for  you  to  do,''  and  the  cry  of  the 
millions,  sitting  in  darkness,  for  light  echoed  and  re-echoed  within 
her  heart. 

During  the  Civil  War  she  was  a  missionary  of  the  American 
Missionary  Association  to  the  Freedmen  in  Virginia  and  afterwards 
taught  in  Wilberforce  University,  an  institution  for  colored  students, 
which  was  burned  down  on  the  evening  of  President  Lincoln's 
assassination,  April  14th,  1865.  After  this  she  taught  for  two  years 
near  her  own  home  and  lastly  in  Genesee.  Illinois  in  the  High 
School. 

Overcoming,  by  the  grace  of  God,  her  reluctance  to  leaving 
parents,  friends  and  home  she  made  her  second  application  to  the 
American  Board — the  first  was  rejected  because  there  was  no  money 
to  send  young  ladies  to  the  field.  She  met  the  secretary  of  the  A.  B. 
C.  F.  M.  in  Chicago  the  last  of  May  and  sailed  for  Bulgaria  in 
Turkey,  the  eighth  day  of  September,  1870.  Her  father  said,  when 
she  informed  him  of  her  purpose,  "We  hoped  you  would  be  the 
strong  stafif  upon  which  your  parents  might  lean  in  their  old  age ; 
but  we  gave  you  to  God  in  baptism  and  if  He  call  you.  go."  The 
mother  said,  "You  have  been  my  care  until  now ;  you  will  be  too 
far  away  for  my  help  to  reach  you.  I  give  you  up  to  God.  I  shall 
never  see  your  face  again  on  earth,  but  you  are  His."  Her  last 
words  when  she  bid  her  daughter  farewell  were,  "At  God's  call  go 
cheerfully."  The  daughter  remembered  how,  often  in  childhood  she 
had  heard  her  enjoin  cheerful  obedience  on  her  children,  for  said 
she,  "Obedience  that  is  not  cheerful  is  not  obedience." 

For  three  years  encouraging,  cheering  messages  came  to  the 
exiled  daughter  from  the  mother,  then  six  weeks  of  anxious  waiting, 
then  silence.  Her  last  message  was,  'T  am  going  Home,  tell  Etta, 
when  she  comes,  to  bring  many  sheaves  with  her." 

When  the  father  bade  his  little  daughter,  as  he  fondly  called 
her,  "Good  Bye,"  he  said,  "I  think  I  shall  see  you  again,"  and  after 
six  years  he  clasped  her  to  his  heart,  and  at  the  age  of  82,  he  made 
long  journeys  with  her  visiting  all  his  children  in  their  distant 
homes. 

It  was  a  bright  September  day  in  the  year  1870,  that  the  good 
steamship  sailed  out  of  New  York  harbor  with  twenty  missionaries 
on  board.     Fourteen  days  later  the  wide  ocean  had  separated  them

from  the  land  of  their  fathers.  A  live  hours"  railroad  ride  through 
"Eden"-like  England  brought  them  to  the  wonderfully  interesting 
old  city  of  London  and  a  week  amid  its  interesting  sights  and 
scenes  gave  zest  and  refreshment  to  the  weary  travellers.  Soon 
after  arriving  in  Constantinople  the  startling  news  came  to  the  new 
missionary  that  Miss  Norcross,  with  whom  she  was  to  be  asso- 
ciated, had  suddenly  sickened  and  died,  that  the  school  without  a 
head  was  waiting  for  her  to  fill  the  vacancy.  Words  fail  to  express 
the  disappointment  of  that  hour.  Good  Dr.  Riggs  and  Mrs.  Riggs 
by  their  sympathy  helped  and  encouraged  the  inexperienced  mis- 
sionary to  realize  that  the  "Strength"  of  her  life  would  not  fail  her. 

Mr.  Bond  came  from  Bulgaria  to  accompany  her  to  her  field 
of  labor.  At  that  time  Bulgaria  was  a  country  very  little  known 
and  her  subjected  people  almost  unheard  of.  Much  in  the  beauti- 
fully situated  city  of  Constantinople  seemed  strange  and  weird  but 
on  nearing  her  destination  everything  put  on  a  new  interest  for 
her. 

A  night  on  the  choppy  waves  of  the  Black  Sea  brought  the 
travelers  to  the  port  of  Borgas  in  Bulgaria.  A  rude  boat  received 
the  passengers  and  a  dangerous  climb  up  a  ladder  some  twenty 
or  thirty  feet  landed  them  on  a  platform  filled  with  queer  looking 
people,  in  dress  and  manner,  who  gazed  at  the  foreigners  as  though 
they  thought  them  arrivals  from  some  other  planet.  There  is  now 
a  fine  harbor  in  the  place  of  that  rude  landing. 

The  missionary  was  hastened  through  the  crowd  to  the  tehan, 
where  a  floorless  room  opened  to  them,  furnitureless,  except  for  a 
stool  and  a  straw  mat  in  a  corner.  The  curious  villagers  not  satis- 
fied with  their  inspection  of  the  stranger  on  the  street,  filled  the 
door  and  one  paneless  window  with  their  eager  faces.  The  first 
evening  amid  the  jargon  of  a  strange  language  and  an  almost  sleep- 
less night  upon  the  straw  matting  will  not  soon  be  efifaced  from  her 
memory.  The  morning  found  her  seated  in  a  springless,  seatless 
wagon  drawn  by  one  horse.  Mr.  Bond  rode  upon  his  own  horse 
and  after  a  long  day's  ride,  they  came  to  a  city  where  thev  were 
to  spend  the  night  and  there  she  met  a  mother  with  her  l)right- 
faced  daughter  who  had  been  in  the  mission  school  and  received 
from  them  a  cordial  welcome  in  an  unknown  tongue.  This  made 
the  stranger  feel  at  home  and  gave  her  a  very  favorable  impression 
of  the  down-trodden  and  oppressed  people  whom  she  had  come  to 
teach.  The  evening  of  the  third  day  they  reached  Eski  Zaghra,  the 
home  of  the  mission  school  at  that  time.  The  missionarv  carriage 
with  the  teachers  of  the  school  and  girls  on  foot  met  them  outside 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  355 

the  city  and  gave  the  new  teacher  a  very  cordial  welcome  and  a 
Thanksgiving  dinner  awaited  them  in  the  missionary  home — a  touch 
of  American  life  in  the  far  off  land. 

Before  she  was  aware  of  it,  Esther  became  fully  absorbed  in 
the  work  of  the  bereaved  school  and  gradually,  with  the  help  of 
Miss  Elenka  H.  Evonova,  the  Bulgarian  teacher,  who  had  acquired 
a  good  knowledge  of  English,  was  able  to  relieve  the  over- burdened 
missionaries  of  much  of  the  care  of  the  school. 

There  were  twenty-six  or  seven  Bulgarian  girls  gathered  in  Dr. 
Haskell's  house  and  the  accommodations  were  exceedingly  limited. 
The  missionary  teacher  and  the  famly  occupied  the  second  floor 
and  the  school-room  and  a  dormitory  were  on  the  first  small  out- 
buildings in  the  yard  served  for  dining-room  and  kitchen  while  the 
cook  and  remaining  girls  slept  in  the  dining  room  and  over  the 
horse  stable,  and  the  landlady  who  rented  them,  lived  over  the  street 
gate. 

Of  course  there  was  much  sickness  in  the  school  and  much 
of  the  new  missionary's  time  was  spent  in  the  care  of  the  sick. 
The  pupils  were  mostly  from  the  wealthiest  and  most  intelligent 
families  of  the  city.  Bright  and  eager  to  learn,  they  made  rapid 
progress.  It  was  the  first  gymnasium,  or  high  school,  for  girls  in 
Bulgaria  though  there  then  (in  1870)  were  some  for  boys.  The 
small  children  of  the  more  intelligent  citizens  were  gathered  in  the 
cloisters  of  the  churches  and  taught  to  read  and  write  and  a  little 
science  by  the  nuns  and  priests,  but  there  were  no  schools  for  young- 
girls  and  their  time  was  spent  in  preparation  for  married  life. 
Turkish  officials  of  the  city  were  present  during  the  examinations 
and  closing  exercises  of  the  school  and  expressed  much  surprise 
that  girls  could  learn  as  well  as  boys,  which  fact  was  clearly  shown 
by  their  examinations  and  compositions.  It  was  not  thought  need- 
ful for  girls  to  study  mathematics  and  science  as  they  were  unneces- 
sary for  housekeeping. 

The  city  of  Eskizagora  was  one  of  the  most  advanced  in  the 
country  in  civilization  and  intelligence,  but  it  was  not  long  before 
the  bigoted  and  fanatical  priests  raised  bitter  opposition  to  the  school 
and  incited  the  mob  to  stone  the  house,  breaking  windows  and  en- 
dangering life  so  that  the  missionaries  were  obliged  to  appeal  to 
the  Governor  for  protection.  Some  lovely  Christian  characters  were 
developed  during  the  first  few  years  of  this  school.  Six  months 
after  my  arrival,  the  school  was  removed  to  Samokov,  nearer  the 
center  of  the  missionary  field.  The  people  here  were  so  ignorant 
and  prejudicial  against  foreigners  that  not  a  Bulgarian  would  sell

a  house  to  the  missionaries  and  they  were  obhged  to  buy  of  tlie 
'J'urks  next  to  the  Bulgarian  quarter,  and  then  the  Bulgarian 
neighbor  sold  to  them  because  he  would  not  live  next  to  the  de- 
spised foreigner,  and  as  the  next  neighbor  was  of  the  same 
mind  it  was  possible  to  get  all  the  lots  the  Mission  required. 
An  addition  to  the  missionary  house  was  hastily  built  and  a  school- 
room and  temporary  meeting  house  for  the  first  Evangelical  church 
organized  here  in  our  field  of  missionary  endeavor.  Girls  from 
Macedonia  and  Bulgarian  villages  came  to  our  school  and  graduall\' 
the  numbers  increased  until  a  hundred  and  twenty  were  enrolled  in 
all  departments. 

The  school  has  passed  through  many  vicissitudes  and  encoun- 
tered many  difficulties  during  the  thirty-eight  years  I  have  had  the 
charge  of  it.  Marvelous  changes  have  taken  place  in  this  country 
during  the  short  period  of  freedom  from  the  Turkish  yoke  and 
now  it  has  taken  its  place  among  the  governments  that  must  be 
reckoned  with,  even  by  the  great  powers  of  Europe. 

In  place  of  the  simple  customs  of  Turkish  times  the  cities,  and 
some  of  the  villages,  have  introduced  European  manners  and  dress 
and  many  of  the  modern  improvements,  steam  and  electric  roads, 
automobiles,  paved  streets,  modern  hotels  and  many  of  the  con- 
veniences of  modern  life  are  to  be  found  here.  This  school  has  had 
its  share  in  the  development  of  the  nation. 

The  hundred  and  thirty-five  or  forty  girls  who  have  graduated 
from  the  school  have  had  a  wide  influence  as  wives  of  prominent 
leading  men.  Those  educated  here  are  found  in  all  grades  of  societv 
and  are  leaders  wherever  found.  Without  doubt  the  thousand  or 
more  girls  who  have  come  under  the  influence  of  this  school  have, 
during  this  formative  period  of  Bulgarian  history,  exerted  a  health- 
ful influence,  moral  and  religious. 

A  retrospect  of  the  forty  years  spent  in  this  land  endowed  with 
so  much  of  natural  beauty  and  occupied  bv  a  progressive  people, 
brings  to  mind  experiences  of  intense  interest.  The  friendships 
formed  here  are  of  no  ordinary  type.  Miss  Maltbie  will  always  be 
thankful  that  she  was  called  to  be  a  missionary  teacher  of  the 
Gospel  of  Christ  in  this  land  of  promise. 

Note.— "In  1908,  the  cares  of  the  head  of  the  'School  for  Girls'  (for  tliis 
1^^  the  name  by  which  the  school  has  been  known  since  its  removal  to 
Samokov)  was  resigned  l)y  Miss  Maltbie  but  she  has  retained  a  position  as 
teacher  in  the  school." -Martha  J.   Maltbv. 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— ^lALTBlE  357 

A  few  weeks  ago  the  secretary  receive  a  letter  from  Aliss 
Esther  T.  ]\laltbie  and  it  seems  to  us  fitting  that  a  few  extracts 
should  be  given  to  the  Alaltby  cousins.  Aliss  Maltbie  writes  upon 
her  return  from  a  couple  of  tours :  "Living  has  become  very  much 
more  expensive,  taxes  exhorbitant  and  productiveness  not  increased 
to  a  great  extent  so  there  is  much  suffering  and  need. 

The  "Holy  Synod"  is  trying  to  get  a  law  passed  in  the  .Va- 
tional  Assembly  to  crush  out  Protestantism.  One  of  the  Articles  is, 
that  there  can  be  no  Evangelical  service  in  any  place  where  there 
are  not  seventy-five  Protestant  families  and  all  the  rest  of  the  law 
in  the  same  spirit. 

We  have  a  very  full  school  and  greatly  need  a  new  building. 
We  have  112  pupils  beside  the  kindergarten  and  we  have  not  suit- 
able accommodations  for  half  that  number — 62  are  boarders  and 
the  rest  are  day  scholars.  W^ill  not  some  of  my  relatives  interest 
themselves  in  this  good  work  and  help  us  to  stand  firml}-  against 
this  spirit  of  persecution.  ...  I  hope  we  shall  soon  see  another 
of  the  ]\Ialtby  Booklets  for  they  are  very  interesting.  I  am  sur- 
prised that  the  money  needed  is  not  forthcoming.  The  next  time 
I  write  I  will  send  the  membership  money."  etc. 

Samokov,  December  7th,  1910. 

To  those  of  us  who  are  interested  in  foreign  missions,  we  would 
call  attention  to  Miss  ]\Ialtby's  request  for  aid.  If  one  would  know 
that  one's  contribution  to  such  work  went  where  it  was  greatly 
needed,  here  is  an  opportunity  to  help  such  a  cause  directly  and  to 
have  the  satisfaction  of  knowing  just  how  the  donation  was  spent. 

Miss  Maltbie's  work  has  not  been  unknown  or  unappreciated, 
as  the  following  incidents  show.  Miss  ]\Iartha  J.  ]\Ialtby  writes : 
"This  cousin,  Esther,  is  a  modest,  self-retiring  soul  and  her  life 
has  been  spent  for  others.  I  wish  I  could  write  how  great  her  in- 
fiuence  has  been  through  this  school  for  girls  in  Bulgaria,  but  I  am 
not  equal  to  the  task.  There  has  been  no  'trumpet  blowing"  about 
her  work  but  it  shows  in  the  lives  of  her  pupils. 

"At  the  Columbian  Exposition  in  Chicago,  in  1893.  I  met  the 
Bulgarian  who  had  charge  of  the  exhibit  of  that  country  there  and 
T  gave  him  my  card,  saying,  'I've  a  cousin  in  your  country.'  Imme- 
diately he  said.  ']\Iiss  Esther  Maltbie'  I  know  her.  ^\y  wife  was 
one  of  her  pupils.'  Later  he  said.  'Aliss  ]\Ialtbie  is  known  all  over 
Bulgaria.'  " 

Another  letter,  received  last  winter  from  John  Maltbv  Conk- 
ling,  has  the  following  item :  "Last  evening  I  listened  to  Miss  Ellen 
]M.  Stone  tell  her  experiences  witli  the  Turkish  bandits.     She  was 


358  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

an  associate  with  Aunt  Esther  for  a  period  in  Samokov,  Bulgaria, 
and  in  her  lecture  paid  Aunt  Esther  a  high  tribute." 

Something  in  the  way  of  a  little  sketch  of  the  ancestry  of 
Miss  Esther  Maltbie  will  be  interesting  to  the  cousins,  we  believe, 
and  consequently  give  the  following  condensed  notes : 

Esther  Tapping  Maltbie  is  the  daughter  of  Daniel  ( 5 )  and 
Esther  Tapping  Maltbie.  Daniel  Maltbie  went  to  Ohio  in  18 19  with 
his  father,  Benjamin  (4)  Maltby  (Rev.  War).  Benjamin  (4'! 
Maltbie  was  born  May  11,  1750,  in  Northford,  Connecticut,  and 
married  Abigail  Munger.  (Her  ancestry  was  published  in  our 
fourth  annual  report).  He  was  the  son  of  Daniel  (3)  and  ]\Iary 
Harrison   Maltby,   the  grandson  of  Daniel    (2)    and   Esther   Moss 

Maltby  and  great-grandson  of  William  ( i )  and Maltby,  the 

emigrant  ancestor. 

As  a  large  number  of  our  members  descend  from  Daniel  (3) 
and  Mary  Harrison  Maltby,  we  are  printing  her  ancestry  for  their 
benefit. 

Mary  Harrison  was  the  daughter  of  Xathaniel  and  Thankful 
Wilkinson  Harrison,  granddaughter  of  Captain  Nathaniel  and 
Hannah  Frisbie  Harrison;  great-granddaughter  of  Thomas  Harri- 
son and  his  first  wife,  widow  Ellen  Thompson  (widow  of  John 
Thompson).  Her  great,  great-grandfather  was  Richard  Harrison 
of  West  Kirby,  Cheshire,  England.  He  took  the  oath  of  alleo:iance 
in  New  Haven,  August  5,  1644.  He  removed  to  Branford  and 
died  there  October  25,  1653. 

The  Tapping  ancestry  we  give  also : — 

Esther  Tapping  (or  Topping  as  the  name  originally  appears) 
was  the  daughter  of  Silas  and  Mary  Gilbert  Topping ;  and  grand- 
daughter of  Elnathan  Topping ;  great-granddaughter  of  Captain 
Stephen  and  second  wife,  Elizabeth  (widow  Matthews  of  East 
Hampton)  Topping;  great,  great-granddaughter  of  Captain  El- 
nathan and  Mary  •  Topping  and  great,  great,  great-grand- 
daughter of  Captain  Thomas  Topping  of  Wethersfield,  later  of 
Milford,  Connecticut.     His  wife  was  Emma . 

The  following  Colonial  record  will  be  of  interest  to  this  branch 
of  the  family:  "1673,  May  i6th.  The  court  accepts  of  the  list  of 
Troopers  presented  by  Captain  John  Nash,  and  Captayn  Thomas 
Toppino-  for  New  Haven  County  and  doe  confirm  Captayn  Topping 
to  be  Captavne  and  Mr.  William  Maltby  to  be  Cornet  of  the  sayd 
Troope."  (Colonial  Records  of  Connecticut,  1665  to  1667,  p.  199 
M.S.S.;  Vol.  II..  p.  199,  Printed  Records.) 

In  a  letter  dated  August  i,  191 5,  Miss  ^lartha  J.  Maltby  in- 
forms me  that  owing  to  ill  health  Miss  Esther  T.  Maltbie  returned 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  359 

to  the  States  and  is  now  living  with  her  nephew,  Mr.  John  Maltby 
ConkHn.  Miss  Maltby  adds :  "I  have  such  an  interesting  account 
of  the  parting  reception  given  her  in  Sophia,  Bulgaria,  when  she 
left  that  country  in  1912  which  should  go  with  her  biography." 


DEACON  WILLIAM  MALTBY 

Deacon  William  Maltby  of  Northford,  Conn.,  was  the  first 
child  of  Henry  and  Ruth  Hart  Maltby,  and  was  born  March  19, 
1825.  He  married  Esther  Hall,  daughter  of  Dr.  Pierce  and  Esther 
(Hall)  Hall  of  Wallingford. 

We  give  a  short  extract  from  a  sketch  of  Mr.  Maltby's  life, 
which  appeared  in  a  local  newspaper  at  the  time  of  his  death : 

"In  the  death  of  Deacon  William  Maltby  the  town  loses  one 
of  its  oldest  and  best  citizens.  In  his  younger  days  he  was  a 
school  teacher  and  taught  school  in  Wallingford  and  other  towns. 
Later,  he  settled  on  the  farm.  He  represented  his  town  in  the  state 
legislature  in  1881.  He  was  a  member  of  the  school  board  for 
thirty-five  years,  and  for  over  forty  years  was  a  deacon  in  the  Con- 
gregational Church." 

Deacon  Maltby  died  xMay  31,  1908,  aged  83  years.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  Maltby  Association.  He  descended  from  Henry  (5), 
James  (4),  Samuel  (3),  Samuel  (2),  William  (i). 

MR.  GEORGE  ERASTUS  MALTBY 

Mr.  George  E.  Maltby  was  the  first  President  of  the  Maltby 
Association,  of  which  he  was  president  when  his  death  occurred 
July  31,  1909,  at  the  age  of  78  years. 

He  was  the  second  child  of  Lucius  and  Sarah  J.  (Parks)  Maltby 
and  was  born  February  i8th,  1830.  in  Fair  Haven  (now  a  part 
of  New  Haven)  Connecticut.  As  a  boy.  Mr.  Maltby  lived  at  home, 
going  to  school  and  helping  his  father  with  the  farm.  Later  he 
became  clerk  in  Dr.  Parker's  drug  store,  being  at  the  time  eighteen 
years  of  age. 

Three  years  later  Mr.  Maltby  went  into  the  dru<;-  l)usiness  for 
himself.  In  May,  1852.  he  married  Elizabeth  Broughton  Maguire. 
Thev  had  two  children,  Edward  Parks,  and  Mary  Louise  Maltby. 
Shortly  after  the  above  children  were  born,  the  war  broke  out  and 
Mr.  Maltby  disposed  of  his  drug  business  and  went  South  where 
for  sometime   he   supplied    General   Grant's   army   with   provisions.

Mr.  Maltby  established  an  oyster  business  in  Norfolk,  Virginia, 
and  was  the  first  to  ship  opened  oysters  in  bulk  to  New  York,  for 
a  long  time  averaging  five  hundred  gallons  a  day. 

In  1864,  Mr.  3,Ialtby  lost  his  wife  and  for  seven  years  was  .1 
widower.  In  1871,  he  married  Ruth  Atwater  Bostwick,  and  to 
them  were  born  Margaret  Atwater,  George  Erastus  and  Lucius 
Upson  Maltby. 

In  1878,  Mr.  Maltby  and  his  family  left  A'irginia  and  went  to 
New  York  to  live,  where  the  northern  branch  of  the  oyster  business 
was  supervised  by  him.  Mrs.  Maltby  died  in  May,  i8g8.  and  soon 
after  Mr.  Maltby  gave  up  active  business  and  divided  his  time  be- 
tween his  older  daughter,  Mrs.  Frederick  S.  Smith  of  Chester, 
Conn,  and  his  younger  daughter,  Mrs.  William  M.  Bernard  of  New 
York  City,  at  whose  residence  he  died,  in  Ardsley,  N.  Y.  The 
interment  was  at  Trinity  Cemetery.  New  York. 

It  will  be  a  pleasure  to  the  members  of  the  Maltby  Associa- 
tion to  know  that  Mr.  Maltby  was  very  proud  of  his  office  as  our 
President,  and  at  times  during  his  last  illness  his  near  relatives 
called  him  "President,"  which  seemed  to  please  him.  ^lany  of  us 
never  had  the  pleasure  of  knowing  Mr.  Alaltby  personally,  but  it 
is  a  source  of  gratitude  that  we  have  his  photograph  and  the  fine 
character  which  was  his  cannot  fail  to  endear  his  memory  to  us. 
one  and  all.  Mr.  Maltby's  descent  was  Lucius  (5L  Rev.  Jonathon 
(4),  Benjamin   (3),  Daniel   (2),  William   (i). 


REV.  CLARK  ORLANDO  MALTBY 

Mr.  Maltby  was  born  at  South  Rutland,  Xew  York,  July  19th, 
1836.     He  is  a  son  of  Rev.  Sherman  and  ]\Iaria  Thomas  Maltby. 

In  June,  1857,  he  graduted  from  the  State  Normal  School  at 
Albany,  New  York.  After  graduation  Mr.  Maltby  taught  for  one 
year  in  the  Collegiate  and  Polytechnic  Institute  at  Brooklyn,  New 
York.  In  September,  1859,  he  married  ]\Iiss  Fannie  E.  Clark  and 
settled  in  business  at  Watertown,  New  York.  He  remained  there 
for  fifteen  years,  active  in  church  work  and  served  as  Deacon,  Clerk, 
Chorister  and  Treasurer.  He  also  was  interested  in  the  Sunday 
school  in  which  he  taught  and  served  as  superintendent. 

At  length,  in  the  winter  of  1872,  he  gave  expression  to  a  long 
felt  desire  to  enter  the  ministry  and  the  following  year  began  a 
three  years'  course  of  study  in  the  Rochester  Theological  Seminary. 
After  his  graduation  in  1877,  '""^  assumed  the  duties  of  the  pastor-

ate  of  the  Baptist  Church  at  Madison,  Wisconsin,  in  response  to  a 
call  which  had  been  previously  extended  to  him. 

In  1881,  he  made  a  tour  of  Europe,  visiting  many  important 
cities  and  places  of  interest.  His  relations  with  the  church  at  Madi- 
son were  very  harmonious  and  when  in  1883,  he  offered  his  resig- 
nation ,it  was  not  accepted,  instead,  the  church  offered  to  give  him 
a  year's  leave  of  absence,  but  the  substitute  was  not  accepted  by 
him. 

After  spending  a  few  months  in  California,  he  returned  to  the 
vicinity  of  Chicago,  and  afterward  settled  in  Philadelphia,  where 
during  a  successful  pastorate,  a  new  house  of  worship  was  erected. 

His  next  charge  was  at  Paterson,  New  Jersey,  where  after 
seven  years  of  service,  a  church  building  was  completed  and  dedi- 
cated. His  last  pastorate  was  at  Newtown.  Pennsylvania,  where 
also  a  church  building  was  erected. 

His  aim  has  always  been  to  build  up,  not  to  pull  down,  conse- 
quently he  has  many  friends  in  the  churches  where  he  has  served. 

Mr.  Maltby  has  written  a  number  of  songs  which  have  been 
appreciated  by  his  friends. 

Now,  though  no  longer  able  to  serve  as  pastor,  he  finds  con- 
genial employment  in  visiting  the  sick  of  the  city  hospital  and  in 
doing  good  as  he  has  opportunity ;  and  with  the  companion  of  his 
youth  still  spared  to  him,  he  looks  back  over  the  years  that  have 
fled  and  rejoices  that  his  labors  have  not  been  in  vain. 


SETH  WALDO  MALTBIE 

Seth  Waldo  Maltbie,  the  youngest  of  thirteen  children  of 
Deacon  Daniel  and  Esther  (Tappin)  Maltbie,  was  born  May  19th, 
1840,  Southington,  Trumbull  County,  Ohio.  After  attending  the 
public  schools  he  attended  school  in  the  preparatory  department  of 
Oberlin  College  in  1858.  and  entered  that  college  in  i860.  At  the 
outbreak  of  the  war  he  enlisted  and  was  enrolled  in  the  second 
company  organized  among  the  students  of  the  college.  The  quota 
being  more  than  full,  his  company  was  disbanded  and  he  continued 
his  studies  through  the  college  year  when  he  entered  the  army  as 
private  in  Co.  D.,  87th  Regiment,  Ohio  Au^lunteer  Infantry.  He 
was  appointed  corporal  and  then  sergeant  in  his  company  and  the 
following  vear  he  was  commissioned  captain  of  Co.  E..  4th  Regt.

moved  to  Tama  County,  Iowa,  and  engaged  in  the  insurance  busi- 
ness and  taught  a  few  terms  in  the  public  schools.  Being  informed 
in  mining  engineering  he  was  sent  to  the  mountains  and  employed 
by  various  mining  companies  and  worked  in  Montana,  Wyoming, 
Utah,  California  and  New  Mexico.  For  the  past  eight  years  he 
has  been  engaged  in  mining  as  local  manager,  where  he  and  his 
wife  still  reside. 

He  was  married  in  1867,  to  Rizpah  Stetson  Boltwood  of  Am- 
herst, Mass.  They  have  had  five  children,  Ralph  Waldo.  Edith

died  in  infancy. 

The  fifth,  Edith  Brayton.  born  at  Genesee,  111..  Oct.  15th. 
1871.  In  her  early  childhood  she  was  remarkable  for  early  develop- 
ment of  mental  and  moral  qualities  and  showed  wonderful  talent  in 
public  elocutionary  ability  and  while  in  the  primary  department  on

MR.  GEORGE  W.  ^lALTBY 

Mr.  George  W.  Maltby  was  one  of  the  original  members  of 
the  ]\Ialtby  Association,  and  his  check  for  annual  dues  for  ten  mem- 
bers of  his  family  was  the  first  ray  of  light  to  encourage  the  little 
embryo  into  being.  When  Mr.  Maltby  died  on  July  ist,  1908,  we 
lost  one  of  our  strongest  supporters. 

The  following  obituary  is  taken  from  the  "Buffalo  Evening 
News"  of  July  i,  1908: 

Business  Man  of  Nationai.  Fame;  Passes  Away 

George  W.  Maltby  died  this  morning  at  his  home  in  this  city. 
"He  was  one  of  the  old  type  of  businessmen,  with  whom  if  you 
had  a  contract,  you  wouldn't  need  to  put  it  in  writing,"  was  the  re- 
mark evoked  from  a  prominent  business  man  by  the  announcement 
of  the  death  of  George  W.  [Nlaltby  at  his  home  at  3  130  o'clock  this 
morning.  Among  the  tributes  to  his  memory  by  legions  of  friends, 
no  encomium  will  ring  truer  than  this.  But  it  is  conceded  by  all 
who  knew  him  that  business  honesty  was  only  an  incidental  char- 
acteristic and  one  that  was  regarded  as  a  matter  of  course  by  ]\Ir. 
Maltby.  That  was  the  rough  stone  of  his  character — "Square-hewn 
and  polished  for  a  grand  and  sterling  character.    ..." 

^Tr.  Maltby  was  born  in  West  Henrietta,  Monroe  County, 
N.  Y.,  in  1845.  When  not  seventeen  he  enlisted  as  a  private  in 
Company  H  of  the  io8th  New  York  Volunteer  Infantry  and  served 
with  Gen.  Winfield  Scott  at  Antietam.  Gettysburg  and  Spottsylvania 
Court  House 

He  was  all  day  on  the  battlefield  of  Antietam,  "the  bloodiest 
day  of  the  whole  war,"  and  though  wounded  he  stuck  to  his  regi- 
ment. At  Gettysburg  he  was  hit  by  splinters  of  a  shell,  and  in 
the  death  carnival  at  Spottsylvania,  his  left  hand  was  so  shattered 
by  a  bullet  he  could  no  longer  carry  a  musket.  This  injury  dis- 
abled him  from  active  service  and  he  was  confined  in  the  Satterlee 
Military  Hospital  at  Philadelphia  until  his  discharge  in  November, 
1864.     For  months  he  ministered  with  his  one  hand  to  his  sick  and 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY-.MALTBIE  365 

dying  comrades  in  the  long  wards  of  Satterlee  Hospital,  finally- 
becoming  head  nurse. 

Returning  from  the  army,  19  years  old  at  this  time,  Air.  Alaltby 
decided  to  continue  his  studies,  and  took  a  course  in  a  business 
college  at  Rochester.  In  1865  he  entered  the  firm  of  Whitmore, 
Carson  &  Co.,  Rochester,  dealers  in  cut  stone.  In  1880  Mr.  Alaltbv 
came  to  Buffalo,  entering  partnership  with  Gilbert  Brady  of 
Rochester,  under  the  name  of  Brady  and  jMaltby.  The  partnership 
was  continued  until  the  death  of  Mr.  Brady  in  1896.  Mr.  Maltby 
was  in  business  alone  until  1904.  when  he  took  his  two  sons,  James 
C.  and  William  Maltby,  into  partnership,  under  the  name  of  George 
W.  Maltby  and  Sons. 

Alemorials  of  Air.  Alaltby's  life  work  exist  in  monuments  of 
cut  stone  all  over  tlie  country.  He  furnished  and  dressed  the  stone 
for  the  AicKinley  Monument  in  Niagara  Square,  also  for  the 
AIcKinley  National  Alemorial  at  Canton,  including  the  interior  work 
and  sarcophagus ;  the  Historical  Society's  Building ;  the  Albright 
Art  Gallery ;  the  bridge  over  Park  Lake,  Gate's  Circle ;  the  entrance 
of  Forest  Lawn,  the  First  Presbyterian  Church,  the  new  addition 
to  the  Buffalo  Club  and  the  Ontario  Power  Company's  building  at 
Niagara  Falls. 

Mr.  Maltby  was  a  member  of  Bidwell-Wilkeson  Post.  G.  A.  R., 
the  LTnion  A'eteran  League,  and  Queen  City  Lodge.  F.  &  A.  A[. 
He  was  a  trustee  of  the  Blocher  Home,  former  president  of  tlie 
Builders'  Exchange  and  a  member  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce. 
He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Plymouth  M.  E.  Church. 

On  Aug.  2'],  1865,  Air.  Alaltby  married  Aliss  Alary  J.  Pierce, 
daughter  of  Caleb  Pierce  of  Rochester.  His  widow,  a  daughter. 
Airs.  D.  J.  Perry,  and  two  sons,  James  C.  and  William  C.  Alaltby, 
survive  him.

Mr.  Albert  E.  Alaltby  descends  from  John  (7),  Timothy   (6),

GEORGE  ELLSWORTH   MALTBY. 

George  (7)  Ellsworth  Maltby,  Esquire,  was  born  in  Xew 
Haven,  Connecticut,  February  ninth,  eighteen  fifty-two.  He  was 
the  fourth  child  of  George  (6)  Williams  and  Sarah  Bogert  Maltby. 

Those  who  knew  him  in  childhood  speak  of  him  as  "a  beautiful 
child" — not  only  in  looks  but  in  character.  The  beautiful  character 
of  his  childhood  developed  and  strengthened  with  youth  and  man- 
hood, and  all  who  ever  came  in  contact  with  him,  either  in  business 
or  socially,  must  have  been  impressed  by  his  upright,  honorable 
life.  When  Right  was  on  his  side  he  was  absolutely  fearless  and 
determined  to  stand  firm,  no  matter  what  the  consequences  or  what 
the  powers  used  against  him. 

He  had  many  friends  among  the  poor — for  his  charity  was  not 
the  sort  accompanied  by  loud  proclamation,  but  done  quietly  and 
out  of  the  sympathy  he  had  for  those  less  fortunate  than  himself. 

His  education  was  obtained  at  the  Public  and  High  schools, 
and  his  standing  was  always  high. 

His  father  offered  him  the  opportunity  to  enter  Yale  L^niversity, 
but  he  decided  for  a  business  career  and  he  very  shortly  entered 
the  employ  of  H.  W.  Benedict  and  Company,  coal  dealers,  with 
whom  he  remained  until  he  was  about  seventeen  years  of  age. 
About  this  time  Mr.  Benedict's  son,  Mr.  H.  H.  Benedict,  and  Mr. 
Frank  W.  Pardee  formed  a  partnership  to  handle  coal  entirely  by 
wholesale  and  Mr.  Maltby  was  asked  to  enter  their  office.  This 
firm  was  very  successful  and  soon  became  one  of  the  leading 
wholesale  coal  establishments  in  New  England. 

Mr.  Maltby's  advancement  was  rapid  and  while  still  twenty-one 
years  of  age  he  was  taken  into  partnership  and  the  firm  name 
changed  to  Benedict,  Pardee  and  Company. 

Flis  business  ability  was  of  the  best,  and  to  those  who  knew 
him,  knew  the  large  things  accomplished  by  him.  and  his  success, 
any  words  of  the  writer  would  be  superfluous. 


MALTBY— FAAIILY  HISTORY— AIALTBIE  367 

At  the  age  of  twenty  Air.  Alaltby  married  Miss  Georgia  Lord 
Morehouse,  youngest  daughter  of  Louis  Peck  and  Harriett  Broivn 
Morehouse,  of  New  Haven,  Connecticut.  Miss  Morehouse  was 
just  eighteen  at  the  time  of  their  marriage.  They  were  scarcely 
more  than  children,  but  it  proved  to  be  one  of  those  fortunate 
marriages  which  one  sees  once  in  a  lifetime. 

Mr.Maltby  used  frequently  to  tell  his  children  that  all  that 
he  was  he  owed  to  his  wife — to  her  courage,  love,  devotion  and 
helpfulness. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Maltby  had  two  children,  Alaude  Townshend, 
and  Dorothy  Lord,  Maltby. 

Mr.  Maltby  was  a  strong  supporter  of  the  Calvary  Baptist 
Church  of  New  Haven  and  for  years  was  chairman  of  the  music 
committee,  and  during  his  office  this  church  had  the  finest  choir 
in  the  state.  Mr.  Maltby  contributed  liberally  toward  the  maintain- 
ing of  this  choir.  He  was  intensely  fond  of  music  and  had  a  fine 
natural  baritone  voice. 

Mrs.  Maltby 's  voice  was  far  above  the  ordinary  singer's — with 
remarkable  range  and  sweetness,  and  showed  thorough  cultivation 
and  training. 

Many  of  the  Maltbys  were  musical  and  we  know  that  Mr. 
Alaltby's  great  grandfather,  Col.  Stephen  (4)  Maltby,  had  been 
quite  prominent  in  a  musical  way. 

In  appearance  Air.  Maltby  was  a  typical  Maltby,  with  dark 
brown  hair,  large  brown  eyes,  set  well  apart  and  rather  deep,  heavy 
eyebrows,  a  firm  mouth,  with  light  brown  moustache  and  a  Maltby 
dimple  in  his  chin.  His  height  was  five  feet  ten,  and  he  was  quite 
muscular,  though  taking  little  exercise. 

He  had  a  great  love  for  athletics  and  was  fond  of  keeping- 
good  driving  horses. 

He  was  social  and  genial,  and  a  member  of  several  clubs — the 
Ouinnipiac,  the  Republican  League,  and  the  Ansantawae;  and  also 
a  member  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce.  In  politics  he  was  a 
Republican,  and  had  earnest  convictions  on  such  subjects. 

Mr.  Maltby  had  a  strong  feeling  of  reverence  for  his  ancestors 
and  of  kinship  for  his  relations. 

In  the  last  year  of  his  life  he  used  frequently  to  remark,  "I 
should  like  to  meet  every  one  of  my  relatives  and  shake  each  one 
bv  the  hand." 

Shortly  before  his  death  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Maltby  spent  much 
time  and  large  sums  of  money  tracing  the  Maltby  Genealogy.  Mrs. 
Maltby  did  the  compiling  and  arranging  of  the  material,  and  to- 
gether they  travelled  to  old  burying  grounds,  court  houses,  churches, 


368  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

etc.,  gathering  the  invakiable  data,  part  of  which  is  contained  in 
the  Maltby-Morehouse  Family  printed  at  Mr.  Maltby's  expense 
and  which  he  intended  to  give  away.  Mr.  Maltby  also  was  em- 
ploying an  English  genealogist  to  work  upon  the  connection  with 
cur  English  family.  All  this  great  work  was  cnt  short  by  his 
sudden  death. 

The  best  blood  of  New  England  flowed  in  his  veins — no  better 
stock  than  that  from  which  he  came  existed.  The  following  are 
a  few  of  the  men  from  whom  he  descended  on  the  paternal  side 
of  the  family : 

Deputy  Governor  George  Bartlett,  of  Connecticut. 

Governor  William  Brenton,  of  Rhode  Island. 

Rev.  John  Davenport,  founder  of  New  Haven. 

Rev.  John  Eliot,  "Apostle  to  the  Indians." 

Rev.  Joseph  Eliot,  Guilford.  Conn. 

Hon.  Major  Nathan  Gold. 

Hon.  John  Hall. 

Rev.  Samuel  Hall,  Patriot. 

Governor  Jonathan  Law,  of  Connecticut, 

Rev.  John  Lowthrop,  Scituate,  Mass. 

Rev.  Richard  Mather. 

Rev.  Eleazer  Mather. 

Rev.  Abraham  Pierson. 

Elder  John  Strono-. 

Thomas  Townshend,  Esq. 

Rev.  John  Williams,  the  Redeemed  Captive. 

Rev.   Stephen  Williams,   the  Redeemed   Captive. 

Rev.   Warham   V/illiams. 

On  the  maternal  side  ^Ir.  ^Maltby's  ancestry  was  entirely  Dutch 
and  French  Huguenot.  He  was  eligible  to  practically  all  the  patri- 
otic societies,  and  in  response  to  an  invitation  to  join  the  Colonial 
Wars  his  papers  had  been  made  out  and  were  to  be  handed  in 
the  day  he  died. 

]\ir.  Maltby  had.  always  been  strou'^^-  and  vigorous,  but  while 
on  a  pleasure  trip  to  Annapolis,  Maryland,  where  he  had  gone 
accompanied  by  his  family  to  attend  some  of  the  festivities  at  the 
Naval  Academy,  he  was  taken  with  a  supposedly  slight  attack  of 
influenza.  After  a  couple  of  days  in  bed  he  was  sufficiently  re- 
covered to  go  on  to  Washington,  D.  C,  where  it  was  planned  to 
spend  a  few  days  before  returning  to  New  Haven.  There,  after  a 
pleasant  evening  spent  with  his  family  and  friends  he  was  stricken 
with  heart  failure  and  died  almost  instantlv. 


MALTBY— FAxMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  369 

His  death  occurred  January  28th,  1895,  at  the  ArHngton  Hotel, 
Washington,  D.  C,  when  he  was  but  forty-two  years  of  age. 

Mr.  Alahby  was  a  32nd  degree  Alason,  belonging  to  the  New 
Haven  Commandery,  No.  2.  K.  T.,  New  Haven,  Conn.;  to  Pyramid 
Temple,  A.  A.  A.  N.  AI.  S..  Bridgeport,  Conn.,  and  La  Fayette 
Sov.  Consistory,  S.  P.  R.  S.,  Bridgeport,  Conn. 

The  above  sketch  of  a  useful  and  beautiful  life  is  written  in 
loving  memory  by  his  daughter,  Dorothv  Maltbv  \>rrill. 


DR.    MALTBIE    DAVENPORT    BABCOCK. 

Rev.  Maltbie  Davenport  Babcock.  D.  D.,  was  born  at  Syracuse, 
N.  Y..  August  3d,  1858.  He  was  the  eldest  son  of  Henry  Babcock 
and  Emily  Maria  Alaltbie.  Her  father  was  the  Rev.  Ebenezer 
Davenport  Maltbie,  son  of  David  Maltbie  and  his  wife  Nancy 
Davenport  of  Stamford,  Conn.,  who  was  the  lineal  descendant  of 
Rev.  John  Davenport  of  New  Haven,  Conn.  Emily  Maria  Maltbie's 
mother  was  Mary  Ann  Davis,  daughter  of  Rev.  Henry  Davis,  D.  D., 
and  Hannah  Phoenix  Tredwell. 

There  were  many  generations  of  the  most  prominent,  refined 
and  cultivated  men  and  women  behind  Dr.  Babcock  and  he  went 
forth  to  his  life  work  from  an  ideal  home.  His  maternal  great 
grandfather  and  his  grandfather  were  both  Presbyterian  clergymen. 
He  was  the  eldest  of  seven  children,  and  his  mother's  widespread 
religious  influence,  and  her  beautiful  life  still  speak  in  many  of 
the  influential  circles  of  his  native  city.  Here  he  was  educated, 
taking  his  classical  course  at  Syracuse  L^niversity,  and  his  theo- 
logical course  at  Auburn  Seminary.  In  both  of  these  institutions 
he  won  highest  honors  and  hosts  of  friends. 

Dr.  Babcock  received  immediate  recognition  in  the  front  rank 
of  his  denomination,  his  first  settlement  being  at  Lockport,  N.  Y. 
It  was  not  only  his  brilliant  intellect  and  his  stirring  oratorical 
powers  that  commanded  admiration,  for  his  ministry  was  ideal  and 
no  pastor  in  the  land  was  more  beloved.  The  man  was  everywhere 
regarded  as  a  personal  friend,  so  cordial,  so  frank,  so  cheerful  was 
he  always  and  so  thoroughly  unselfish.  His  influence  became  in 
the  best  sense  national.  His  theology  was  like  his  vocal  delivery, 
simple  and  direct.  It  was  one  soul  speaking  to  another.  His 
prayers  voiced  the  cry  of  a  man  who  wanted  help  from  his  Father. 

Dr.  Babcock  could  not  do  anything  just  as  anyone  else  would. 
'•To  divide  burdens  and  centralize  responsibility  is  the  ark  of  ac- 
complishment."    This  was  his  rule  in  doing  his  varied  work,  and 


370  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

it  gave  him  his  ahiiost  supreme  executive  abihty.  Perhaps  there 
was  no  greater  tribute  to  his  power  and  consecration  than  the  fact 
that  he  was  invariably  turned  to,  as  a  sort  of  last  resort  in  the 
attempt  to  bring  a  wandering  soul  to  Christ.  Often  men 
said,  "Let  us  get  him  under  Dr.  Babcock's  influence ;  he  can  surely 
reach  him."  Dr.  Babcock  was  a  very  versatile  man ;  exceedingly 
attractive  in  phvsique,  pleasant  in  manner,  with  a  soul  that  reflected 
God. 

Dr.  Babcock  was  a  clear  thinker,  and  a  fluent  speaker.  He 
was  noted  for  his  broad  and  impartial  charity  and  his  vast  array 
of  friends  among  the  young  men  of  his  country.  He  reached  the 
people  in  so  many  ways.  His  personal  magnetism  was  marvelous. 
Those  who  heard  him  were  entranced  and  he  was  called  to  speak 
at  all  great  religious  gatherings,  from  one  end  of  the  country  to 
the  other  and  crowds,  young  and  old,  hung  upon  his  lips.  Taught 
of  the  Spirit,  he  revealed  to  them  the  open  door  to  heaven  and  the 
message  of  the  Jehovah. 

Dr.  Babcock  never  published  a  book.  He  lived  or  sang  his 
thoughts.  He  was  a  great  lover  of  music,  played  many  instru- 
ments extremely  well,  improvised  delightfully  and  also  wrote  many 
songs  and  hymns  which  have  been  published  and  have  won  instant 
recognition  as  splendid  work.  But  the  watchword  of  his  life  was : 
'"This  one  thing  I  do,"  to  honor  his  Master  and  to  save  souls. 
His  poems  are  of  unquestioned  excellence  and  have  been  said  to 
resemble  those  of  Emerson.  They  have  been  published  in  connec- 
tion with  a  memorial  volume  of  extracts  from  sermons  and  addresses 
gathered  by  his  grief  stricken  widow,  entitled  "Thoughts  for  Every 
Day  Living."  His  foreign  letters,  written  while  last  abroad,  to  the 
men  of  the  Brick  Church  in  Xew  York  City,  were  also  published. 

What  Dr.  Babcock's  work  was  in  Baltimore  it  is  simplv  im- 
possible to  estimate  in  an  article  as  brief  as  this  or  to  speak  of  the 
breadth  and  reach  of  that  wonderful  pastorate  in  New  York.  His 
acquaintance  was  cosmopolitan,  and  it  knew  no  denominational 
bond,  and  was  met  by  a  distinguished  hospitalit\-  to  which  his  wife, 
the  daughter  of  a  prominent  Poughkeepsie  lawyer,  added  both 
beauty  and  charm.  What  Dr.  Babcock  was  in  liis  home  only  those 
who  lived  with  him  and  loved  him,  upon  whom  his  devotion  was 
showered  can  tell.  At  the  time  of  his  death,  at  Naples,  Italv,  May 
l8,  1901,  in  his  forty-third  year,  the  papers,  both  religious  and 
secular,  teemed  with  statements  proving  in  every  \va\-  his  remark- 
able power. 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  371 

One  who  knew  Dr.  Babcock  intimately  said :  "The  only  relief 
in  the  mystery  of  iiis  untimely  death  it  seemed  to  me,  was  in  the 
fact  that  his  character  and  work  were  of  such  potency  that  they 
must  reproduce  themselves  in  the  living. 


:\IR.  FRAXK  BIERCE  ^lALTBY.  C.E. 
(President  of  the  Alaltby  Association.) 

Mr.  Frank  B.  ^Nlaltby,  the  second  president  of  the  Alaltby 
Association,  was  graduated  from  the  University  of  Illinois  in  1882, 
and  in  1907  was  given  an  honorary  degree.  After  matriculating, 
Mr.  Alaltby  followed  the  engineering  profession  and  has  been  con- 
nected with  railroad  construction  and  work  under  the  government 
on  the  Mississippi  and  Missouri  Rivers.  From  1902  to  1905,  Mr. 
Maltby  was  in  charge  of  all  dredging  operations  on  the  ^lississippi 
River  below  Cairo  and  at  this  time  had  under  his  direction  the 
largest  dredge  plant  in  the  world. 

In  1905  Mr.  Maltby  went  to  Panama  as  a  dredging  expert  in 
charge  of  all  dredging  operations  and  was  afterwards  made  Divi- 
sion Engineer  and  then  Principal  Assistant  Engineer  under  Mr. 
Jno.  F.  Stevens,  Chief  Engineer  of  the  Isthmian  Canal  Commission. 

While  in  the  service  of  the  canal  commission,  'Sir.  Maltby  de- 
signed and  built  the  dredges  now  in  use  in  constructing  the  canal. 
This  plant  cost  about  a  million  and  a  half  dollars. 

Mr.  Maltby's  work  also  included  the  construction  of  wharves 
and  docks  and  beginning  the  construction  of  the  great  Gatun  lock 
and  dam.  He  also  built  a  cold  storage  plant,  laundry  and  a  bakery 
on  the  Isthmus. 

After  the  canal  construction  was  turned  over  to  the  army 
engineers  Mr.  Maltby  resigned  and  was  chief  engineer  for  the  firm 
of  Dodge  and  Day  of  Philadelphia. 

In  1908,  Dodge  and  Day  had  the  contract  for  the  erection  of 
the  largest  cable  way  plant  in  the  world  for  handling  material  at 
Gatun.  ^  Later  Mr.  :\Ialtby  became  associated  with  James  Stewart 
&  Company  of  New  York,  general  contractors.  At  this  time  Mr. 
Maltby  was  in  charge  of  a  large  contract  on  the  Xew  York  State 
barge  canal,  as  well  as  of  work  in  Buffalo  and  Lorain,  Ohio.  In 
191 1,  Mr.  Maltby  became  a  partner  with  a  firm  of  Contractors  and 
Engineers  in  New  York  Citv.  Galwens  and  Dodge. 

"  The  latest  work  of  Mr.  Maltby's  has  been  the  Cape  Cod  Canal, 
recentlv  finished.     As  a  hydraulic  engineer  and  an  expert  on   all

classes  of  dredging  operations,  Mr.  Maltby  has  made  a  name  for 
himself  of  which  he  well  might  be  proud,  but  being  of  a  most 
retiring  disposition,  it  remains  for  his  kinsmen  to  feel  a  just  satis- 
faction in  the  place  he  has  made  for  himself  in  the  highest  ranks 
of  his  profession. 

Mr.  Maltby's  line  of  descent  is  given  below: 

1.  William  Maltby  m.  (  ist  or  2nd  wife?).

BIRDSEY  LUCIUS  MALTBIE,  ESQ. 

It  is  a  pleasure  to  be  able  to  publish  the  photograph  of  ]\Ir. 
Birdsey  L.  Maltbie,  to  whom  we  are  indebted  for  this  book.  Had 
it  not  been  for  Mr.  Maltbie's  great  generosity  in  privately  financing 
the  publication  of  these  records,  they  would  have  been  unavailable 
to  the  public  and  doubtless  would  ultimately  have  become  lost  to 
posterity. 

The  expense  of  publishing  such  a  book  is  great,  and  we  can 
best  express  our  gratitude  and  appreciation  of  Mr.  Maltbie's  kind- 
ness by  showing  our  copies  to  any  relations  who  have  not  yet  sub- 
scribed for  one. 

It  must  be  understood  that  under  the  best  of  conditions  as  to 
the  sale  of  the  book,  etc.,  there  is  not  one  cent  of  pecuniary  gain 
for  Mr.  Maltbie,  as  a  result  of  his  philanthropy.  He  generously 
declares  that  should  h.e  more  than  cover  the  cost  of  the  book,  any 
surplus  will  go  to  the  compiler  as  a  mark  of  appreciation  of  the 
v,^ork  of  years.  This  would  be  very  nice,  but  it  should  be  thoroughly 
understood  by  purchasers  that  neither  Mr.  Maltbie  or  Mrs.  Verrill 
went  into  the  editing  or  publishinsf  with  the  faintest  idea  of  deriving 
any  personal  benefit  from  their  efi^orts.  If  the  Maltbv  descendants 
find  the  book  of  interest  to  such  an  extent  that  Mr.  B.  L.  AFaltbie

may  feel  no  regret  for  his  kindness,  then  indeed  may  all  those  con- 
cerned feel  well  satisfied  and  amply  repaid. 

Mr.  B.  L.  Maltbie  was  born  at  Cattarangns,  N.  Y.,  September 
19th,  1864.  At  an  early  age  he  began  his  life's  work  in  a  ;drug 
store,  was  graduated  from  the  Albany  College  of  Pharmacy,  class 
of  1885,  with  highest  honors  (he  was  elected  president  of  the  Col- 
lege Alumni  in  1915).  In  t888  he  started  in  the  drug  business  in 
a  small  way,  for  himself,  and  later  in  partnership  with  his  brother, 
Ralph  H.  Maltbie,  started  in  the  manufacture  of  pharmaceutical 
preparations,  which  business  was  later  incorporated  as  The  Maltbie 
Chemical  Company,  and  which  is  now  a  thriving  organization  with 
laboratories  in  Newark,  N.  J. 

Mr.  Maltbie  is  the  author  of  "Maltbie's  Practical  Pharmacy" 
and  editor  of  several  other  publications.  In  191 5  he  was  elected 
president  of  The  American  x\ssociation  of  Pharmaceutical  Chemists. 

He  was  married  in  1897  to  Emma  D.  Bancroft  in  Buffalo,  New 
York.  They  have  one  daughter,  Harriet  B.  Maltbie.  They  reside 
in  East  Orange,  N.  J.,  except  during  the  winter  which  time  is  spent 
at  Altamonte   Springs,  Florida,  where  they  have  a  winter  home." 


MISS  MARGARET  E.  MALTBY 

Some  years  ago  a  correspondent  wrote  of  Miss  Margaret  E. 
Maltby,  "she  is  the  only  woman  professor  at  Columbia  University." 
If  this  is  still  the  case  is  not  known  to  the  compiler,  but  that  Miss 
Maltby  is  a  very  brilliant  woman,  exceedingly  clever  and  a  fascinat- 
ing conversationalist  is  well  known  to  those  who  have  been  so  for- 
tunate as  to  make  her  acquaintance.  The  followino-  are  a  list  of  de- 
grees conferred  upon  her:  Oberlin,  Ohio,  A.B.  (1882);  A.Af. 
(1891);  Mass.  Institute  of  Technology,  S.B.  (1891);  Gottinger

following  fellowships:  Foreign  Scholarshin  (or  Fellowship)  from 
Mass.  Institute  of  Technology,  two  years  while  at  Gottinoer.  '93- Q5. 
The  foreign  felUiwship  of  the  Association  of  Collegiate  Ahuiini, 
95-96. 

Miss  Maltby  is  a  fellow  of  the  American  Association  for  the 
Advancement  of  Science  and  was  private  research  assistant  to 
President  Kohll)rausch  of  the  Physikalisch  Technische  Reich- 
saustalt,   '98-'99. 

In  1899-1900  ^[iss  Maltby  studied  at  Clark  Ihiiversity  with

MOLBY  GENEALOGY 

Recently  we  have  discovered  a  branch  of  the  JMaltby  family 
spelling  their  name  Molby.  This  branch  we  believe  should  connect 
with  parent  tree  at  Jonathon  Maltby  (4),  born  Oct.  21,  1751,  and 
said  by  Rev.  Jonathon  (4)  to  have  married  a  Miss  Culver,  and 
went  to  Lenox,  Mass.  From  here  he  probably  went  up  to  Averment, 
as  Culver  was  a  prominent  name  in  Vermont  in  Revolutionary  Days. 
As  yet  this  descent  has  not  been  proved,  ^^'hat  records  we  have 
of  this  family  begin  with  one  Jonathon  Maltb}-  who  went  from 
Salem,  Mass.,  in  1800,  to  New  York  State.  Now  it  is  tradition 
that  he  was  from  Salem,  and  tradition  is  evidently  wTong  as  the 
Town  Clerk  assures  us  the  name  ]\Ialtby  is  not  on  the  records. 

Jonathon  Alaltby  had  the  following  children :  Chester  INIolby, 
b.  Dec.  8,  1788;  Jacob  Maltby;  William  [Nlaltby.  went  west  when 
young,  perhaps  to  Michigan ;  Isaac  Molby,  went  west  when  young. 

Chester  Molby  m.  Sally  Wigent ;  they  named  their  children 
Samuel,  John.  Benjamin,  Susanna,  Harriet,  Polly,  Lydia.  Loanna. 
Jane  and  Daniel. 

Jacob  ]\Ialtby.  brother  of  Chester,  named  his  children  William, 
Minor,  Henry,  John  and  Lucy.  Further  records  of  this  branch 
requested.

WAR  RECORDS 

The  lists  of  Maltbys-Maltbies,  who  have  served  their  country 
in  the  various  wars  our  country  has  been  involved  in  since  its  in- 
fancy should  prove  of  interest  to  all  Alaltbys. 

These  records  are  far  from  complete  but  they  have  been  col- 
lected wherever  possible  and  it  is  the  hope  of  the  compiler  that 
they  will  act  as  an  impetus  to  kinsmen  to  send  in  further  data  con- 
cerning those  Maltbys  they  may  know  of  who  in  like  manner  served 
their  country. 

These  lists  would  be  far  more  fragmentary  were  it  not  for 
the  kindness  of  Miss  Achsah  Adelia  Maltby  of  Seattle  who  very 
kindly  copied  all  printed  lists  obtainable  there  at  the  library. 

The  first  list  contains  the  names  of  Maltbys  who  held  military 
rank,  but  owing  to  age,  were  not  available  for  any  actual  war, 
some  being  born  too  late  or  too  soon  or  having  died  prior  to  the 
outbreak  of  war. 

MISCELLANEOUS  MILITARY  RECORDS 

1.  William    (i)    Maltby,   Ensign   of  Train   Band. 

2.  Samuel    (2)    Maltby,    Captain.    (Whence    his    title    is    not 
known.)

Col.  Stephen  (4)  Maltby.  [Benjamin  (3),  Daniel  (2).  \\'illiam 
(i)]  born  in  1769,  too  late  to  serve  in  the  Revolutionary  \\'ar.  He 
had  much  military  spirit,  but  it  was  his  misfortune  to  die  just  at 
the  beginning  of  the  War  of  181 2,  in  which  his  brother.  General 
Isaac,  distinguished  himself. 

Lieut.  John  Maltby  (5)  [Samuel  (4),  Samuel  (3),  Samuel 
(2),  William  (i)].  A  descendant.  Dr.  Hubbard  of  Alamedia, 
Calif.,  writes  of  him  as  "Lieut."  He  was  born  in  1768.  Query: 
Was  he  in  the  War  of  181 2?

act  in  conjunction  with  the  regular  troops  under  command  of  Earl  of 
London.  In  October  the  Assembly  ordered  the  enlisting  of  three  companies 
of  94  men  each,  officers  included,  out  of  the  troops  already  in  service,  to 
remain  in  service  throughout  the  winter.  An  alarm  in  August  at  the  time 
of  the  capture  of  Fort  Wm.  Henry  called  out  many  of  the  militia.

REVOLUTIONARY  WAR 

Capt.  BENJAMIN  Maltbie  (3),  Daniel  (2),  Wm.  (i).  There 
is  only  one  record  to  show  that  Benjamin  Maltby  had  the  title  of 
"Captain."  It  is  doubtful  if  he  went  to  "the  front,"  as  he  was  about 
60  years  of  age  at  the  time  of  the  Revolution,  but  doubtless  was 
captain  of  a  company  for  "home  defense."  The  record  is  from 
the  Northford  Church  records,  page  127  and  reads:  "Apr.  2,  1778. 
This  church  make  choice  of  Capt.  Benjamin  Maltbie  and  Phineas 
Baldwin  to  be  their  Deacons  who  accepted  this  office.*  Test.  War-

the  Revolution  and  furnished  a  full  quota  of  men  by  voluntary  enlistment,

Note. — The  Society  of  the  Children  of  the  American  Revohition  have 
a  chapter  named  for  this  patriot,  called  "The  Thaddeus  Alaltby  Society." 
It  was  organized  in  St.  Paul,  Minn.,  ]March,  1896.  by  Airs.  Ferederick  E. 
Foster,  a  descendant  of  Gen.  Isaac  (4).  brother  of  Thaddeus  (4)  IMaltby. 
In  an  address  Airs.  Foster  give  a  brief  sketch  of  this  young  Revolutionary 
Ware  hero,  who  gave  his  life  for  his  country,  and  from  this  we  quote.  "He 
enlisted  at  the  breaking  out  of  the  war,  being  then  but  eighteen  years  of 
age.  For  gallant  conduct  he  was  soon  made  Corporal  of  his  company.  He 
lived  to  see  some  victories,  but  unused  to  the  hardship  and  privations  he 
fell  fatally  ill  from  exposure  at  Ticonderoga  and  was  sent  home  to  die.  Of 
his  brothers,  one  was  a  student  at  Yale,"  ["Jonathon  (4)  ]  "another  was  in 
the  army"  (Query:  Was  this  Benjamin?)  "and  of  the  youngest  none  was 
large  enough  to  undertake  to  bring  home  the  dying  soldier.  A  young  cousin* 
was  therefore  sent  for  him"  (Who  was  this  "cousin"?)  "and  from  the 
Northern  Army  to  Xorthford,  Connecticut,  the  long  journey  was  performed 
slowly  and  painfully,  both  boys  riding  the  same  horse.  Thaddeus  leaning 
forward  on  his  cousin's  shoulders  for  support.  Exhausted  and  spent  he 
reached  the  pleasant  home  from  which  he  had  departed  but  a  few  months 
before  strong  and  brave,  dying  shortly  after  his  return  and  leaving  no  de- 
scendants to  tell  of  his  heroic  sacrifice.  This  brief  story  of  a  short  life  was 
learned  from  a  bundle  of  old  family  letters  and  the  facts  since  verified  from 
printed  records  in  the  State  Library."  Elizabeth  Fowler  Maltby,  mother  of 
Thaddeus  said  when  she  lost  her  baby  she  thought  it  terrible  but  when  a 
grown  up  son  died  in  the  army  "the  loss  of  the  baby  was  nothing  in 
comparison."

statement  be  produced?  An  item  of  interest  concerning  this  branch  of  the 
familv  was  recently  received  from  Mrs.  Shipp.  She  writes:  "I  know  that

compiler  has  a  theory  this  was  a  descendant  of  Robert  Maltby, 
emigrant,  said  to  have  "gone  South." 

These  records  of  Maltbys  who  served  in  the  Revolutionary  War 
may  be  far  from  complete,  as  the  author  has  no  reference  library 
to  consult.  At  the  same  time  we  find  that  practically  all  the  Maltbys 
of  a  suitable  age  to  serve  their  country  did  so  upon  the  break  with 
England.  Meanwhile,  their  English  cousins  were  serving  their 
country  and  a  list  of  British  officers  serving  in  America  will  be 
found  in  the  N.  E.  H.  &  Gen.  Reg.,  about  the  year  1907.  This 
list  contains  the  names  of  several  Maltbys.     (See  below.) 

According  to  Mass.  Hist.  Soc.  Proceedings,  1864-1865,  there 
was  a  Captain  Maltby  on  the  British  ship  "Glasgow."  The  record 
is  not  to  his  credit,  however.  It  is  a  court  martial  record,  dated 
"January  13,  1775,  which  continued  two  days  this  week  on  board 
the  'Somerset.'  "  The  account  is  in  a  letter  of  John  Andrews.  Esq  , 
of  Boston.

REVOLUTIONARY    WAR    NOTE 


The  descendants  of  Benjamin  and  Elizabeth  Fowler  Maltl~)y 
will  be  interested  to  know  that  this  ancestor  was  an  officer  in  the 
Revolutionary  War,  though  60  years  of  age  at  the  outbreak  of 
hostilities.  The  Rev.  Mr.  Gillette  said  in  his  Branford  address : 
"The  people  of  North  and  South  societies  ( Northford  and  Old 
P>ranford)  entered  with  ardor  into  the  war  of  the  Revolution,  and 
furnished  a  full  quota  of  men  by  voluntary  enlistment,  both  for 
land  and  sea  service,  benjamin  Maltby  was  Captain  of  trained 
band."  He  resided  near  his  older  brother  Daniel  (3),  "both  of  them 
commanded  trained  bands,  as  then  called,  whence  his  title  of  Capt." 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— AIALTBIE  383 

(Ref.  Statement  of  his  son,  Rev.  Jonathan  (4)  :\Ialtby)  as  Capt. 
Daniel  (3)  Alaltbv  did  not  die  tih  late  in  October.  1776,  it  is  pos- 
sible that  descendants  would  be  eligible  through  him  to  any  Revo- 
lutionary War  society. 

The  Xorthford  Church  Records,  p.  127,  has  the  following: 
"Apr.  2,  1778.  This  church  makes  choice  of  Capt.  Benjamin 
Maltbie  and  Phineas  Baldwin  to  be  their  Deacons  who  accepted 
their  office.     Test.    Warham  Williams,  Pastor." 

Further  proof  that  this  Capt.  Benjamin  is  none  other  than  the 
one  claimed  is  found  in  a  Bond  owned  by  Mrs.  F.  E.  Foster,  in 
which  "Benjamin  Maltby,  Junr.,  Jonathan  Alaltby,  Isaac  Maltby 
and  Stephen  Maltby,  promise  to  pay  their  Honoured  Mother  Eliza- 
beth ]\laltby  the  sum  of  Twenty  pounds  lawfull  Money  within  one 
year  from  the  decease  of  our  Honoured  Father,  Capt.  Benjamin 
Maltby,  in  case  she  survive  him,"  etc.  "Dated  Branford  20  day 
Febru'y,  1792." 

This  Bond,  with  many  other  valuable  papers,  was  carefully 
preserved  by  Alartha  Church  Maltby,  daughter  of  General  Isaac 
Maltby,  (v.  v.)  and  it  is  to  her  that  we  owe  the  very  complete 
records  now  existing  of  this  branch  of  the  family.  There  are  no 
words  of  praise  too  high  for  the  work  she  accomplished,  and  against 
the  difficulties  which  frequently  beset  the  path  of  the  genealogist.

possession  of  his  granddaughter,  Mrs.  Frederick  E.  Foster.  For

knew  Captain  and  Mrs.  Ralph  Bledsoe,  the  Captain  was  an  old 
gentleman  and  is  since  deceased.  He  knew  intimately  Theodore 
Dwight  Maltby,  a  grand  uncle  of  the  compiler,  and  served  with  him 
in  the  Mexican  War.  Capt  Bledsoe  always  spoke  of  him  as  "Major 
Maltby"  and  recounted  many  interesting  war  experiences,  and  if 
I  remember  rightly  they  were  in  the  battle  of  Chapultepec.  After 
the  war,  Major  Maltby  was  for  a  time  in  partnership  with  Capt. 
Bledsoe  and  owned  one  of  the  first  freighting  outfits  operating  in 
that  section  of  Idaho.  Major  Maltby  often  stopped  at  the  Bledsoe's, 
who  kept  "open  house,"  and  was,  according  to  them,  remarkably 
handsome,  well  educated,  a  brilliant  conversationalist  and  of  a 
pleasins:  personality.

BRANFORD 
By  Seraph  MaltbiE  Dean 

Lying  secure  amidst  the  isles. 
And  rocky  headlands  of  the  Sound, 
Was  a  wild  tract  with  harbor  near, 
More  deep  and  wide  than  bays  around. 


Held  by  a  race  wild  as  this  tract. 
It  caught  the  eye  of  pioneers 
Seeking  a  place  where  merchandise 
Might  be  transported  without  fears. 

The  harbor  with  its  smiling  grace, 
The   Stony  Creek,  the  Thimble   Isles, 
All  made  a  picture  to  enchant. 
And  lure  one  with  its  magic  wiles. 


390  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

Totoket,  had  the  place  been  called, 
Before  our  fathers  changed  the  name 
To  Branford,  for  the  English  town 
Of  Brentford,  whence  some  doubtless  came. 

For  seventy  dollars  this  bold  site, 

In  1638  was  bought 

By  forty  men,  and  soon  became 

Noted  for  shipping  craft  there  wrought. 

In  that  remote  ancestral  day 
A  rugged  race  in  Branford  stood. 
Held  fast  by  creeds  and  rules  severe. 
Yet  laboring  for  the  general  good. 

Whoever  called  the  town  his  home, 
Must  all  the  rigid  laws  obey, 
Attend  the  church,  yea,  keep  awake, 
Or  heavy  fine  was  his  to  pay. 

A  Whipping  Post  stood  on  the  hill. 
To  frighten  children  of  the  flock 
Who  naughty  were,  and  Curfew  bade 
Folk  in  their  bed  by  ten  o'clock. 

In  center  of  the  town  the  Green 
Was   situate   with   rocky   spires. 
And  round  about  were  houses  built 
For  Sabbath  use,  with  open  fires. 

Where  families  gathered  at  mid-day 
To  lunch  and  rest — but  dare  we  think 
Our  ancestors  were  frail  as  we. 
Who  love  to  gossip,  eat  and  drink? 

'Twas  here,  in   1700,  dwelt 
The  one  whose  birth  we  celebrate, 
A  man  the  Public  Records  show 
Identified  with  Church  and  State. 

Here,  too,  he  died,  and  here  would  we, 
A  loving  tribute  gladly  pay 
To  Wiliiam  Maltby,  iKMiored  sire 
Of  our  "rcat  familv  this  day. 


iMALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  391 

From  homes  so  widely  separate. 
We  cannot  often  here  return 
To  solemnize  on  sacred  ground. 
The  ancestral  fires  that  now  we  burn. 

Yet  may  we  hold  fast  to  the  faith 
Our  fathers  held  in  Church  and  State, 
And  write  their  inscription  on  our  shields— 
"Virtue  increases  under  weight." 

And  then  some  glad  Reunion  day. 
In  Land  that  knows  no  pain  nor  sin, 
Meet,  a  united  family, 
With  sainted  host  of  Maltby  kin. 

(Written  for  the  First  Reunion  of  the  Maltbv  Family  at  Branford.) 


BRANFORD.  CONNECTICUT 

In  Part  I.  we  gave  several  pen  pictures  of  Maltby,  Yorkshire, 
the  home  of  some  of  the  English  Maltbys  and  it  seems  fitting  that 
a  short  account  of  the  home  of  our  emigrant  ancestor  should  also 
have  a  place  in  this  work. 

We  can  hardly  do  better  than  quote  from  an  essay  written  by 
Miss  Olive  Hall  Pond  of  Branford,  as  it  gives  a  very  compre- 
hensive idea  of  the  Branford  our  early  ancestors  knew. 

"Branford  was  purchased  from  the  Indians  in  the  year  1638 
for  the  sum  of  $70,  and  settled  six  years  late  ( 1644)  by  forty  men 
and  their  families,  who  came  from  Wethersfield.    .    .    . 

"At  first  the  chief  occupation  was  farmin<;-  but  the  people 
soon  found  that  the  land  was  not  remarkable  for  its  fertility. 
Piranford  harbor  was  then  much  deeper  than  it  is  at  the  present 
time  and  furnished  excellent  facilities  for  ships  engaging  in  trade 
with  the  West  Indies.  Consequently,  merchandise  from  foreign 
ports  was  brought  to  Branford  and  was  then  carried  over  the  hills 
to  New  Haven,  which  at  that  time  did  not  have  a  good  harbor. 

"Trading  necessitated  the  building  of  ships.  Vessels  suit- 
able to  transport  merchandise  to  all  parts  of  the  world  were  built 
where  the  swimming  pool  at  Mill  Plains  is  now  located.    .    .    . 

"It  is  interesting  to  picture  the  town  as  we  find  it  in  the  year 
1700."  (Ten  years  prior  to  the  death  of  William  Alaltby.)  "The 
green  was  then,  as  now,  the  center  of  the  town.     Large   rocks. 


392  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— iMALTBIE 

boulders  and  tall  grass  completely  covered  it.  There  was  but  one 
church,  which  stood  where  the  town  hall  does  today.  This  was 
called  the  new  meeting  house,  the  first  having  been  built  on  the 
site  of  the  cemetery*  and  surrounded  by  a  high  stockade,  as  a  pro- 
tection from  hostile  Indians. 

"Scattered  around  the  green  were  the  'Sabbath  Day  Houses.' 
They  were  used  by  families  who  came  from  a  long  distance.  They 
afforded  the  people  places  to  rest  and  warm  themselves  during 
the  noon  hour,  for  the  church  services  there  lasted  nearly  all  day. 

"Two  other  conspicuous  structures  on  the  green  were  the 
Blacksmith  shop  and  the  whipping  post.  The  shop  stood  in  the 
hollow  back  of  the  church,  the  whipping  post  and  public  stocks 
on  the  hill  where  the  Baptist  church  now  stands. 

"There  were  but  few  public  highways,  the  chief  of  which  led 
from  New  Haven  through  the  town  of  Branford  to  Guilford. 
Montowese  street,  named  from  the  Indians,  ran  as  now  from  the 
center  to  the  river.  Here  it  turned,  following  the  present  course 
of  the  railroad,  thence  back  to  the  green.  A  street  upon  which  the 
minister  and  several  officials  of  the  town  lived,  led  from  Montowese 
street,  east  to  the  river,  somewhat  similar  to  Averill  avenue.  This 
was  called  'Pig  Lane.' 

"The  first  postofiice,  with  public  store  combined,  stood  on  the 
site  of  the  Lock  works.  This  hollow  formed  the  principal  business 
section  of  Branford. 

"The  kindergarten,  grammar  and  high  school  combined,  con- 
sisted of  one  building,  the  academy,  which  now  stands,  the  only 
remaining  relic  of  former  days. 

"It  is  most  amusing  to  notice  some  of  the  customs  and  re- 
strictions of  that  time.  Chief  among  these  were  the  church  laws. 
Sunday  morning  a  drum  was  beaten  to  call  the  members  to  church. 
Every  person  who  did  not  attend,  arrive  on  time,  and  stay  until 
the  service  was  over,  was  heavily  fined.  Besides  this,  a  man  was 
hired  to  go  among  the  congregation  during  the  service  and  pre- 
vent them  from  going  to  sleep.  This  he  accomplished  by  means 
of  a  long  pole.  Any  weary  mortal  who  chanced  to  close  his  eyes 
for  a  moment's  rest  would  receive  a  vigorous  poke  of  the  pole, 
with  a  command  to  wake  up  and  listen  to  the  words  of  the  Gospel. 

"On  this  day  the  Green  was  transformed  into  a  lively  scene. 
The  farmers  and  their  entire  families  drove  into  town  in  their 
large  open  wagons ;  one  man  coming  all  the  way  from  Northford, 
regularly  attended  with  his  wife  and  26  children. 

*  The  first  wife  of  William  Maltby  was  probably  buried  near  this 
first  meeting  house. 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  393 

"Another  law  of  special  importance,  the  fines  for  the  violation 
of  which  would  make  Branford  of  today  very  wealthy,  if  the  law 
were  enforced,  was  what  was  known  in  England  as  the  curfew 
law.  This  stated  that  the  streets  must  be  vacated,  fires  banked 
and  every  man  in  his  home  at  lo  o'clock. 

Additional  items  of  interest  pertaining  to  Branford  and  the 
Maltbys  will  be  found  in  the  following  article  which  is  copied 
from  a  A/[s.  sent  by  Mrs.  John  P.  Cushman  and  is  here  given 
verbatim : 

BRANFORD. 

"As  Branford  may  be  considered  our  family  home  I  copy  quite 
an  extended  account  of  its  early  history  (see  also  Mass.  Hist.  Coll., 
Vol.  6,  p.  319)  from  the  semi-centennial  discourse  (Morehouse 
and  Taylor,  Pub.)  of  Rev.  Timothy  P.  Gillett  (pastor  of  the 
church)  preached  July  7,  1858.  'The  tract  of  land,  which  for 
almost  two  centuries  constituted  the  town  of  Branford.  was  pur- 
chased of  the  town  of  New  Haven  in  the  year  1644,  by  colonists 
or  immigrants  from  Wethersfield  with  William  Swain  at  their 
head.  The  settlers  in  New  Haven  had  purchased  it  of  the  Indian 
Sachems  in  1638.  (Sept.  i,  1640)  Totoket,  or  Branford,  was 
granted  to  Rev.  Samuel  Eaton,  brother  of  Theophilus  Eaton,  Gov. 
of  New  Haven  Colony,  provided  he  obtained  a  sufficient  number 
of  his  friends  to  settle  it.  He  went  to  England  for  that  purpose, 
but  was  persuaded  to  remain  and  preach  at  Durbenfield  and  Stock- 
port, in  England.  As  he  failed  of  fulfilling  his  engagement,  Bran- 
ford was  sold  to  Wm.  Swain  and  others  of  Wethersfield.  Totoket, 
the  original  name,  seems  to  have  been  given  by  the  Aborigines, 
to  a  range  of  mountains  running  through  the  northern  part  of  the 
town,  and  from  them  applied  to  the  whole  tract.  Its  present  name 
is  said  to  have  been  derived  from  Brentford  or  Burntford,  a  village 
in  England,  near  London.'  (Author's  note:  "Brentford,  Middle- 
sex, their  friends  distinguished  themselves  on  the  side  of  Parlia- 
ment there  in  1642.") 

'Probably  some  of  the  first  settlers  came  from  that  place,  who, 
after  residing  temporarily  in  other  places  finally  fixed  their  resi- 
dence here.  It  does  not  appear  that  there  were  among  them  any 
persons  of  great  wealth,  or  superior  rank.  But  they  were  men 
of  strict  Puritan  principles,— men  of  stern  integrity  and  zealous 
for  religious  liberty,  so  far  as  its  principles  were  then  understood. 
The  doctrines  of  their  creed  were  Calvanistic,  or  those  which  were 
embodied  shortlv  after,  in  the   Cambridge  and  Westminster  Con- 


394  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

fession  of  Faith.  In  church  pohcy  they  were  CongregationaHsts. 
In  common  with  other  colonists  of  that  age,  they  acted  on  the 
scheme  of  carrying  the  gospel  and  its  ordinances,  education  and 
its  advantages,  with  them,  and  having  the  church,  the  minister  and 
the  school,  coeval  with  their  settlement.  .  .  .  There  are  no  rec- 
ords known  to  exist  showing  when  a  church  was  ora;anized  here, 
but  as  early  as  October,  1644.  the  salary  of  Air.  John  Sherman 
as  a  preacher  began,  and  the  records  show  he  was  remaining  here 
in  1646,  though  probably  not  as  a  settled  minister.  (  See  Barber's 
Hist.  Coll.  for  further  notice  of  Mr.  Sherman.) 

The  first  •  regular  pastor  was  Abraham  Pierson,  whose  name 
appears  on  the  town  records  in  1647.  He  was  born  in  Yorkshire, 
Eng.,  graduated  at  Cambridge  in  1632.  preached  some  years  in 
his  own  country,  came  to  Xew  England  in  1639,  joined  the  church 
in  Boston,  soon  moved  to  Lynn,  and  the  next  year  settled  in 
Southampton,  L.  I.,  probably  in  1641.  In  1647  he  removed  to 
Branford,  and  was  pastor  of  the  church  here  about  twenty  years. 
The  union  of  New  Haven  Colony  with  that  of  Connecticut  so  dis- 
pleased Mr.  Pierson,  that  he,  with  many  of  his  people,  left  Branford 
about  June,  1667,  and  settled  in  Newark,  N.  J.,  where  he  died 
Aug.  9,  1678.  He  probably  carried  away  the  church  records,  and 
they  are  supposed  to  be  lost.  The  town  records  were  not  removed. 
Branford  was  without  an  organized  church  and  settled  minister 
for  about  twenty  years."  (Author's  note:  The  descendants  of 
Col.  Stephen  Maltby  (4)  have  the  above  Rev.  Abraham  Pierson 
for  an  ancestor,  through  his  daughter  Abigail,  who  married  John 
Davenport.) 

"The  first  church  edifice  was  erected  within  the  old  burying 
ground,  and  tradition  says  it  w^as  enclosed  by  a  stockade  to  protect 
its  worshippers  from  the  Indians.  Four  others  have  succeeded  it, 
built  where  the  present  house  now  stands.  The  centre  burying 
ground  was  the  only  one  in  town,  for  about  eighty  years  after 
its  settlement.  There  lie  the  remains  of  all  the  pastors  and  their 
wives,  except  Mr.  Pierson,  and  there  sleep  the  first  settlers  with 
many  of  their  descendants.    .    .    . 

"Formerly  the  shipping  business  and  the  West  India  trade 
from  Branford  were  greater  than  from  New  Haven.  The  harbor 
here  was  better  and  safer.  The  Dutch,  sagacious  and  enter]^rising. 
had  discovered  this  long  before  Daniel"  (Compiler's  query,  Wil- 
liam?) "Swain,  of  Wethersfield,  and  his  company  bought  Ttitoket. 
They  had  also  established  a  trading  house  here,  and  opened  a  lucra- 
tive traffic  with  the  Indians.  Their  location  is  still  known  as  Dutch 
House  Point  and  Dutch  House  Quarter.     But  the  people  of  Bran- 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  395 

ford  met  with  great  reverses,  in  the  old  French  wars.  Their 
ships  were  captured  or  lost,  their  spirit  of  enterprise  broken,  and 
the  improvements  made  in  New  Haven  harbor  removed  the  ship- 
ping" business  to  that  place. 

"There  is  no  record  or  tradition  that  the  Branford  Indians 
made  war  on  our  people,  or  offered  any  violence  to  them.  Their 
lands  were  bought  and  paid  for,  besides  the  price  paid  to  New 
Haven  for  the  township,  and  the  town  passed  laws  protecting  them 
in  all  their  rights,  and  prohibiting  individuals  from  purchasing  their 
reservations,  lest  fraud  should  be  practised."

In  February,  1906,  a  few  Maltby  descendants  formed  a  Maltby 
Association,  and  as  it  was  not  intended  to  confine  it  to  any  par- 
ticular country,  but  to  truly  make  it  a  Maltby  Association  of 
Maltbys  wherever  found,  there  was  only  one  rule  adopted  as  to 
eligibility,  namely  that  the  applicant  must  descend  from  a  Maltby ; 
the  one  exception  being  that  widows  of  Maltbys  should  be  entitled 
to  join  providing  it  was  distinctly  stated  on  all  membership  rolls 
that  they   "represented  their  husband." 

In  order  that  no  cousin  should  be  deterred  from  joining  owing 
to  prohibitive  dues,  these  were  made  as  low  as  possible,  and  the 
purely  nominal  sum  of  $1.00  a  year  for  each  member  is  asked. 
The  fact  that  the  dues  are  so  low  makes  it  absolutely  necessary 
for  the  success  of  the  Association  that  descendants  will  do  all  in 
their  power  to  interest  other  Maltbys  and  be  as  prompt  as  possible 
in  the  payment  of  dues.  It  must  be  thoroughly  understood  that 
all  money  received  from  members  is  applied  to  work  on  the  par- 
ticular branch  of  the  family  from  which  they  descend — to  try  and 
establish  a  more  complete  line  of  descent. 

In  the  case  of  the  American  Maltbys  the  money  paid  by  them 
is  used  for  various  purposes ;  some  being — the  care  and  restoration

of  our  early  ancestors'  tombstones ;  the  photographing  of  ancient 
]\Ialtby  tombstones,  portraits,  homesteads  and  heirlooms ;  the  copy- 
ing of  old  wills,  inventories,  family  letters  and  documents  of  special 
interest,— these  being  fees  to  Town  Clerks — the  search  of  early 
records  to  prove  the  connection  with  our  emigrant  ancestors  to 
some  heretofore  unplaced  Alaltby  family;  and  also  to  cover  the 
regular  running  expenses,  such  as  stamps,  stationery,  letter  heads, 
printed  receipt  cards  for  dues,  etc. ;  these  in  themselves  making 
quite  an  item.  And  last,  but  perhaps  most  important  of  all,  when 
we  can  get  sufficient  surplus  to  cover  current  expenses,  we  have 
employed  Air.  Gerald  Fothergill,  the  eminent  genealogist,  of  Lon- 
don, England,  to  work  upon  establishing  the  link  with  our 
English  ancestors.  In  this  work  we  were  materially  aided  by  con- 
tributions from  individuals,  twenty-four  members  contributing  sums 
ranging  from  fifty  cents  to  five  dollars,  giving  a  total  of  $51.50. 
That  this  money  was  well  invested  and  that  Mr.  Fothergill  more 
than  gave  us  full  value,  must  be  evident  to  all  those  who  have 
read  Part  I  of  this  book. 

Mr.  Fothergill  visited  York  in  July,  1910,  and  read  all  the 
^vills  'round  Retford  for  about  fifteen  years— no  matter  what  the 
testator's  name,  in  the  hope  of  getting  a  mention  of  Maltby,  but 
only  obtained  one.  This  used  one  ten  pound  note.  The  second 
ten  pounds  he  used  in  going  around  Retford.  He  personally  saw 
the  record  of  William  Alaltby's  baptism— "16  Alarch  1644-45."  Mr. 
Fothergill  wrote:  "This  corresponds  with  the  age  on  his  tomb. 
I  also  found  the  baptism  of  Robert  Maltby  in  1647.  I  hope  you  will 
be  pleased  with  this  evidence.  I  had  to  visit  Retford  and  Spring- 
thorpe  twice  as  the  Vicar  had  gone  away  and  had  the  keys  with 
him.  I  suspect  John"  (i.  e.,  brother  of  William  the  emigrant)  "to 
have  been  born  at  Bawtry.  The  Bawtry  registers  ought  to  be 
searched  as  well  as  Kexbie." 

There  is  every  reason  to  believe  that  our  ancestry  is  established 
back  to  John  Maltbv  of  Kexby  Hall,  Kexby,  who  made  his  will 
in  1557,  but  this  should  not  satisfy  us,  and  it  seems  such  a_  very 
short  step  from  here  to  a  connection  with  an  old  English  pedigree, 
such  a  one  as  Pedigree  No.  II— also  such  a  descent  would  give  iis 
a  right  to  use  a  coat-of-arms.  and  certainly  there  is  a  just  satis- 
faction in  knowing  that  one  is  entitled  to  coat-armour,  long  since 
justly  won  bv  some  ancestor. 

'We  need  monev  to  carry  on  this  work,  iio  ($50.00)  is  about 
the  smallest  sum  one  can  send,  and  if  some  of  the  members  who 
have  not  already  contributed  to  this  good  work  would  care  to  assist 
in  subscribing  to  this  fund  it  would  be  greatly  appreciated. 


398  MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE 

The  Association  has  another  object  to  accompHsh,  namely  to 
promote  a  feehng  of  good-will  and  kinship  to  all  of  our  kind 
wherever  found,  and  to  further  this  end  it  was  planned  to  hold 
a  Family  Reunion  at  least  once  every  five  years.  The  first  reunion 
was  held  at  Branford  in  September,  1910  (see  account  which  fol- 
lows), and  this  year  of  1915  should  find  a  second  reunion  planned, 
but  owing  to  an  unfortunate  chain  of  circumstances  it  was  not 
deemed  practicable  this  year. 

The  Maltby  Association  have  expected  to  publish  annually 
the  reports  of  the  secretary  and  treasurer,  and  to  date  we  have 
issued  four  publications,  viz. :  in  1907,  a  short  report,  afterwards 
included  in  Booklet  I,  issued  in  1908  through  the  courtesy  of 
Mr.  Jay  Hayes  Maltby  of  Forman,  North  Dakota.  In  February, 
1909,  Mr.  Jay  H.  Maltby.  at  his  own  expense,  issued  Booklet  II, 
a  volume  of  150  pages  very  nicely  got  up,  the  sale  of  which  we 
understand  just  covered  the  actual  cost  of  the  illustrations  and 
printing.  In  February,  1910,  the  Fourth  Annual  Report  of  the 
Secretary  and  Treasurer  was  published  and  sent,  gratis,  to  all 
members.  The  autumn  following  the  First  Reunion  was  held  which 
stimulated  an  interest  in  the  Association,  many  new  members  joined, 
and  all  seemed  anxious  to  procure  copies  of  the  next  Maltby  book 
which  was  promised  for  the  spring  of  191 1.  The  Secretary  ful- 
filled her  contract  and  had  the  AIS.  ready  the  last  of  February. 
The  book  was  to  have  been  printed  at  private  expense  by  a  Maltby 
who  expected  to  cover  the  costs  from  the  sale  of  the  publication. 
Then  came  the  hitch — it  is  too  long  a  story  and  far  too  unfortunate 
an  incident  to  go  into  at  length.  The  printing  stopped,  all  com- 
munication ceased,  it  was  impossible  to  obtain  the  manuscript ; 
meanwhile  members  wrote  asking  when  they  would  receive  their 
books ;  as  time  wore  on  the  interest  taken  in  the  Association  began 
to  lag,  dues  did  not  come  in  and  the  Secretary,  who  had  labored 
untiringly  since  the  founding  of  our  little  clan,  saw  the  work  of 
years  undone,  and  only  the  few  dying  embers  left  of  what  had 
been  a  well  built  house. 

However,  before  the  last  spark  was  extinguished,  one  to  whom 
we  are  greatly  indebted,  saw  that  the  manuscript  reached  us.  and 
Fate  was  indeed  kind,  when  she  led  :\Tr.  Birdsey  L.  Maltbie  to 
make  his  fine  ofifer  to  print  our  book  at  his  own  expense,  trusting 
to  the  Maltby  descendants'  interest  in  such  a  jM-oduction  to  sub- 
scribe sufficiently  to  cover  the  verv  high  costs  of  producing  such 
a  book.  We  earnestly  request  all  those  owning  cojiies  to  tell  their 
relations  of  the  book,  as  onlv  in  this  way  can  Mr.  Maltbie  be 
reimbursed  for  the  great  expense  to  which  he  has  been  put.     The 


.MALTBY— FA.MILY  HISTORY— AIALTBIE  399 

entire  book  of  nearly  nine  hundred  pages  has  been  rewritten,  re- 
vised and  added  to  by  the  secretary  in  the  last  few  months.  There 
is  room  for  much  improvement  as  to  literary  style,  arrangement 
and  so  forth,  but  it  has  been  work  done  as  a  "rush  order"  and 
with  all  the  imperfections  it  must  seek  its  own  place  among  you. 
We  hope  it  will  be  a  successful  venture,  for  if  so  we  shall  hope 
later  to  publish  the  large  Maltby  Genealogy  upon  which  the  geneal- 
ogist has  worked  for  years,  and  which  will  include  a  very  com- 
plete record  of  the  descendants  of  the  emigrant  ancestors,  John 
and  William  Maltbw  Again  we  urge  all  those  who  have  not 
already  done  so,  to  send  in  as  full  a  record  as  possible  of  their 
own  family  as  far  as  known,  also  old  portraits  of  ancestors,  giving 
when  possible  military  and  official  records,  names  of  universities 
attended,  full  dates  of  births,  marriages  and  deaths — in  fact  any 
items  of  particular  interest  in  your  family  and  which  you  should 
like  to  have  preserved  to  posterity,  so  that  when  you  receive  a 
printed  copy  you  will  feel  satisfied  with  the  accounts  given  and 
find  the  book  says  "just   what   I   wanted   said." 

As  the  present  book  is  intended  for  a  permanent  publication, 
much  of  a  personal  nature  was  cut  out,  and  all  that  was  stable 
in  our  previous  publications  was  included  in  order  that  descendants 
might  have  the  complete  printed  records  in  one  substantial  book. 

The  list  of  members  which  completes  this  book  is  made  from 
the  last  roll  taken,  and  we  sincerely  hope  that  all  will  remain 
^^  ith  us  for  many  years,  giving  us  courage  to  work  on,  by  their 
help  and  co-operation. 

It  may  interest  the  Maltby  descendants  of  \Mlliam  Maltby 
to  know  that  the  head  of  our  house  of  ]\Ialtby  is  ]\Ir.  Charles 
Eli  Maltby.  This  is  the  oldest  son  of  an  oldest  son  to  have  male 
issue  and  his  line  is:  William  (i),  Daniel  (2),  the  third  son,  but 
oldest  having  male  issue:  Capt.  Joseph  (3),  Joseph  (4),  Rev. 
Joseph  (5).  Milo  (6K  Chauncy  (7),  Charles  Eli  (8),  and  his 
oldest  son  is  Chauncy  H.  (9)  Maltbv,  b.  July  29,  1886. 

The  last  report  of  the  Treasurer,  Feb.  i,  191 1,  follows.  On 
this  (late  we  had  but  $33.28  in  the  bank.  Few  dues  have  been 
received  since,  and  the  expenses  of  stationery  and  stamps  has 
gone  steadily  on  so  that  at  the  present  there  is  practically  no 
mone\-  in  the  treasury.  It  is  intended  to  issue  notices  of  dues  twice 
a  year,  on  January  first  and  July  first,  and  we  trust  that  all  the 
old  members  will  respond  as  promptly  as  possible  as  we  are  sadly 
in  need  of  funds.

From  the  Treasurer's  report  it  will  be  seen  that  ninety-nine 
members  only  paid  dues  while  our  membership  roll  shows  a  list  of 
one  hundred  and  forty-five  names.  Subtracting  the  eight  honorary 
memberships  of  Mr.  Jay  Hayes  Maltby  and  his  family,  the  dues 
of  Miss  Esther  Tapping  Maltby,  which  she  speaks  of  sending; 
$1.00  enclosed  by  a  member  which  was  lost  in  the  mail,  and  two 
members'  names  who  joined  after  February  first,  (consequently 
their  dues  are  not  included  in  the  year  of  1910),  we  find  a  total 


MALTBY— FAMILY  HISTORY— MALTBIE  401 

of  twelve.  This  twelve  added  to  ninet}--nine  paid  memberships 
accounts  for  one  hundred  and  eleven  members.  Consequently  there 
remain  thirty-four  members  who  have  not  as  yet  sent  in  their 
dues. 

We  make  an  especial  appeal  to  the  members  and  ask  that 
they  will  try  and  pay  their  dues  as  promptly  as  convenient  after 
receiving  their  notifications  from  the  Treasurer.  This  will  save 
the  Treasurer  and  Secretary  a  vast  amount  of  time  and  trouble 
and  also  expense.  The  dues  are  so  small  that  out  of  the  dollar 
paid  by  each  member  we  make  not  more  than  eighty  or  ninety 
cents  profit  during  the  year,  as  the  postage  used  for  each  member 
during  the  year  costs  the  Association  at  least  ten  or  twenty  cents. 

We  also  wish  to  notify  members  that  a  formal  note  of  resigna- 
tion will  be  required  if  one  wishes  to  resign.  Also,  where  dues 
are  not  paid  within  one  year,  the  member's  name  will  be  crossed 
ofif  the  books  and  will  not  appear  in  the  membership  roll  till  all 
dues  are  paid. 

We  hope  all  the  members  will  endeavor  to  assist  the  Treasurer 
and  Secretary  in  the  work  they  are  doing  for  the  Association  by 
acquiescing  in  the  above  request. 

The  thirty-four  dollars  due,  with  what  we  have  received  from 
private  sources,  would  enable  us  to  continue  the  English  research 
which  now  is  at  a  standstill,  owing  to  the  very  small  surplus  in 
the  Treasury. 

It  has  not  previously  been  stated  that  all  the  officers  of  the 
Association  pay  their  annual  dues  as  well  as  the  members,  but  this 
fact  should,  we  think,  be  known.  Every  cent  paid  in  to  the 
Treasurer  is  spent  in  furthering  the  general  good  of  our  large 
family,  and  we  trust  that  all  may  feel  satisfied  with  the  work 
done.

THE     FIRST     REUNION     OF    THE     MALTP.Y     FA^IILY 

The  first  Maltby  Family  Reunion  was  held  at  Branford  and 
Indian  Neck.  Connecticut,  on  September  first,  1910 — exactly  two 
hundred  years  from  the  date  of  death  of  our  ancestor,  William 
Maltby,  Esq. 

Those  attending  assembled  at  the  New  Haven  Public  Library 
wearing  a  knot  of  red  and  gold,  the  Maltby  colors,  as  a  badge 
of  identification.  These  were  improved  upon  by  buttons  which 
were  soon  passed  to  all,  having  the  Maltby  coat-of-arms  done  in 
heraldic  colors — the  generous  gift  of  ^Ir.  Wilburt  S.  Maltby  of 
Plainfield,  New  Jersey.  At  quarter  to  eleven  an  open  trolley  was 
taken  for  the  hour's  ride  to  Branford,  and  alas,  in  a  downpour 
of  rain.  The  company  went  direct  to  the  Montowese  House  at 
Indian  Neck,  where  our  ancestor  owned  much  land,  and  held  an 
informal  meeting  opened  by  Rev.  Clark  O.  Maltby,  which  included 
the  recitation  of  poems,  written  for  the  occasion;  addresses,  letters 
from  absent  members,  and  the  singing  of  appropriate  songs.  An 
enjoyable  luncheon  was  served  at  two  o'clock.  The  place  cards 
were  the  gift  of  Mrs.  Lee  Parker  Dean  and  her  son  Mr.  Henry 
Dean.  The  latter  engraved  the  plate  and  Mrs.  Dean  personally 
met  all  expenses  connected  with  getting  the  cards  out,  then 
they  were  colored  by  hand  by  Mrs.  Brown  of  Toledo,  Ohio,  Mrs. 
Hubbell,  and  Miss  Marion  Davenport  Maltbie,  to  all  of  whom 
the   Association   is   most   grateful. 

A  nicely  bound  volume  was  provided  for  all  descendants  and 
guests  to  register  in,  and  at  the  close  of  luncheon  the  group  photo- 
graph which  appears  on  the  opposite  page  was  taken.  The  rain 
having  nearly  ceased  the  party  took  a  car  to  Branford,  where 
the  cemetery  was  visited  and  two  handsome  sprays  of  roses  pro- 
vided by  the  Association  were  placed  upon  the  graves  of  William 
Maltby,  and  on  that  of  his  wife  Abigail.  Mrs.  Cushman,  a  descend- 
ant of  this  third  wife,  Abigail  Bishop,  laid  the  white  roses  upon 
her  grave,  and  Rev.  Clark  O.  Maltby  placed  a  lovely  spray  of 
red  roses  upon  the  grave  of  William  Maltby,  speaking  a  few 
words  of  dedication.  From  the  cemetery  the  little  company  visited 
the  Town  Hall,  examining  the  old  original  documents  in  the  hand- 
writing of  our  emigrant  ancestor. 

Thus  the  eventful  day  drew  to  a  close.  We  cannot  but  ap- 
preciate the  loyalty  of  those  who  were  prompted  to  do  honor  to 
the   day   despite    the    inclement    weather.      Fortv-one    people    were 


MALTBY— FA^IILY  HISTORY-MALTBIE  405 

expected  and  forty-one  came,  although  some  of  these  had  not 
signed  cards  and  some  of  those  who  had  did  not  come.  Had  it 
been  pleasant  the  Reunion  would  surely  have  numbered  over  fifty. 

Of  the  forty-one  present,  thirty- four  were  of  Maltby  blood. 
One  of  the  tangible  results  of  the  Reunion  was  the  addition  of 
thirteen  new  members  to  our  roll. 

The  following  is  a  list  of  those  present.  First  is  the  list  of

namely :  California,  Colorado,  Connecticut,  Florida,  Illinois,  Indiana,  Kan-

Canada  four  provinces  are  represented.  British  Columbia,  X"ew  Brunswick, 
Xova  Scotia  and  Quebec,  while  we  have  one  member  in  Bulgaria  and  an- 
other in  England. 

It  will  also  be  seen  that  our  members  are  of  the  sixth,  seventh,  eighth 
and  ninth  generations.  I  do  not  think  there  is  now  living  any  Maltby  of  the 
fifth  generation,  and  those  of  our  members  of  the  ninth  generation  are 
children,  but  there  are  living  Maltby  of  the  tenth  and  even  the  eleventh 
feneration.
