orii PRESIDENT 
 
 Mr. George E. Maltby. our Prositlent, is the 
 econd child of Lucius and Sarah J. Parks Maltby. 
 3e was born February 18th, 1830, in Fair Haven 
 liow a part of New Haven,) Connecticut. As a boy 
 V[r. Maltby lived at home, going to school and helping 
 lis father with the farm. Later he became clerk in 
 L)r. Parker's drug store, being at the time eighteen 
 ears of age. 
 
 Three years later Mr. Maltby went into the drug 
 business for himself. In May, 1852, he married 
 Elizabeth BroughtOn Maguire. They had two 
 hildren, 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 some time he 
 fjupplicLl 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. Maltby lost his wife and for seven 
 [years was a widower. In 1871 he married Ruth 
 Atwater Bostwick, and to them were born Margaret 
 Atwater, George Er^astus and Lucius Upson, Maltby. 
 
 In 1878 Mr. Maltby and his family left Virginia 
 and went to New York to live, where the northern 
 branch of the oyster business was supervised by him. 
 Mrs. Maltby died in May, 1898, and soon after Mr. 
 Maltby gave up active business and now divides his 
 time between his older daughter, Mrs. Frederick S. 
 Smith of Chester, Connecticut, and his younger 
 daughter. Mrs. William M. Bernard of New York 
 City.

 The Third Annual Report 
 
 The end of January^ nineteen hundred and nine, 
 marks the completion of the third year of life for the 
 Maltby Association, and as we look back upon our 
 beginning with its doubts and fears, its struggles and 
 trials, then glance at our present membership roil, 
 should we not all feel just a bit pleased with the 
 result of our labors? 
 
 In view of the increased membership it seems not 
 unfitting that a few words should appear in Booklet 
 Two which would give members, especially the new 
 members, some slight idea of our history and our 
 work; how we came to exist, and so on. 
 
 In February, nineteen hundred and six, two or 
 three of the Maltby cousins were brought to face 
 with these questions — Who was going to care for the 
 tombstones of the early ancestors? Who was going 
 to preserve the family records? What was to become 
 of the few old relics and Maltby homesteads? Were 
 no photographs to be taken, that these might be pre- 
 served to posterity? and many similar queries. The 
 result of all this w^as that those few undertook to 
 interest other cousins, and to form a Maltby Associa- 
 tion — bound together through the tie of blood, to 
 accomplish these several things.

seceetary's report 14 
 
 There were twentv-seven orginal members— all 
 joining during February and March of 1906. 
 
 At the end of the year our number had grown to 
 forty, and having practiced the strictest economy 
 and contributed from private sources we fouiul we 
 had $34.80 in the Treasury. Certainly not enough 
 to warrant any expenditure, though there were the 
 annual reports to be got out. It was through the 
 kindne&s of our Treasurer, Mrs. Todd, that the&e 
 were furni^^hed wnth no expense to the Association. 
 
 The work of the second year is fully shown in 
 J3ooklet No, 1. Me closed the year with 59 members 
 and $66. 22 in the Treasury.. Again the question of 
 getting out the reports was perplexing us and again 
 were these furnished privately. This time by Mr. 
 Jay Hayes Maltby, editor of the Forman Newe, of 
 Forman, North Dakota. Booklet No. 1 received e.o 
 much praise from the members that any words here 
 would be superfluous. What these booklets did for 
 the Association is lie^t shown by the large increa-^e 
 in membership. We find ourselves at the clo-e of 
 this third year with aboiTt one hundred members, and 
 ^74.77 in the Treasury. 
 
 Our membership roll includes 108 names, but 
 there are seven members in the list who have not as 
 yet paid their dues for 1908. Some of these, we 
 think, have sim^jly neglected to pay, and some very 
 likely may wish to resign. 
 
 We do not wish to urge members to remain in the 
 Association, and yet we dislike to lose any of the 
 cousins. It would be a great convenience if members 
 wishing to resign would formally notify the secretary

 to this effect, and thus simplify making out the 
 reports. 
 
 There are al&o eight members who joined the Asso- 
 ciation in January, and there has not been time as yet 
 to hear from them since they were notified as to their 
 due?. One member paid this year's dues last year,' 
 and two members do not pay, haying-furnished work 
 gratis, which otherwise would have cost the Associa- 
 tion in the neighborhood of fifty dollars. The 
 officers felt that the least return was to extend hon- 
 orary membership to them.

1 8 seceetary's report 
 
 Death has taken several of our kindred from us, 
 and the loss is indeed great, not only to those closely 
 related, but to those who, through letters, had grown 
 to feel a strong personal friendship as well as the 
 blood tie. 
 
 Booklet No. 2 we owe to Mr. Jay Hayes Maltby, 
 who has spared neither time nor money to make it 
 attractive and interesting. The expense of such a 
 booklet is large and with the hope that, he might 
 cover the actual expense of printing and so forth, we 
 have asked fifty cents a copy for them. The booklets 
 will be the same price to non-members as to the 
 meudjers of the Association. 
 
 It is the hope of the officer.s that the day may come 
 when the Association is entirely self-supp )rting, but 
 first we shall have to increase our membership. 
 Concerning this, we should like to make an aj)i)cal 
 to the members: Are you interested enough in the 
 Association to try and ])ring some relative into it? 
 It sounds very like the proposition of one's Sunday 
 school days, yet, what a help if each member could 
 interest only one person. Will you not try to help 
 us to this extent? 
 
 In gathering material for the Booklet, we have 
 endeavored to procure some photographs which would 
 interest all the descendants. 
 
 The views of Maltby, England, and the interesting 
 sketch of a Day at Maltby, by Miss Martha J. Maltby, 
 as well as the reproduction of the Maltby coat-of- 
 arms should interest any of the Maltby name or 
 blood. 
 
 We frequently receive letters asking "Is 
 
 a member of our branch of the family, and if so, h(nv 
 related?" 
 
secretary's report 19 
 
 It is rather a delicate matter to touch upon, but some 
 of the Maltbys have deservedly, made for themselves 
 considerable reputation, and the "lay brothers" who 
 are not so fortunate are justly proud of those who 
 have pushed on in the World's Work. Endeavoring 
 to secure photographs we find that there is at least 
 one very strong Maltby trait, and that is modesty. 
 However, it gives us great satisfaction to have 
 secured a few photographs and some sketches, which 
 we know will be interesting to members. We also 
 wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation 
 to those who for ' 'the sake of kinship were willing to 
 help us in this way. 
 
 In Booklet No. 2 we reproduced a photograph of 
 Rev. Jonathan Maltby, who, so far as we know, was 
 the first person to preserve the family records. His 
 work was amplified by his neice Martha Church 
 Maltby, daughter of Gen. Isaac Maltby (4), who mar- 
 ried Harlow Swain Love. One could hardly state 
 that Mrs. Love was the next person to take up this 
 genealogical work, as Deacon Charles Foote (a de- 
 scendant of Samuel [2] Maltby) who was one year 
 Mrs. Love's senior in age, also labored long and 
 painstakingly to gather the family records and pre- 
 serve them. His efforts are included in " 'The Maltby- 
 Morehouse Family." To all of these three we owe 
 much of the early records of the Maltbys. They gave 
 their best efforts to this work; examined records, 
 . tombstones, wrote countless letters, met with very 
 little help and considerable hindrance — this is the 
 story of nearly all genealogists — but they did their 
 best against many drawbacks, and their best was 
 good. If there were mistakes, and there were and

 always will be in this sort of work, can we not over- 
 look these, and simply be g'-ateful for the vast amount 
 of data left us. 
 
 Tlie present genealogist finds the work progressing 
 always, but far from rapidly. In a way this is una- 
 voidable. Getting records together is a real trial for 
 some people; others have not the time; others mean 
 well, but do not know how to go about it— and lastly 
 there are the "not interesteds." The latter can block 
 a whole branch of the family from having their rec- 
 ords appear in the genealogy, and the genealogist 
 learns that it is useless to expect any reply from them. 
 
 The most important work of the year in the Ameri- 
 can branch was the placing, after years of hard search 
 of Noah Maltby (5) of New York state. We owe the 
 solving of this mystery to Miss Ethel Lord Scofield 
 of West Haven, Conn., (a professional genealogist) 
 who through some extremely clever work proved the 
 ancestry of Noah Maltby (5) back to VA^illiam (1) the 
 Emigrant. The ancestry of the Vershire, Vermont. 
 Maltbys was also straightened out, with the aid of 
 Miss Scofield, making on the whole, a very satisfac- 
 tory progress with the genealogy. 
 
 We also got trace of the descendants of tlie emigrant 
 John Maltby, brother of William; and it gives us 
 pleasure to have one of them, Mr, Maltby Grelston 
 Leach, on our roll of members. John Maltby, the 
 emigrant, is supposed to have been lost at sea about 
 the year 1677. He married about 1671, Mary, 
 daughter of Richard Bryan of Milford, Conn. They 
 had two children, twins. John and Mary, born at 
 New Haven. Conn.. June 1, 1678.

SECRETAEY S REPORT 23 
 
 John Maltby Jr., married Susannah Clark. He 
 was of Southampton, Long Island, and he died there 
 June 27, 1706. (The Association endeavored to 
 secure a photograph of this tombstone, but we fear it 
 will be too late to be included in this report. ) John 
 (2) had only one child who married; this was Mary (3) 
 who became the wife of Judge Hugh Gelston. (Note 
 here the Maltby name dies out in the line of John 
 Maltby, the emigrant.) Hugh (4) Gelston was their 
 tenth child, and his only child was the Rev. Maltby 
 (5) Gelston, whose pictvire we have reproduced on 
 another page. Rev. Maltby Gelston was born July 
 17, 1766, and was ordained April 26, 1797. For 
 forty-five years he was settled in the ministry at 
 Sherman, Conn., where he died Decembei- 15, 1856, 
 aged 90 years. 
 
 We have been fortunate in securing photographs 
 of the old homestead of Rev. Maltby Gelston, his 
 desk, flintlock gun, and study chair. Mr. Maltby 
 Gelston Leach is a great grandson of Rev. Maltby 
 Gelston. 
 
 In the second annual report we mentioned that 
 William (1) evidently had a daughter named Martha 
 (2) and quoted Rev. Jonathan Maltby as our author- 
 ity. Since the report was issued we have had some 
 investigations made of the records at Branford, New 
 Haven and Wallingford. The records are very 
 puzzling and seemingly contradictory and at this 
 date it is not possible to say whether William Maltby 
 did, or did not have a daughter named Martha. 
 
 Recently it was called to ovir attention that the 
 tombstones of William Maltby, emigrant ancestor,

26 secretary's report 
 
 antl of his second wife, Abigail Bishop Maltby, do not 
 now stand in the same i^Uice in the Branford ceme- 
 tery as they did in 1894; and also Mrs. Mai tby's stone 
 no longer stands beside her husband's, but at its foot. 
 This is very much to be regretted, anil the Secretary 
 wrote to the Pastor of the First Congregational |, 
 Church to ascertain where to apply for iid'ornmtion 
 on this subject. The Pastor sent the address of the 
 Sexton, and a letter was written asking for estimates 
 for replacing the stones side by side, and also asking 
 if the stones could be restored to their original plac*' 
 in the cemetery. This last, we fear, is hoptdess, but 
 in the s^jring the stones can be placed in their former 
 position, even if not on the original graves. 
 
 It is with deepest regret that we have to record the 
 deaths of three of our members: Mr. George W. 
 Maltby, Mr. Silas Benjamin Maltbie and Deacon 
 William Maltby. To the bereaved families the Asso- 
 ciation wishes to tender its sincere sympathy. j 
 
 The short biographical sketches following this 
 rej)ort will give our members a little insight into the 
 lives of these cousins, bring us all into closer touch, 
 and strengthen the tie of kinship. 
 
 A word as to the joroposed reunion in Branford on 
 Sept. 1, 1910 — two hundred years from the date of 
 death of William Maltby. 
 
 We are so widely scattered that many of us can 
 not be present at such a reunion, yet there are many 
 descendants who could visit Branford on this date, 
 and to these the following words are addressed: 
 
 It is hoped that all the descendants of William 
 Maltby residing within a short distance of New Haven 
 
seceetary's report 27 
 
 will try to visit the grave of William Malt by on the 
 date above given. It is too early to form definite 
 arrangements for the reunion, but the following is a 
 rough plan: 
 
 The ten o'clock trolley car from the New Haven 
 green would allow one to arrive in Branford shortly 
 before eleven. The ride is a very pretty one, and the 
 fare was, in 1906. fiftt'en cents; it may have been re- 
 duced since. The town hall is open till noon, and 
 here are to be found the early records, with the 
 various deeds, etc., signed by William Maltby, town 
 clerk. In back of the court house is the old academy 
 building, and beyond that the bronze tablet marking 
 the spot where stood the house of the Rev. Samuel 
 Russell, in which Yale College was founded. The 
 cemetery is hardly more than a city square from 
 where the cars stop, and here lies the body of 
 William Maltby, his wife Abigail, and several other 
 early Maltbys. The Association will provide some 
 suitable floral tribute for the graves of William 
 Maltby, and Abigail, his wife, and descendants could 
 bring flowers with which to decorate the graves. 
 
 From the cemetery, the trolley could again be 
 taken down to Indiau Neck (fare five cents, we be- 
 lieve) where lunch could be procured. The Montowese 
 House is a very good summer hotel, and here one 
 could get a very desirable lunch; or basket lunches 
 could be taken with one. as there are various pleasant 
 places along the shore where picnic lunches could be 
 eaten. After lunch there would be time for the 
 descendants to meet socially, and also to hold some 
 sort of exercises suitable for the occasion. 
 
28 secbetary's report 
 
 The Association wonkl undertake to arrange all 
 details for those who desired to go as one united j 
 family; and to those who wished to go in small parties, ' 
 would gladly furnish any informaticni required. 
 
 Itumst be under.-.tood that the reunion is not simply | 
 for members of the Maltby Association, but for • 
 Maltby descendants and their families. ! 
 
 The Secretary requests letters from members in i 
 regard to this reunion with suggestions as to the day's j 
 programme. The Secretary also desires that addi- ' 
 tions and corrections be sent in, whenever mistakes i 
 are found, either in the Booklet or the genealogy. j 
 
 The Association intended to secure ijhotographs of i 
 all their officers for Booklet No. 2, but owing to , 
 illness it was impossible to obtain a picture of onr j 
 second Vice President, Mrs. John P. Victory. Wv \ 
 hope that the next booklet will contain a photograph 
 of Mrs. Victory, who has worked long and untiringly 
 for the Association. 
 
 We trust that al' members will continue to take an 
 interest in the Association and its work, and that 
 their interest may increase as time goes on. May 
 this interest prompt members to S3nd the Secertary 
 photographs of any old Maltby homesteads, portrait?, 
 relics, tombstones, etc,, and copies of interesting doc- 
 uments. Only in this way can we preserve these 
 things to posterity. 
 
 The Association thanks the members for their kind 
 support and encouragement, and wishes each cousin 
 a happy New Year.

 if George W. Maltby at his home at 3:30 o'clock this 
 norning. Among the tributes to his memory by 
 egious of friends, no encomium will ring truer than 
 his. But it is conceded by all . who knew him that 
 )usine3s honesty was only an incidental eharaoteris-

 IDaltbie Davenport Babcock 
 
 Rev. Maltlnt' Djivciiport Bjibeock. 1), D., was bom 
 at Syracuse. N. Y., Au.onst IM, 185cS. He was the 
 eldest son of Henry Babcock and Emily Maria Malt- 
 bie. Her father was the Rev. Ebenezer Davenport 
 Maltbie. son of David Maltbie and Nancy Davcniport 
 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, 
 dautchter of Rev. Henry Davis D. D.. and Haniinh 
 l*lu)eiiix Tredwell. 
 
 There were many jjenerations of the mi^st promi- 
 nent, refined and cnltivated men and women behind 
 Dr. Babcock and he went forth to his life work from 
 an ideal home. His maternal great grandfather and 
 ids grandfather were both Presbyterian clergymen. 
 He was the eldest of seven children, and his mother's 
 widespread religions influence, and her beautifnl life 
 still speak in many of the influential circles of 
 his native city. Here he was educated, taking his 
 classical course at Syracuse University, 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 
 fnjiit rank of his denomination, his first settlement 
 being at Lockport, N. Y. It was not only his brill- 
 iant 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 eheorhil was he always, and' 
 so thoroughly unselfish. His infiuent'e became in! 
 the best sense national. His theology was like his: 
 vocal delivery, simple and direct. It was one scut 
 speaking to another. His prayers voiced the cry ofi 
 a man who wanted help from liis Father. Dr.; 
 Habcock could not do anything just as anyone else; 
 wouUl. "To divide burdens and centralize responsi-' 
 l)ility is th(! ark of accomplishment:'* this was his; 
 rule in doing his varie;l work, and it gave him hisj 
 almost supreme executive ability. 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 wander-, 
 uiii soul to Christ. Often men said: ""Let us geti 
 
 o I 
 
 him u.idar Dr Babcack's influence; he can surely 
 reach him." Dr. Babcock was a very versatile man; 
 exceedingly attractive in phy.sique, pleasant in; 
 inaiiiicr. with a soul that reflected God. i 
 
 Dr. IJabcock 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 hi-; country. He reached the peoploi 
 in so many ways. Hi-^ personal magnetism wasi 
 marvelous. Those who heard him were entranced] 
 and lie was called to speak at all great religiousi 
 gatherings, from one end of the country to the other 
 an<l crowds, young and old. hung upon his lips.i 
 Taught of the Spirit, he revealed to them the open 
 heaven and the message of Jehovah. ; 
 
 Dr. Babcjck never published a book. He lived or 
 sang his thoughts. He was a great lover of musicj 
 played many instruments extremely well, improvised 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL 4 1 
 
 (leliglitfully and also wrote many songs and hymns 
 which have been published and lirfive 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 
 reseml)le those of Emerson. They have been pub- 
 lished in connection with a memorial volume of 
 extracts from sermons and addresses, gathered l)y 
 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 
 New York City were also published. 
 
 What Dr. Babcock's work was in Baltimore it is 
 simply impossible to e.stimate in an article as brief 
 as this or to speak of tlie breadth and reach of that 
 wonderful pastorate iu New York. His actpiaiut- 
 ance was cosmopolitan : and it knew no denomina- 
 tional bond, and was met by a distiaguishci 
 hospitality to w^hich his wife, the daughter of a 
 prominent Poughkeepsie lawyer, added both beauty 
 and charm. What Dr. Babcock was in his home 
 only those who lived with him and loved him, upon 
 whom his devotion was showered can tell. At th<i 
 time of his deatli, at Naples, Italy, May 18, 1901, in 
 his forty-third year, the papers both religious and 
 secular teemed with statements proving in every way 
 liis remarkable power. 
 
 One who knew Dr. Babcock intimately said: ''The 
 only relief in the mystery of his untimely death it 
 seemed to me, was in the fact that his character and 
 work were of such potency that they jnust r(4jroduc<' 
 themselves in the living.

 that gentleness and benevolence of character which 
 purifies and softens the social atmosphere of her sur-

 "My great grandfather, Jonathan Maltbie. 3(1. the 
 picture of who:;e grave accompaiues this sketeli, was 
 the only (diild of Jonathan Jr. and Abigail Holmes 
 Maltbie, born at Stamford, Conn.. December 17, 1744. 
 He moved to Fairfield, Conn., and married 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 Connty'' as ''Colonial 
 No. 4." This house was built in 1766 by Isaac 
 Tucker, who sold it to Captain Maltbie who owned 
 and occupied 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 
 
48 l!IO(41<AHIIK'AI. 
 
 Maltbie's (house) was reserved for a cook house. 
 After the conflagration the inhabitants returned 
 (when the British had gone on board 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 up- 
 side down. In the kitchen in the fireplace hung a 
 large brass kettle filled with their ham^, but they 
 dare not eat them, fearing that they were poisoned, 
 (so they started anew with provision?.)" Captain 
 Maltbie's son William inherited this place and sold 
 it to Jiistin Hobart. The house is still standing 
 today in good conditition. Jonathan Maltbie was 
 1st 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, carrying 28 guns and her crew nund)ered 
 200. Her first engagement under Captain Nicholson, 
 occurred June 2d of the same year; with the "Watt," 
 an English letter-of-mar(pie, under Captain Cvoleharl. 
 She carried ii4 guns and 250 men. The "Watt" was 
 a private vessel with a. cargo of great value, and was 
 especially equipped to fight her way. Tiiis was the 
 first action of any moment that occurred in 1780 and 
 had the reputation of being tlic most obstinate and 
 sanguinary naval battle during the Revolution. Tln^ 
 "Truml)uH" being badly disabled faile 1 to capture 
 the "Watt." although she defeated her. The n 'xt 
 summer. 1781. she left the Delaware, still under 
 C'aptain Nicholson, having been thoroughly equipped 
 as convoy to 28 sail of merchant craft bound for 
 Cape Francois, West Indies. Off the c.ipe, tlie 
 ''Trumbull'" met three British cruisers astern. Two 
 of them, one being a frigate, stood for the •'Trum-

 them. While standing on in this manner, hoping 
 everything from the darkness, which was fast ap- 
 proaching, a gale carried away the "Trumbuirs" 
 fore top 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. H2 guns, one of the vessels 
 ill chase, closed with her and forced her to cond>at, 
 III the midst of rain and t.-mpestuous winds Captain 
 Nicholson found himself ol)lige(l to go to (juarters or 
 lo strike, without resistance. He preferred to do the 
 first, but till' English volunteers on l)oard his ship, 
 instead of obeying onlers, went below, extinguislied 
 lights and secreted themselves. Near half the re- 
 maining men followed their example and Captain 
 Nicholson, could not muster fifty of even the dimin- 
 ished crew he had at the guns. The liattle that 
 followed might almost be said to have l^een fought by 
 the officers. These l)rave men sustained by a party 
 of the petty officers and seamen managed a few of 
 the guns for more than an hour, when the "General 
 Monk," 18 guns, coming up and joining in the tir»' 
 of the "Iris." the "Trumbull"' submitted. The 
 •'Trumbull," after her capture, was towed into New 
 York harbor and condemned. Thougli unsuccessful 
 in her battles, she still fought two of the most famous 
 tiglits that took place on the ocean during the excit- 
 ing times of the Revolution. Jonathan 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. 11th, 1798,

 Many of the descendants have expressed a wish to 
 know something about Brant'ord of the early days, 
 and the following sketch, taken from an essay written 
 by Miss Olive Hall Pond of Branford, gives us a very 
 good idea of the Branford our early ancestors knew. 
 
 "Branford" was ijurchased from the Indians in 
 the year 1638 for the sum of $70 and settled six years 
 later (1644) by forty men and their families, who 
 came from Wethersfield," etc., etc. 
 
 "At first, the chief occupation was farming, but the 
 people soon found the land was not remarkable for 
 its fertility. Branford 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 dii] 
 not have a good harbor. 
 
 Trading necessitated the building of ships. Vessels 
 suitable to transport merchandise to all parts of the 
 world were built where the swimming pool at Mill 
 Plain is now located," etc, 
 
 "It is interesting to picture the town as we find it 
 in the year 1700" (ten years prior to the death of 
 William Maltby. ) "The green was then, as now, the 
 center of the town. Large rocks, boulders, and tall 
 grass completely covered it. 
 
 There was but one church, which stool 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 protection from hostile Indians. 
 
A SKETCH OF BRANFORD 53 
 
 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 (xuilford. Mantowese 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 j east to the river, 
 somewhat similar to Averill &, venue. This was called 
 "Pig Lane." • 
 
 The first post-office with public store combined, 
 stood on the site of the Lock works. Thi? hollow 
 formed the principal business section of Branford. 
 
 The kindergarten, grammar and high school com- 
 bined, consisted of one building, the academy, which 
 now stands, the only remaining relic of former day?. 
 
 It is most amusing to notice some of the customs 
 and restrictions 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 
 
54 
 
 A SKETCH OF BRANFORD 
 
 a man was hired to go among the congregation, dur- 
 ing the service and prevent 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 com- 
 ing all the way from Northford, regularly attended 
 with his wife and 26 children. 
 
 Another law of si)ecial 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 10 o'clock." 
 
 The above interesting sketch of Miss Pond's gives 
 one a very good idea of the town of Branford in the 
 early days — the town as it was when the home of our 
 emigrant ancestor, William Maltby.

 WILLIAM MALTBY, ESQ. 
 
 1645--1710 
 
 Our Emigrant Ancestor. 
 
 In the year 1645, as we learn from his tombstone * 
 our emigrant ancestor, William Maltby, was born. 
 Where he was born, and who were his parents is not 
 as yet known, though recent searches in England 
 give us strong clues towards answering these ques- 
 tions. What these clnes are will be found in another 
 part of this booklet, We know but little of his fami- 
 ly. He had a brother John, probably older, who 
 emigrated to "New England with him. There was a 
 near relative named Kobert Maltby e, as a deed of 
 land of William's is dated Branford, April, 1673, and 
 is witnessed by one Robert Maltbye. 
 
 The "Dwight Strong Genealogy" states on page 
 354, "John Maltby, Sr., came with his brother 
 William, both of the rank of 'gentleman,' from York- 
 shire, England, to New Haven, about 1670." 
 
 It may be that the emigrants were not direct from 
 Yorkshire, but it seems almost certain that they were 
 of the .Yorkshire Mai tbys. If we can prove this fact 
 we shall have established our descent from one of the 
 oldest families in England— descending probably 
 from ' 'Crowned Heads." Hugo de Maltby held lands 
 in England at the time of the Norman Conquest and 
 
 ■s 
 
 A reproduction of William Maltby's Tombstone 
 appears with the secretary's second annual report pub- 
 lished in the latter part of this Booklet. 
 
56 OUR EMIGRANT ANCESTOR 
 
 it is SO recorded in the Doomsday Book. Prior to 
 this, the Maltbys were undoubtedly Danes, and came 
 down in the Viking ships, landing on the northeast- 
 ern coast of England. The name Maltby shows the 
 Danish origin — by meaning town — and the malt may 
 have meant grain, or some think it is derived from 
 mael — mahel — mill. 
 
 What the life of William and John Maltby was in 
 England we can only surmise. They evidently lived 
 near the coast and were probably sea-faring people. 
 In fact it seems very probable that they left England 
 in their own ships, and sailed for the New World via 
 the West Indies. Probably they had relatives living 
 in the West Indies as we know that Christoijher 
 Maltby, alderman of York, buried his wife in St. 
 Croix about the year 1600. Mrs. Christopher had a 
 sister Jane, married in 1604, and it seems to the 
 writer, that they were very probably nearly related to 
 the father of William Maltby. 
 
 We know that our American Maltbys had inter- 
 ests in the West Indies as we fiad in the Inventory 
 of the estate of William Maltby Jr. :

 (Note — Mr. John Morris was probably his father- 
 in-law, as he married Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. 
 John Morris. ) 
 
 As we have been unable to secure facts pertaining 
 
OUR EMIGRANT ANCESTOR 5/ 
 
 to the early life of our emigrant ancestor we have had 
 to resort to deduction, and after many years of study- 
 ing the situation, the following ideas have been woven 
 together. Probably the father of William and John 
 died when they were small, or w^e should have had 
 some information as to their father's name — or we 
 should probably find William or John being called 
 "Junior." From the names of William's children 
 we can form some idea as to what his parents w^ere 
 named. Lst us look at the3e name?: 
 
 1. John Mai thy, b (peihaus named for his father. 
 
 '-'. Jane Malthy. b (perhaps for his wife Hannah or Jane.) 
 
 ;i Mary >laltl)y, b. Hi?'-' " " " mother. 
 
 4. William Maltl)y, b. lt)73, for himself-perhaps liis grandfather 
 n. Elizabeth, l)orn liiTii, (perhaps a near relative, 1 
 
 (). Daniel Maltby, b, 1()79 " " " 
 
 7. Samuel Maltby, b. VMi | (evidently Bishop 
 
 5. Jonathan Maltby, b. 1098 ( family names.) 
 
 (Tne above names are given here so they may be 
 compared with those found in the English research 
 work oil another page.) 
 
 Suppose their father to have died early in life, and 
 po isibly their mother marrie 1 again, it would have 
 left the emigrants with few home ties, aad a natural 
 step would be for them to seek their fortune in the 
 New World, and especially so, if they already had 
 relatives in the West Indies. 
 
 It will be noticed that no dates of birth are given 
 for Johti (2), Jane (2), and this is because we do not 
 know where they were born. They might have been 
 born in England, or the West Indies. Neither do we 
 know where William Maltby was married, but w^e 
 feel very sure that the name of his first wife was 
 Hannah — as we find William and Hannah Maltby 
 together joining the church in Branford in the year 
 1688. Where Hannah Maltby died is not known, 
 though she was living in 1689-90 as she signs as wit- 
 ness a deel of John Yales, at this date. 
 
58 OUR EMIGRANT ANCESTOR 
 
 I Velieve the earliest record found of William 
 Maltby is the birth of his daughter Mary, born in 
 1()72, and recorded at New Haven, Conn. 
 
 The earliest mention of the name as yet found is 
 under date 1664 when "I" (probably J.) Maltbie 
 witnessed a deed for Alexander Bryan. (Alexander 
 Bryan was the grandfather of Mary Bryan, who later 
 married John Maltby the emigrant.) 
 
 It is interesting to know something of the social 
 standing and prosperity of our emigrant ancestor 
 in New England, and this can best be done l)y qiiot- 
 ing various authors: 
 
 ■'Among the men who came to Branford soon after 
 the Newark exodus (about 1666) were Eleazer Stent, 
 William Kosewell, William Maltbie and Samuel 
 Pond. They became especially prominent" — Baldwin 
 in his Brantford Annals (N. H. Hist. Soc. Papers, 
 Vol. Ill, p. 265) and on page 270: 
 
 "The Wilfords, Maultbies, Bakers and Johnsons, 
 that are leading names in Brantford 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. 
 
 Annals of Branford, page 300 : ' 'Large and most 
 substantial houses were erected by the new settlers, 
 some of whom were possessed of considerable pro- 
 perty. This was especially true of the Bartholomews, 
 Maltbies, Wilfords, Greys, Stents, Goulds, Bakers, 
 Barnes and Bladestones. * * * The Hoadley, 
 Maltbie, Rose, Poote and Harrison families present 
 so many names that were prominently identified with 
 
OUR EMIGRANT ANCESTOR 59 
 
 the Church, Town and business during this period, 
 time fails me to speak individually of them." 
 
 There are many other records, private and public 
 to show that theMaltbys were a i^rominent Connecti- 
 cut family. 
 
 William Maltby's public life can best be shown by 
 quoting from the "Pablic Records of Connecticut." 
 In these records his name is variously recorded as: 
 
 Maultbey— Maltbey— Malbye— Maltby -Malby— 
 Malbie and Mai bury.

 The Colony records furnish other interesting rec- 
 ords of William Maltby, but we have not the volumes 
 at hand, nor does space allow further quotations. 
 Enough has been said to show that our emigrant 
 ancestor held a prominent place in the public affairs 
 of his day. 
 
 It is not generally known that the prefix "Esqre." 
 and '"Mr." w^ere not applied in the early days as they 
 are novv, jiromiscuously. In connection with the 
 above Colony records it might be interesting to 
 know something of what a prefix of respect meant in 
 the early days. The following item is taken from the 
 
62 OUR EMIGRANT ANCESTOR 
 
 "Tuttle Family Greuealogy." The title Hon. was 
 entirely unknown in our records until 1685. and sub- 
 sequently for many years was applied only to the 
 Governor, and seldom even to him. The next title 
 was that of Esqre., and meant the same as in England . 
 temip. Elizabeth and James I. 
 
 Mr. Thomas Wells was magistrate for 17 years, 
 deputy governor one year, and was chosen Gov. the 
 2d time before be was distinguished with Esq. The 
 next title was Gentleman, but seems to have been 
 soon discarded in Connecticut. The prefix Master 
 (Mr.) belonged to all gcnitlemen, including those des- 
 ignated by the higher modes of rank. Master corre- 
 sponds very nearly to the English w^ord gentleman. 
 In Connecticut it embraced clergymen, and planters 
 of good family and estate who were members of the 
 Gen. Court, tho.e bred at an university anctiTio^ 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 re- 
 corded by the Secretary with that prefix 200 years 
 ago was a more certain index of the rank of the indi- 
 vidual as respects birth, education and good moral 
 character than any one of the high sounding titles 
 with which many men of no merit whatever, in our 
 day of s-v^-ift 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 stations 
 
OUR EMIGRANT ANCESTOR 63 
 
 who still did not po&sess all the requisite qualities of 
 Master. It was seldom that young men of whatever 
 rank were called Master. Sir was sometimes ap- 
 plied 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.'" — HoUister's Hist, of 
 Conn. 
 
 Palfrey in Hist, of N. Eng. says: 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 Mrs. prefixed to their names. 
 . . . . Wm. Bradford, though at the head of the Bridge- 
 water, Mass., proprietors, a son of the Gov., and 
 himself often Lieut. Gov., was not entitled to "Mr." 
 
 A word as to the "'worldly goods'' possessed by our 
 emigrant ancestor. The inventory of his personal 
 estate was taken November 2d, 1710, and it assets 
 ,£1058, 7s. and lOd. This figure does not seem very 
 large in these days, but an examination of the estates 
 settled about the year 1700 will show that our emi- 
 grant ancestor was, by comparison, wealthy. Among 
 the interesting things mentioned in the inventory are 
 the following: 
 
 . 'Wearine: Apparel — Woolen and linen £23, 4s., 6d. 
 
 A negro man (from the West Indies probably) £45 
 
 A negro woman " " " " £30 
 
 A cupboard with drawers £ 2, 5s. 
 
64 OUR EMIGRANT ANCESTOR 
 
 A ^reat table, 12s. Six leather chairs, 24s. Six other chairB 
 £1, 4s. 2 chairs, 8s. (Note the le.dthfr chairs, and the num- 
 ber of chairs for those days ) 2 pictures, 10s. A greate look- 
 ing Glass, £1. Ivory headed cane, Gs. Silver headed cane, 
 123. Looking glass, Cs. 82 lbs. of ginger, £1, 6s. A chest, 4s. 
 Iron beds and furniture (value not given.) 20 lbs. tobacco, 
 6s., 8d. A quilt, £2, 10s. ($10.00) 3 forks, 2s. Spoons. A 
 tablecloth. Is. 6d, Napkins, Os. Tablecloth, lis. More nap- 
 kins, £1, 16s. Towels, 5s. A great Bible, £3. More books, 
 £1, 10s. A chest s'ith drawers, £3. A desk, 48. Uandle.^tick 
 7s. 6d. Ch.iirs, 16s. Table, 5s. A silver cup, €2, 10s. 
 
 The reading of the above with a little thought will 
 prove to all minds that William Maltby had comforts 
 and even luxuries not common in the time in which 
 he lived. 
 
 The inventory of the estate of William's brother 
 John, taken in 1676 also contains articles of interest. 
 We mention two: 
 
 7 alcumy spoons, 2s. 1 pay re of gloves, 33. 
 
 In the early days very few people had spoons, and 
 we can form some idea of how much they were 
 thought of from the following extract from Alice 
 Morse Earle's "China Collecting in America," p. 43. 
 She mentions how fevv people possessed spoons, and 
 goes on to say, "Extremely elegant people had spoons 
 of alchymy or occjmy, alcaney, alcamy, acoury, aska- 
 my, accamey, as I have seen it spelt, a metal com- 
 posed of pan brass and ar,-enicum. 
 
 Inventory of William (2) Maltby, Jr. estate 
 mentions one or two interesting things, namely: 
 
 Hatt £1, 13s. 
 
 Books 4s. 
 
 A chest of drawers 6, 10s., 30d. 
 
 Seven pair of sheets 15, 
 
 2 pair sheets 4,

 The will of William Maltby, Senior, and the inven-

 large land-owner — some of the lands mentioned are 
 the followmg: "First, I give and bequeath unto my 
 oldest sonn John Maltby all that house and land 
 which I bought for him at Say brook; being all the 
 lands I have there with the appurtenances thereof, of

 Item: "I give unto my daughter Jane Parker the 
 bed, bedstead hangings and furniture thereof in my 
 hall which were her mother's." 
 
 (Note the "which were her mothers— referring to his first 
 wife -as Abigail liishop, born 1(359, married John Tahiiadgein 
 1686 it is evident that John 1, Jane 2, Mary 3, William 4, 
 Elizabeth 5 and Daniel (J were children of a first wife.) 
 
 1 give and bequeath to riiy aforesaid sons John 
 Maltby and Daniel Maltby the remainder of my 
 fourth division lotts beyond Tibb's Hill," etc. 
 
 The inventory of his estate mentions: 
 
 "15 acres of land at Scotch Cap. • 
 
 About 8 acres of salt meadow at the same place, 
 About 12 acres of rough land at Scotch Cap. 
 9 acres of land at Great Plaine. 
 5 acres of land at Indian Neck. 
 3^^ acres of land at Point Lotte. 
 
 2 acres of meadow at Indian Neck. 
 ^4 acre of meadow. 
 
 3 acres of Salt meadow at Peters Bridge. 
 A small parcell of fresh meadow.

 21 acres of cow pasture. 
 
 103 acres of land lying between the bounds of Wallingford 
 and Middletown. 
 
 76 acres of land at Sea Hill. 
 .About 100 acres of land at Sibbes, 
 8 acres of land at Cravery Swamp. 
 
 From the above records we can form some idea as 
 to the prosperity of our emigrant ancestor. 
 
 A word as to the reasons for thinking that the first 
 wife of M^illiam was Hannah 
 
OUK EMIGEANT ANCESTOR 6/ 
 
 The Branford Church records, March 7, 1687-8 
 has the following: 
 
 "IMBODIED IN CHURCH COVENANT — 
 
 Saml. Russell and woiiieu Eliz. Darker 
 
 Wm. Maltby Hannah Maltby 
 
 Eleazer Stone Sarah Blar 
 
 Saral. Pond Pond 
 
 John Frisbie Dorcas Taintor 
 John Taintor," 
 etc., etc. 
 
 Saml. Russell was the minister, and had the first 
 pew in the church in consequence. After the minis- 
 ter the people of highest rank were seated. Why 
 Eliz. Barker is named first among the women we do 
 not know— there is a possibility that she was Hannah 
 Maltby's mother. 
 
 In 1682 we find a curious spelling of the name in 
 the record, that, "Mr. William Mawbley and Noah 
 Rogers are presented for freemen." 
 
 The above sketch, will, we trust, give some idea of 
 the life of William Maltby, "Esqre.," who died in 
 Branford, Conn., Sept. 1. 1710, aged 65 years.

 Old Malthy Homestead, Northford, Conn. 
 
OUR EMIGRANT ANCESTOR 69 
 
 The old Maltby homestead shown in the photograph 
 was the residence of John Maltby (5), born Decem- 
 ber 8, 1768. He was a son of Samnel 3d and Rosanna 
 Coe — and descended from Samuel (2) — the photo- 
 graph of whose tombstone appears on page 70. 
 
 This homestead is typical of the old New England 
 houses, now becoming so rare. 
 
 We are indebted to Miss Mary J. Maltby, of North- 
 ford, for this artistic jDhotograph, as weW as the one 
 of Capt. Bamuers (2) tombstone, and consider that 
 we were x^articularly fortunate in securing this 
 picture of the only old Maltby homestead left stand- 
 ing in North ford. 
 
 The homestead descended to Samuel Chauncey (6)

74 MALTBYS IN THE WORLD S WORK 
 
 Mr. Maltby's work is so well known, and his fame 
 as a hydraulic engineer and an expert on all classes 
 of dredging operations, is so widespread, that any 
 remarks of the writer would be superfluous. 
 
 Dodge and Day, for whom Mr. Maltby is chief 
 engineer, now have the contract for the erection of 
 the largest cableway plant in the world for handling 
 material at Gatun on the Isthmus. 
 
 Mr. Maltby's line of descent is given below: 
 
 1. William Maltby, mar. Hannah 
 
 2. Daniel Maltby, mar. Esther Moss. 
 
 3. Daniel Maltby, mar. Mary Harrison. 
 
 4. Benjamin Maltby (K. W.) mar. Abigail Munger. 
 fi. Nathaniel Harrison Maltby, mar. Betsy Patchin. 
 
 6. Warren Maltby, mar. Chloe Elizabeth Bierce. 
 
 7. FranJi Bierce Maltby, mar. Margaret Ellen McNary. 
 
 Mr. Maltby has two daughters: 
 
 Miss Ruth McNary Maltby and 
 MisB Marion Elizabeth Maltby. 
 
MALTBYS IN THE WOKLD'S WORK 75 
 
 We take pleasure in being able to print for the 
 members, the following short sketch of Miss Margaret 
 E. Maltby, the only woman professor at Columbia 
 University. 
 
 Miss Maltby's degrees are: Oberlin, A. B. (1882); 
 A M. (1891): Mass. Institute of Technology, S. B. 
 (1891); Gottingen University (Germany) Ph. D. 
 (1895.) 
 
 The following fellowships have been held by Miss 
 Maltby: Foreign Scholarship (or Fellowship) from 
 Mass. Institute of Technology two years while in 
 Gottingen '93-'95. The foreign fellowship of the 
 Association of Collegiate Alumnae, '95-' 96. 
 
 Miss Maltby is a fellow of the American Associa- 
 tion for the Advancement of Science, and was private 
 research assistant to President Kohlbrausch of the 
 Physikalisch-Technische Reichsaustalt '93-'99. 
 
 In 1899-1900 Miss Maltby studied at Clark Univer- 
 sity with Professor Webster; for four years and a 
 half she taught at Wellesley College ; one year at 
 Lake Erie College and eight years at Barnard, 
 
 At present Miss Maltby is Adjunct Professor in 
 charge of the Department of Physics of Barnard 
 Columbia University — whicli post she has held since 
 the summer of 1903. 
 
 We regret exceedingly that we were not fortunate 
 
 enough to secure a photograph of Miss Maltby, as we 
 
 know all the members would be interested to see 
 
 their kinswoman, who has made so brilliant a record 
 
 'in the world of science.

 Cbe Cnfliisb Research. 
 
 Early in tlie year the Association took steps to start 
 the research work in Enii;lan(l. Three relia])le persons 
 were recomnieiuled and alter some correspdiHlencf i( , 
 seemed best to give the task to Mr. (lerahl Fother- ^

 For this sum we received abstracts of Maltby wills

 These wills have been carefully gone over, and wey ^

82 THE ENGLISH RESEARCH 
 
 Having found the above pedigree which seemed to 
 be the one for which w^e were seeking, we sent live 
 shillings to the Vicar of East Retford to search the 
 parish register for the birth of William, son of John 
 Maltby. We received the following: 
 
 Baptism solemnized in the Parish of East Retford 
 in the County of Nottingham in the year of our Lord 
 one fhousand six hundred and forty-four — 
 
 "William, ye <oun of John Maltby: March 16." 
 
 The above is a true copy of the Baptismal Register 
 of the Parish aforesaid extracted this 31st 'day of 
 July in the year of our Lord one thousand nine 
 hundred and eight. 
 
 By me: John Twaits Mumford, 
 
 Vicar. 
 
 Of course this date is 1644-45, or new style 1645 — 
 the EXACT year in which our ancestor William was 
 born. (See tombstone illustration in latter part of 
 this l)ooklet. ) 
 
 Suppose for an instant that the William, son of 
 John of East Retford and William the emigrant are 
 one and the same, and then notice the names in the 
 English pedigree and the names of the emigrant's 
 children. We find William born in 1644-45; we find 
 he has an older brother John (it has always been 
 supposed that John the emigrant was older than his 
 brother William.) We find a younger brother Ro- 
 bert, who would have been twenty-five or tw^enty-six 
 years of age when the Robert Maltbye witnessed the 
 deed in Branford for William in 1673. Also if he 
 was a brother of John and William he evidently died 
 unmarried or returned to England, and this would 
 account for the confusion in the tradition — some de- 
 scendants claiming, "two brothers came from Eng- 
 land.'' some that "three brothers came.'" We find 
 
THE ENGLISH RESEARCH 83 
 
 the emigrant William naming his oldest son John — 
 for John his father — his oldest daughter was Jane — 
 named for his sister — then Mary, named for his 
 mother — Elizabeth named for his sister, and Daniel 
 named for a favorite cousin. William wa? of course 
 named for himself. 
 
 The fact that his father John die! when the 
 children were all so young would explain why there 
 is no record as to who their father was. Their uncle 
 Robert an 1 his family were evidently their only 
 Mnltbi/ relations, and as Robert's will is proved in 
 16(i8-5. his death broke one of the last home ties, and 
 shortly after we find William in New England. Not 
 only did their uncle Robert die, but his oldest son 
 William was dead in 1666-7. It is noteworthy that 
 this cousin William left only five pounds to his 
 brother Robert, wdio was next in age, and only twenty 
 shillings to the next brother John, and gave the bulk 
 of his property to the yoangest brother Daniel and 
 his sister Barbara. Also we note that after the death 
 of Daniel and Barbara the property is left to his 
 cousin Wm. Stokeham. It would seem that William 
 did not expect Daniel and Barbara to marry. We 
 had the marriage register at East Retford examined 
 to see if. the marriage of William Maltby was recorded 
 in this parish —but no such record occurred. As 
 William received in his father's will, lands in Soning- 
 thorpe and Little Coningham, Co. Lincoln — it is 
 possible that he may have resided in Lincoln. Or he 
 may have lived with his uncle Robert in Bawtry,

 After receiving the data given above we were 
 anxious to press on with the work. To do this we 
 needed — and need — considerable money. Genealogi-

 cal work is expensive enough iu the States, but very 
 much more so in England, where there is a fee to be 
 paid for everything. For example, to examine a 
 church register yon pay one shilling for the first year 
 and sixpence for each year after. This is but one 
 out of many instances. 
 
 The Association had expended all we felt it could 
 afford for the present, and as money had to be ob- 
 tained, circular letters were issued, stating our needs 
 and giving the descendants the opportunity of aiding 
 in the good work if they cared to do so. 
 
 We wish to thank most heartily those who resjjond- 
 ed so generously and Millingly to our appeal, and 
 whose names are given in the financial statement on 
 page 85. 
 
 The officers hope and expect the day will come 
 when our memtership will be sufficient to cover all 
 expenses; w^ieii the booklets will be paid for by the 
 Association; the English research be entirely financed 
 from the treasury. But that day is not yet, and al- 
 though we have received such welcome assistance we 
 need more — and we are going to need more. 
 
 We do not wish to beg or to urge contributions, 
 but we know there must be plenty of descendants who 
 could givea check for this fund and never miss it. 
 
 It has been decided to keep the English fund a 
 permanent fixture, with the hope that from time to 
 time descendants will feel like sending some contri- 
 bution. 
 
 One member wrote as follows : ' 'I would suggest 
 that we all pay |1 a year for the work 'till 1910 when 
 we meet in Branford and learn the results." This 
 would be a great help of course, and we thank the 
 member for the suggestion. However, we fully realize 
 
THE ENGLISH RESEARCH 85 
 
 that there are plenty of Maltby descendants who do not 
 care whether or not their English ancestry is found 
 and would prefer to spend their dollars in other ways. 
 Our plea for help is not to them, but to those who 
 profess interest, and are abundantly able to aid in 
 this work. 
 
 Let us hope that the New Year will bring many 
 subscriptions to this fund from those who have not 
 already subscribed.

THE ENGLISH RESEARCH S'^ 
 
 The said pedigree of the Yorkshire Maltbys, 
 giving sixteen generations, and dating ])ack to William 
 de Maltby, who was living A. D. 1100, is the line to 
 which we think we belong. The male line died out 
 in this particular pedigree with Christopher (16) but 
 this chart only deals with the line of the oldest sons 
 or where the oldest sons line died out, with the next 
 male heir in succession. Possibly we shall find that 
 our line of descent branched with Robert (11) as this 
 name seems to have come down in the family of our 
 emigrant ancestor, and in the Bawtry Maltby family.

 Central in the fair design 
 Hung the Sorrowing Man divine; 
 Near him, gazing, knelt or stood

 Next, with colors interchanged. 
 Holy emblems 'round were ranged.

 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. 
 
 Up through Maltby's dusty road 
 Cromwell and his pikemen strode — 
 Six and twenty hundred strong — 
 Roaring forth a battle-song; 
 Who, in march i*ng 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." 
 (jrlancing at a mark to strike. 
 Then a j)ikeman raised his pike. 
 Drew it back half its length. 
 Sent it whizzing through the air, 
 Sped it with a pious ijrayer, 
 Winged it with a holy curse, 
 Bfirbed it with n Scripture verse;

 Curving downward, tiying fast 
 
 Where the streaming rays were cast; 
 
 Flashing from the shaft each hue

 Plunging to the bridal pair, 
 
 While they yet were bent in prayer;

 Neither words nor tears would come; 
 'Till at last with groan and shriek,

 O sweet body: turned to clay —

 Lift its wings and fly to thine: — 
 Wed lis in Thy Heavens, O Lord! 
 Rose he then and drew his sword, 
 Braced his hilt against the wood

 Stiffened every limb and joint. 
 Clenched his hands about the blade;

 Cast himself upon his death.

 The above poem was cut out of a New York Inde- 
 pendent, we believe, in 1867 or 68, by Miss Martha J. 
 Maltby. Above the poem "Maltby Chapel," the 
 following was written : ' 'The Sexton's Tale and Other 
 Poems,'' being the first collected edition of the poems 
 of Theodore Tilton, have been issued by Sheldon and 
 Co., New York, in a beautiful volume on tinted paper 
 with ornamental vignettes. A few of these poems 
 were originally published in the Independent, a few 
 others in the Atlantic Monthly ; three in separate 
 holiday brochures; and the remainder make their 
 first appearance in the present volume. Of the latter 
 the following may be taken as a sample or specimen." 
 
 It has been suggested that Maltby Chapel was in 
 Roche Abbey — two miles south-east of the village of 
 Maltby, but in stanza three, the line, "Up through 
 Maltby's dusty road"' would suggest that the Maltby 
 Chapel referred to, is the one. now restored, in Maltby.

 A Visit to Maltby, West Riding, Yorkshire, 
 England, Aug 14, 1901. 
 
 By Miss Martha J. Maltby. 
 
 When in York, in 1885, a gentleman remarked upon 
 introduction, "There is a Parish in Yorkshire by 
 your name." I was at once all attention, but suc- 
 ceeded 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 re- 
 marked upon learning my name, "My first living was 
 the imrish of Maltby and I remember it with pleas- 
 ure." But our ways parted before I could learn 
 much more, or more helpful knowledge as to how to 
 tind 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 Durham and with the opportunity of questioning 
 the learned archfeologist. Canon Greenwell, tlie 
 President of the British Archaeology Society, and he 
 too referred ;to the parish in connection with my 
 name, 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 desired information concerning 
 the M-av. 
 
96 A DAY AT MALTBY 
 
 A few days later my friend and travelling com- 
 panion and I broke our journey southward, at Dou- 
 caster, took a train westward for a few miles, leaving 
 it atCarrisboro for a seven mile drive southward from 
 that station for Maltby. Let me note in passing that 
 Carrisboro is known for its well preserved Norman 
 tower of the castle which Sir Walter Scott makes the 
 scene of the tournament in "Ivanhoe," which Re- 
 becca reports to the Knight. The short wait for our 
 trap and driver, gave us the opportunity to look at 
 the tower. 
 
 Unfortunately a drizzling rain set in as we started 
 for Maltby which is situated up a valley from Carris- 
 boro 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 dis- 
 tance. The road wound along between stone walls 
 and English hedges and fertile farms, growing wheat, 
 barley and turnips, and with pasturage for cattle and 
 sheep, lay on both sides of the way. The farm houses 
 had the appearance of comfortable pro.5perity 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. 
 
 The village school had just closed for the day as 
 we drove through Maltby village to the cliurch whose 
 spire w^e had seen in the distance. To our driver's 
 (question of "where he should take us?" we had re- 
 sponded, ''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 Lyncbgate, 
 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 church yard 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 organ- 
 ist and some of the leading parishioneeis 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 ani 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 win- 
 dows. 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 work- 
 men used powder to blow them up. The tower's 
 first story is some thirty or forty feet in heighth. 
 The second one is only some over a third as high, and 
 has small, narrow windows on three sides. The third 
 is different, and its double windows look like Norman 
 work. This story ends with a pannelled 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 
 Green well 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 parchment and were mildewed with 
 age. I thought I coiild decipher ont; date as 1609 
 but I am hot sure. 
 
 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 th-e last sub- 
 ject he would hardly be authority. He showed us 
 some very old carved stones, one of which issujiposed 
 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 church yard 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 work- 
 men 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 occu- 
 pied a small plot of ground in the heart of the town. 
 
 The houses of the village are simple and plain but 
 comfortable with the cleanly air so common in Eng- 
 land. The streets were narrow but clean. The whole

 town looked like a conservative old English place, as 
 it is, with 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 was grow- 
 ing late and we had a train to catch in Carrisboro for 
 owY return and our journey on to Lincoln that night. 
 
 Some weeks later, in the Library of the British 
 Museum I found what 1 copied there and give with 
 this for your information. 
 
 It was nearly dark when we set down at the rail- 
 way 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 iJarish. 
 Whether there is any connection between it and the 
 family name, who can tell us? 
 
 Editor's note:— We feel greatly indebted to Miss 
 Martha J. Maltby for her fascinating article on 
 Maltby, and grateful for every bit of observation and 
 study which she has given us in this interesting 
 ' sketch of her day at Maltby. The Genealogist would 
 like to add one item concerning the last sentence 
 Hugo de Malebisse (Latin of Maltby) held land in 
 Ebor (Yorkshire) at the time of the Norman Con- 
 (juest, and his lands are recorded in the Doomsday 
 book. Many years ago the British Consul at Brus- 
 sels, Belgium, was a Mr. Maltby. This Mr. Maltby 
 took much interest in the Maltby famity and spent 
 all his spare time in the British Museum looking up 
 the family records. After years of such research he 
 Sciid he was convinced that all the Maltbys descended 
 from Hugo de Malebisse. from whom the village of

 Maltby, Yorkshire, took its name. 
 
 Whether we can all prove our ancestry back to this 
 Hngo is quite another matter, but there can be little ■ 
 doubt that the village of Maltby took its name from , 
 Hugo de Maltby, and we believe we are correct im 
 thinking Maltby is the land recorded in the Dooms- 
 day Book. 
 
 There are several villages in Great Britain named 
 Maltby — five or six are in England, one or two are ini 
 Ireland. So far as we can learn Maltby, Yorkshire, 
 is the oldest of these, and evidently the English 
 ancestry of the Maltbys begins here.

 Division of Riding iu the Rotterham union and 
 county court district and rural deanery, arch deanery 
 of Sheffield and diocese of York. 
 
 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 chancel, nave, aisles, south 
 porch and western tower with spire containing three 
 bells. 
 
 There are several memorial windows, lecturn, organ 
 and lynchgate of carved oak and a lynch-stone which 
 were given by Miss Crossley and Miss Mary Crossley

 in 1880. The lynchgate and stone were ,2;iven in 
 memory of their mother. 
 
 The register dates from 1678 (see foot note) and is 
 in good condition. The living is a vicarage, average 
 tithe rent charge 58 pounds, net yearly values 90 
 pounds, including 30 acres of glebe with residence is 
 the gift of the Earl of Scarborough. The poor estate 
 produces 28 pounds yearly. In the village stands an 
 ancient stone cross. 
 
 Two miles S. E, are the ruins of the once magnifi- 
 cent Abbey of Roche or de Ruije, founded in 1147 by. 
 - Richard de Busti and Richard Fitz-Turgis for monks 
 of Cistercian order, and dedicated to the blessed Vir- 
 gin Mary. A natural iDhenomenon heightened by art 
 probably induced the monks to settle in this rocky 
 limestone valley. A fracture in the rocks bearing 
 some resemblance to Our Savior on the cross was 
 ^ held in great reverence during the whole period of 
 "the existence of the abbey. Henry Crandall the 2Sth 
 and last abbot surrendered the abbey with 17 monks 
 and a yearly revenue 271 pounds-, 11 e hillings and 
 four pence to Dugdale. Henry VIII granted to Wm. 
 Ramesden and Thomas Valasor the ruin of the once

 The above pedigree ends here, as the male line 
 evidently died out. The pedigree shows that the 
 Maltbys were a prominent family and t he intermar- 
 riages were with some of the oldest and best families. 
 It will be observed that they founded several abbeys 
 and priories. An English clergyman told the writer 
 that the sheaf of wheat in the Maltby coat-of-arms 
 showed that the family had been large holders of 
 church lands.

 Genealogical Queries. 
 
 Can any member furnish any data irhich would aid the 
 genealogist to -place the ancestry of one William Maltby, 
 )orn about 1819 in the vicinity of Rochester? 
 
 The above William Maltby left home o*ving to what 
 le considered unmerited punishment, and never 
 spoke of his family, so we have not slight clues to 
 lelp us. William Maltby was 6 feet, 2 inches tall, 
 lad dark brown hair and red mustache; was finely 
 Klucated, and often spoke of Rochester. N. Y. He 
 dso mentioned being in Cincinnati one time and see- 
 ng relatives in a store, but as they did not recognize 
 lim he did not )nake himself known. We know he 
 lad a sister Mary, for when his oldest daughter was 
 3orn he wished her named Mary for a dear sister. 
 Eis other children were named Clayton, George, 
 Ellen and Anna. Tliis might furnish some clue as to 
 lis family. 
 
 About 1840 Mr. Maltby settled in Madison. Ind., 
 11 the mercantile business. As a young man he 
 ;aught school. He attended the Presbyterian church 
 md was a great Abolitionist. He married in 1850, 
 md died in 1861. 
 
 Any date which might aid us in tracing the ances- 
 try of this William Maltby would be gratefully 
 received by the genealogist.

 What became of his daughter Abigail (r5). b. June

 What became of his daughter Sarah (3), b. July 5,

 What became of his daughter Mary (8), b. March

 We wish to call the attention of Jonathan's (2) 
 descendants to an item in the Maltby (renealogy 
 which was furnished by some descendants of Jona- 
 than (2), to be found on page 84 of the "Maltby 
 Genealogy" published in 1895 by Mrs. George Ells- 
 worth Maltby. We think there must be a mistake 
 here. Note the two Davids — David (3), born 1727-iS, 
 and then David (3) l)orn 1748. 
 
 As David (8). son of Jonathan (2) married Harah 
 Holly in 1749. he must be the David (3) born in 
 1727-8. Consequently David born 1748 would hardly 
 be a brother. Should he not be David (4) son of 
 David (3) and S;irah Holly. Can anyone solve this 
 problem V

 URST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE 
 MALTBY ASSOCIATION. 
 
 In February, 190B, a few M^iltby descendants 
 started n Maltby Asfeoeiation. As yet we h<ave not 
 not secured .a President; the one to whom this w^s 
 •oif'ered said that while he fully appreciitted the 
 honor, pre*s of other matters compelled him todecline 
 ithe ofEer. 
 
 The first vice presidency wa^ accepted by Mr. W. 
 H., Maltbie, Professor of Math-ematic.s at the 
 Woman's College of Baltimore, Marj^land. and that 
 ■of second vice president by Mrs.. John P. Victory, 
 of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Mrs. James Willey Todd, 
 of New Havea was appoint-ed treasurer, and the 
 •otfices of secretary and genealogist were given to 
 Miss Dorothy Lord Maltby, now Mrs. Clarence 
 Verrill. 
 
 The secretary reoeiv^l niany enthusiastic replies 
 and promises of membersliip, but owing probably to 
 various causes, dues were nut always remitted, so 
 t,hat at pre.ent our paying memberchip numbers 
 fortv. A list of these members, their addresses,, 
 dates of joining, and lines of descent, is enclosed. 
 
 As each niemlier paid One Dollar., it will be seen 
 that we received Forty Dollars (S40.00); out of this 
 we have had to pay for stamps and stationery in 
 .sending out circulars to -descendants, etc., Five and 
 20-100 Dollars ($5.20), which leaves a balance on 
 hand of Thirty-four and 80-100 Dollars ,($84.80), as 
 per the treasurer's report given below: 
 
 TREASriiER's REPORT: 
 
 Received in dues . . $40.00 
 
134 
 Expenses 5. 20 
 
 Balance $34.80 
 
 The account is kept with the Second National 
 Bank of New Haven, Conn., and we trust that it will 
 soon increase to a large amount. 
 
 At present we have not enough to employ a good 
 and reliable genealogist to work on connecting the 
 American and English lines. However, the 
 association's genealogist has placed several queries 
 in prominent historical magazines in England, 
 offering a reward of a small sum ($10.00) for 
 information concerning the parentage of our 
 emigrant ancestor, William Maltby. born in 1645. 
 A notification of the Maltby Association was placed 
 in the "New England Historical and Genealogical 
 Register" and in the "Boston Transcript" with 
 requests for genealogical data from any Maltby 
 descendant. 
 
 The tombstones in the Brandford cemetery do not 
 as yet require repairing. The stone of William 
 Maltby is the second oldest in this burial ground, 
 having been placed there in 1710. It is a handsome 
 stone for those dajs. 
 
 It has occurred to us that possibly some of the 
 descendants might wish photographs of some of 
 these stones. Besides that of William Maltby, there 
 is one of his second wife, Abigail Bishop; of 
 William's son, Daniel (who married Esther Moss), 
 and that, I think, of Captain Samuel and his wife, 
 Elizabeth Barker. Mr. George E. Meigs, of New 
 Haven, Conn., takes excellent photographs of tomb- 
 stones, old homesteads, family heirlooms, etc., and at 
 very reasonable rates. His price, we believe, is 25 
 cents for the plate, and 10 cents for each negative 
 
 1 
 ■ 
 
 i 
 
135 
 
 — so after the plate is secured copies can be had for 
 LO cents, or a trifle more, to pay for his expenses to 
 md from Branford. 
 
 The genealogical work has met in most cases with 
 prompt and willing response, and yet there is much 
 lata descendants could send in, and to make the 
 ¥ork anything like complete we need the family data 
 io far as is known, of each descendant. 
 
 Requests are frequently received for copies of 
 ^'^illiam Maltby's will, for the inventory of his estate, 
 'or copies of long English pedigrees, etc. Descend- 
 mts can procure these by paying the cost of having 
 hem copied. 
 
 This Association does not pretend to be a business 
 proposition, in any way. It's purpose is to keep the 
 'amily together in a friendly way; to promote a 
 •eeling of kin-ship, and to keep the memory of our 
 Maltby ancestors fresh in our minds. 
 
 We need the interest an 1 help of every descendant 
 md should be glad of any sug;^estions from members 
 [or improving the Association. 
 
 Owing to various causes the secretary has not been 
 able to notify many descendants, of this Association, 
 =ind indeed it is hard to ascertain the names of those 
 tiaving Maltby blood. It would be a great help if 
 Bach member could interest even one other descen- 
 dant in the Association, or if they would send names 
 and addresses of kinsmen, to the secretary. 
 
 We hope for the continued help and interest of our 
 present members, and that the year 1907 will enroll 
 many new names upon our tablets.

 THE MALTBY ASSOCIATION-SECRETARY'S 
 SECOND ANNUAL REPORT. 
 
 The year ending January thirty-first, nineteen 
 hundred and eight, has been a busy and very success- 
 ful one in so far as the Maltby Association is con- 
 cerned. 
 
 Shortly after our first annual report was issued the 
 Association was fortunate in securing for President, 
 Mr. George E. Maltby of Philadelphia, Pa. 
 
 It seemed particularly fitting for Mr. Maltby to 
 occupy the position, inasmuch as his grandfather, 
 the Rev. Jonathan Maltby (4) was the first one of 
 the family, so far as we know, to take an interest in 
 the family genealogy. It is largely through old 
 letters and papers left by the Rev. Jonathan Maltby 
 that we have been able to prove the descent of various 
 Maltby s. 
 
 Quite a few new names will be foun 1 upon the roll 
 of membership, which is gratifying, as new members 
 are what we most need. The members have taken 
 much interest iu the work of the As 5ociati :)n this year 
 and we wish to thank those who have aided us in any 
 way. 
 
 During the year it was discovered that thern are in 
 the United States descendants of two other William 
 Maltbys— contemporary, or nearly so, with our 
 emigrant ancestor William (1 ) who was born in 1645. 
 
 One branch is represented by Mrs. Edwin M. Blake 
 (a member of tlie Association) who is descended from 
 William Maltby, born in 1641; who married Jane, 
 daughter of George Brough, of Shelton, Nottingham, 
 England. Oct. 81st. 1682. He died Nov. 1st. 1718, 
 
138 
 
 at Orstoii, Notts., Eug. We note the similarity in 
 the names of their children with those of William (1) 
 of Branford, Conn., namely: William, Mary, George, 
 Ann, Thomas, John, Charles, Elizabeth. 
 
 From William and Jane Brough Maltby descended 
 Edward Maltby, born April 6, 1770; Bishop of Chi- 
 cester, 1881, the last of the Prince Bishops of Durham, 
 183f), and we learn on good authority, that he was 
 offered the Archbishopric of Canterbury. Edward 
 Maltby, upon applying in 1829 to the Herald's 
 College for a grant of arms states that his family 
 came from Nottinghamshire and before that from 
 Yorkshire. A colored copy of the arms granted him 
 is given in the "Miscellaner, Gen. and Heral, II 
 Series 1884 and 1885," which is as follows: "Argent 
 on a bend gules between a lion rampant and a cross 
 pattee, of the second three garbs or.'' This is the 
 arms of the Yorkshire Maltbys, excepting for the 
 cross and lion which have evidently been introduced 
 for a difference. 
 
 The other branch of the family we referred to, 
 descends from William Maltby Jr. and his wife Mary 
 Rhodes, who were early converts to Quakerism and 
 emigrated to America in 1698. They were from 
 Orston, Nottinghamshire, England. 
 
 At present we have no members representing this 
 house, but it is hoped that as time advances both the 
 above houses may be well represented, in England as 
 well as the States, for we are all working for the 
 same object, namely, to establish our English ances- 
 try back to the time of William the Conqueror. 
 
 We wish descendants of these two houses to know 
 that any dues paid in by them will be used only for 
 
 II 
 
13^ 
 
 research work in England on their own lines. Should 
 enough of these descendants care to join us in our 
 work it would seem advisable for them to appoint 
 their own secretaries and treasurers. 
 
 We hope that ultimately we may be one big family, 
 the tie that binds us together the strong bond of 
 blood. 
 
 Some English work has been done this year through 
 the courtesy of a friend, a professional genealogist, 
 wl:o offered his services, and would only accept pay- 
 ment for traveling expenses. 
 
 It was thought advisable to prove definitely, 
 w^hether or not we descend from the Mawbeys of 
 Norfolk (later of Surrey and Leicester) whose 
 pedigree appears later in this report. Various 
 people have written the secretary that the name 
 Mawbey had nothing in common with Maltby; 
 on the other hand well known etymologists have 
 said it was the same. We quote our authority for 
 thinking the latter may be correct: "The 
 Baronetage of England or the History of the 
 English Baronets and such Baronets of Scotland as 
 are of English families" by the Rev. William 
 Betham. "Vol III, p. 322, 282, Mawbey of 
 Botleys, Surrey, Created Baronet June 30, 1765. 
 Name - Maw^tebey, Maultby- Mauteby- Mawbie- 
 Mawby- Mawbey. Family took their name from the 
 village of Mawtby in Co. Norfolk.' 
 
 Reasons which we can not explain at length 
 seemed to make it expedient to ascertain if we 
 descend from the above house. At the present 
 writing the data from England has not been received.. 
 
 Through the ' 'International Geological Directory" 
 
140 
 
 recently published much valuable information, with 
 suggestions as to future research in England have 
 been received, and altogether the lookout is brighter j 
 towards making the desired connection than at any ■ 
 previous time. I 
 
 The wotk on the Genealogy progresses as rapidly i 
 as possible considering the difficulty in obtaining j 
 records. We can not urge the members too strongly j 
 to send in their own family records down to the last i 
 descendants. Many have not done this, and it j 
 would be a pity to have their lines incomplete when 
 the genealogy is published. 
 
 An interesting discovery has recently been made, 
 namely: that William Maltby (1) had nine children 
 instead of eight, as was supposed. For this infor- 
 mation we are indebted to an old letter written by 
 Kev. Jonathan Maltby, dated "April 21, 1848" in 
 which he writes: "If Long Life is a Blessing, my 
 Ancestors, Parents and Contemporaries, have been 
 favored. Martha Maltby, my Father's (Benjamin's) 
 (B) Aunt was twice married. Mr. Stent of Branford 
 and Deacon Peck of Wallingford. At her funeral the 
 bell tolled 100 as I heard in my boyhood. My great 
 aunt lacked a month or two of a 100 years." Hence 
 his great aunt was William Maltby' s (1) daughter. 
 
 i 
 
 For an interesting account of New Haven and Yale 
 at the time of th6 Revolution, we are indebted to the 
 Rev. Jonathan Maltby (4). We print a copy of it, 
 knowing it will be of great interest to many. The 
 part the Rev. Jonathan (4) took in events of those 
 times, makes his descendants eligible to all Patriotic 
 Revolutionary Societies.

 Maltby Place, April 21, 1848. 
 BiRTH-day, of my 90th year. 
 
 At war with sin, heart from the world full-riven, 
 aged and weary, the soul longs for heaven. 
 With one or two exceptions, I have out-lived all 
 
 my contemporaries, 
 relatives and friends.

 'I am oldest of the 
 three. The former 
 Treasurer of dear 
 Yale, the Venerable 
 Deacon Beers, is 
 several years my 
 senior. 
 
 More than three 
 score years ago— three Brothers, in good health, were 
 iaily looking and expecting to see me sink into the 
 3;rave. I was struggling with a violent cough and 
 disordered lung3. But, I remain a monument of 
 mercy. ' 'a wonder to many! a wonder to myself!" 
 In my 90th year — 68d year of wedded life. Read, 
 and write, more, than in any former time without 
 the aid of glasses. I am the only survivor of my

 living of her Father's (Note 2) family, and is closing 
 her 85th year.

 days that "tried men's s^mlt^" — in time of the 
 Kevohitioii. A war spirit prevailed in all the old 13 
 — Patriotism, warmed the hearts of the free born 
 sons of Yale. Fired with the news of the death of 
 their conntrymen at Lexington, 100 of her sons 
 marshaled for fight, rnsh 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 tight liimV' 
 
 The upper classes, in the interval of studies, are 
 on the lower green (Note 8), with their music, 
 practicing, marching, maneuvering, * '■^ * Soon 
 after my acquaintance with almn mater, Col. Ira 
 Allen from Vermont, brought the good news of the 
 capture of the fort of 8t. John's — a thrill of joy 
 pervades the city and the college. Camion are 
 ordered out, 18 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 dispersed 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 ofiice and took 
 charge of the seminary. July, 1779, Tryan and 
 Traitor Arnold with three or four thousand British 
 troops enter N. H. Night before at 9 o'clock an 
 
 
143 
 
 arm was fired, again at 1, which put the town in the 
 most consternation. That night and next day 
 diibiting such excruciating distress among the 
 omen and children as I hope and pray I may never 
 !;ain witness, 
 
 The students request the Selectmen of the town to 
 ruish them with arms to meet the enemy — but are 
 :)t able. 8 of my class obtain arms and go out with 
 apt. Hillhouse and the Guards. David Austin and 
 lizur Goodrich are wounded, Austin brings in a 
 ■itoner. After Rev. d. D. Austin. Hon. Elizur 
 oodrich w^as a captive and Dr. Nesbitt pronounces 
 s wound mortal. After being one night in town 
 Ley cross next morning to East Haven. While in 
 wn they burn buildings, destroy house furniture, 
 erchants goods and groceries, and do all the 
 miage that they could well do. The distress they 
 ade I will not attempt to describe. On Tuesday I 
 as one of a reconnoitering party on Ea:t Haven 
 eights where balls were whistling constantly, but 
 D "music for me.'' A cannon ball took off all upper 
 irt of a Mr. Pardee's head and several were 
 ounded. We have the pleasure to witness this 16th 
 Aug. that the wound of the Hon'l Elizur Goodrich 
 as not mortal — with heartfelt joy we behold him one 
 the happy- alumni." (Here follows a short genea- 
 gical sketch to which we previously referred.)

 Tiie As80ciatioii would Le very glad if (U'sceudnnts 
 Avould send copies of interesting letters or documents 
 XJertaining to the family to the Secretary. We also 
 desire inscriptions from old Maltby tombstones, 
 l^hotographs of individuals, homesteads, relics and 
 heirlooms — anything which would make the Maltby 
 genealogy more complete and attractive. 
 
 We also hope to make our annual reports as inter- 
 esting as possible to members. This year we were 
 able to get out what we believe will be found by all 
 Maltby s a most interesting booklet. "- 
 
 We wish to call the members attention to the fact 
 that five generations are represented in the Associa- 
 tion. They are the sixth, seventh, eighth, lunth and 
 tenth. We think we are correct in stating that our 
 oldest member is eighty years of age, and our young- 
 est five months old. Master Daniel Deveral Perry is, 
 however, the only member of tlie tenth generation. 
 We know of no descendant of the fifth generation 
 who is still living, f.ni we do not believe that any of 
 the eleventh are in existence. 
 
 The names of Fome former members will be missed 
 from the present roll. It is with the deepest regret 
 that we have to record the death of Mrs. Justin W. 
 Meacham, Elizabeth A. Morehouse (6)— No. 34 on 
 our previous list of members — at her home in Mil- 
 waukee September 12th, 1907, aged (54 years. 
 
 Mr. Douglass F. Maltby, Yale Ex. 44, died at his 
 home in Waterbury,Co]in., May l(5th, 1907. He was 
 born in Northford, Conn., May 7th, 1820. Reenter- 
 ed Yale College in 1840, but on account of ill health 
 was compelled to give up his studies at the end of 
 Sophomore year. In 1851 Mr. Maltby became presi- 
 dent of the Maltby, Morton & Company " button man- 
 ufacturers of Waterbury. In 1878 he began business 
 
 
 I 
 
145 
 
 under the firm name of Maltby, Curtiss and Company 
 of New York City. In 1886 the tirm changed its 
 name to Maltby, Henley and Company. For a num- 
 ber of years he was president of the Maltby, Curtiss 
 and Stephens Company, a joint stock company en- 
 gaged in the manufacture of silverware in Walling- 
 ford, Conn. 
 
 Mr. Maltby is survived by his widow and four 
 children, to whom the Association tenders it sincere 
 sympathy. 
 
 The news of the death of Mrs. Richard Long [Emma 
 Jessie Maltby (8), No. 12 on our last years member- 
 ship], daughter of Mr. George W. Maltby (7) of 
 Buffalo, reached us too late to be inserted in our 
 previous report. It is with the greatest regret that 
 we have to record the death of Mrs. Long, which 
 occurred on Jan. 3, 1906. The Association wishes to 
 tender its sincere sympathy to the bereaved family. 
 
 Since the report was commenced we have received 
 word of the death of our oldest member, Mr. Oliver 
 Ellsworth Maltby, No. 39 on our present list. 
 
 Mr. Maltby was born in August, 1827, and he died 
 after a very short illness, in October, 1907, at a little 
 over eighty years of age. He was the oldest child of 
 Lucius (5) and Sarah Parks Maltby and a grandson 
 of Kev. Jonathan Maltby (4), whose picture and in- 
 teresting letter appear in this report. Mr. Maltby 
 was one of the original members of the Maltby Asso- 
 ciation and his death will be felt by a large circle of 
 friends. 
 
 Recently the question has arisen as to whether 
 upon the decease of members, the relicts husband or 
 wife could represent them in the Association. Not 
 being of Maltbv blood they would not be eligible. 
 
146 
 
 and yet it seemed hardly right to debar such persons 
 from keeping up an interest in the family. It was 
 thought that an honorary membership list would 
 settle this difficulty. In this way the husband or 
 wife of a deceased Maltby could join by paying the 
 regular dues but their names would be on the Hon- 
 orary list, stating that they represented the deceased 
 wife or husband, as the case might be. 
 
 Our expenses for the year, Feb. 1, 1907, to Feb. 1, 
 1908, and present financial condition is shown by the 
 report of the treasurer, as given below. One member 
 paid dues for two years, and one or two members 
 have furnished valuable work for which we could not 
 afford to pay, taking only the slightest return we 
 could make of cancelling dues for one or two years.

 The secretary especially requests that members 
 will send in corrections or additions to the report 
 and membership list. Much time is given to make 
 the list absolutely correct, but there are necessarily 
 mistakes, if only those which occur in copying, type- 
 writing, and so forth. These we regret, but they 
 seem to be unavoidable. The secretary would also 
 like to be notified of all Maltbys who served in any 
 wars, such as the Revolution, Mexican, Indian, war 
 of 1812 or Civil war. 
 
 It will be remembered that one object of the 
 Association was to hold a family reunion once in 
 every five or six years. Many descendants are 
 anxious to hold such a reunion, but there are difficul- 
 ties — distance being the greatest. A suggestion that 
 the first reunion be held at Branford, (Jonn., on 
 Sept. 1st, 1910, (two hundred years from the date of 
 William Maltby's death —see copy of his tombstone 
 in the report) seems a good one, but to accomplish 
 this we shall need the co-operation of all the members. 
 Letters of suggestion on this subject would be very 
 welcome. Descendants who could not be present at 
 Branford might be able to hold small reunions on 
 this date in various parts of the States. 
 
 The Association thanks the members for their help 
 and interest and trusts that during the new year we 
 are commencing, we may keep them all with us.

 THE M A I" L S B Y FA M I L Y. 
 
 Miss Ella K. Barnard of 1750 Park Ave., Baltimore, 
 Mtl., has recently published a genealogy of the Lang- 
 harne and Maulsby families. The Maulsby genealo- 
 gy deals with the Quaker branch of the family — 
 William Maltby and Mary Rhodes being the 
 progenitors of this branch. 
 
 A partial table of the contents of the Maltby 
 Genealogy follows: 
 
 The name Maltby in England, its origin and 
 spelling. 
 
 Records relating to Maltby and Molzbi in the 
 Doomsday Book. 
 
 The pedigree of Maltby, of Maltby and ^^luston. 
 dating back to the Norman Conquest. 
 
 Yorkshire Inquisitions— List of Freemen of York 
 —List of Maltby Wills— Parish Records from Nott- 
 iiighamshire, etc., etc. 
 
 The price of the above book, we believe, is 15.00, 
 and can be obtained from the author, whose address 
 is given above. 
 
 Mr. Maximilian Foster, a descendant of Gen. Isaac 
 Maltby (4), is writing very interesting articles and 
 short stories for well known periodicals. 
 
 "Everybody's" for January contained an article on 
 flying machines by Mr. Foster. The writer was not 
 fortunate enough to see this article, and consequently 
 can a:ive no review of it.

 During the year we had the pleasure of receiving a 
 patriotic hymn, the words and the music both being
