Maltby of Maltby and Muston

Arms: Argent, on a bend gules three garbs or.

Maultby, 900, 6070.  “Glover’s Visitation of Yorkshire,” p. 551.

Edited by Joseph Foster in 1875.

I.  WILLIAM de Maltby in Co. York, 1100.

II.  HENRY Maltby of Maltby in Cleveland, Co. York.

Note. – See Sir William (3), Pedigree I., who held lands in Cleveland.  These two I believe to have been closely related.

III.  JOHN de Maltby m. de Etton, dau. of Gilbert (?), Children: Gilbert (4), Robedrt (4), Christian (4), Catharine (4), Constance (4), William (4), Catharine m. Robert Waryan and Constance m. Robert Haux (Hoo) or Hauy.

IV.  SIR WILLIAM de Maltby, son and heir, 1209, (?); 1309 (?) m. (2) Oristianna -------.

V.  JOHN de Maltby, son and heir (1331), m. Alice, dau. of Nicholas Blount of Uphliam, (Upleatham) Cleveland.

Note. – This may be where the name Nichols comes from in the Maltby family.  There is an error somewhere in the dates, as it is too long a break between 1209 and 1331.  It evidently should read 1309 and 1339 may refer to the death of John.  A letter from Mr. Charles Maltby to the compiler mentioned that his father died “aged 101 years, 101 days.”

IV.  GEORGE Maltby, living about 1364, m. Alice, dau. and heiress of Thomas and Mary ------- Seymour, and granddaughter of Richard, Lord Seymour.  See St. Maur Pedigree.  This may be where the names Thomas and Richard come into the family, as the Seymours were prominent and they would have been apt to keep their names in the family.  (Vide. Visit. York., edited by Norcliffe.)*

* See pedigree II-A.

VII.  JOHN de Maltby, son and heir (1406), m. Elizabeth, dau. of Thomas de Marton in Cleveland.

VIII.  THOMAS de Maltby, son and heir, 30 Henry VI. (1443), m. Elizabeth -----.  (I think she was either a widow or a second wife.)

IX.  THOMAS de Maltby 30 Henry IV., 1429, m. Isabel, dau. of John Sayer of Preston, Co. York.

X.  MATTHEW de Maltby, A.  2 Richard III., 1485.  He had William (11), son and heir; Robert de M., 2^nd son (11), Isabella (12), dau. and heiress of William (11), m. Robert Merley or Morleys of Normanby; dwelt at Maltby.  They had a son James (13) Morley of Maltby, 1584; m. Phillis Thomaby.  A son Cuthbert (13) Morley recorded their pedigree at York Yisit., 1584.  Robert (11) Maltby, the second son is now taken up.

XI.  ROBERT de Maltby, second son.

XII.  WILLIAM de Maltby.

XIII.  CHRISTOPHER Maltby, Sheriff of York, 1575; alderman of York.  (The notes are confusing.  It is hard to discover whether there should be another Christorpher between William (12) and Christopher above. Christopher seems to be a Morley name.)  Christopher Maltby m. first, Frances Yaung, who d. 30 Dec., 1580.  He m. second, July 11, 1581, at St. Crux, York, Mary, dau. of Arthur Dyneley of Swillington.  He d. Feb. 28, 1584-5 and his wid. d. Oct. 14, 1585.  The children were Christopher (14), bapt. 18 March, 1574-5; George (14) d. April 17, 1591; Margaret (14) d. April 17, 1591.  He also had a brother Richard (13) living abovt 1584-5.  (See Will of Christopher, 1585.)  Also a sister Jane (13), who m. Robert Brooke, M. p. for York.  She was buried July 12, 1604, at All Saints’ Payement.  Her son, Rev. Samuel (14) Brooke, D.D., Master of Trinity Coll., Cambridge, 1622-31; his son was Christopher Brooke (15), M. P., the poet; his dau. Jane (16) Brook was the w. of Thomas Hesketh of Heslington, whose heir general is the editor of this work: i.e. Yorkshire Wills.  (See photo. Silver Plate.)

XIV.  CHRISTOPHER Maltby, bapt. 18 March, 1574-5, at St. Crux, York; Alderman of York; m., in 1599, Everilda, dau. of Ralph Creyke of Cottingham and Marton.  See Supplementary Notes.  Children:

XV. CHRISTOPHER Maltby, d. 1619-1620 (?).

15  Catharine Maltby b. 1599; m. Michael Warton of Beverly, Esq.

15  Everild Maltby, b. 1605; m., 1626, Sir George Wentworth of Woolsey, Kt.

15  Frances Maltby, b. 1608; m. Ninian Tankred, of Brunton, Esq.

15  Catharine Maltby, b. 1599; m. Michael Warton of Beverly, who died in the lifetime of his father, Sir Michael Warton of Beverly (d. 1655).  His wife was Elizabeth, dau. and co-heiress of Ralp Hawsby.  Catharine Maltby Warton had a son Michael (16) Warton of Beverly Park, Esq., ae. Abt. 42, anno. 15 Sept., 1666.  His w. was Susan, dau. of John, Lord Paulet of Hinton, St. George Somerset.  (Vide, le Neves Knights, edit. Geo. W. Marshall, 1873; Vol. VIII., p. 205, Harl. Soc.)

Note. – “Susan, dau. of John, Lord Paulet.”  Here we have the surname of the heiress of Sir George Maltby, his sister, Sarah Maltby having married John Poulett.  See under date 1640 in Irish Notes.

The above data states that Catharine Maltby m. Michael Warton, yet the following reconrd is taken from the York Marriage Licenses: “Sir Michael Warton of Beverly and Evereld Maltby of Cottingham at Beverly or Cottingham (m.) 1619.”

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

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

The Genealogist, Vol. II., (1894) p. 217, states: “Michaell Warton of Beverly, Esq., dyed in his father’s lifetime, being slayn by a cannon bullet at Scarborough Castle in the time of the late wars, it being then a garrison for the King [Pap. ?] 23 Oct., 1593, at St. John’s Beverly.  He m. Catharine, dau. and co-heiress of Christopher Maltby of Maltby in Coun—Ebor; m. 1 Oct. 1620, at Cottingham,”  Their children were:

1.  Michael Warton, named for himself and father.

2.  Sir Ralphe Warton, named for her grandfather, Ralph Creyke; also for his grandfather, Ralph Hawsby.

3.  Everill Warton, named for her mother.

4.  Catherine Warton, named for herself.

5.  Elizabeth Warton, named for his mother, Elizabeth Hawsby.

6.  James Warton.

7.  Mary Warton, named for her grandmother, Mary Dyneley.

8.  Christopher Warton, named for her father.

9.  Francis Warton.

15  Everild Maltby, b. 1605; m., in 1626, Sir George Wentworth of Woolsey, Kt. (Vide York Marriage Licenses: “Geo. Wentworth, gent., of Woolley and Averill Maltby of Cottingham, 1626, at Royston or Cottingham.”)  Under the year 1615, we find an indenture made 1 November, 1615, between Michael Wentworth of Wolley, Co. York, Esquire, and Edward Ward of Mendham, gent.  Confirmation of title to the Manor of Mendham Hall granted to Michael Wentworth, Eszuire, grandfather of the said Michael, by Sir Richard Freston of Mendham.  Signature of Micha Wentworth.  Witnesses: Fra. Cleobury, Jo. Whithorne.

In 1617-18 is another indenture made 13 March, 1617-18, between (1) Edward Ward of Mendham, Esquire, and (2) Richard Freston of Mendnam, Co. Norfolk, Esquire, and his brother Thomas Freston, gent.  Sale of tithes of Mendham, Metfield and Nedham.  Signatures of Richard Freston, Thomas Freston.  Witnesses: Edward Malby, Thomas Tyte, John Goddard, Anth. Barry, Richard Sparke.

Note. – In the For the Pedigree we find Robert For the, Sheriff, 1596.  His dau. Anne For the, m. second, ------, Mendham; they had issue, Anne Ward, who m. Edward Malbye, Esq.  From this it will be seen that the second husband of Anne For the was probably Edward Ward, and their dau. Anne, m. Edward Malby, who witnesses the above Indenture.  See Pedigree V.

1619.  Under this date there is a Bond dated 24 April, 1619, of Sir Thomas Hollond of Quidneham, Co. Norfolk, Kt., to Edward Ward, junior, of Mendham, gent., and Hannah, his w.  (Delivered into the hands of Edward Ward, the elder, of Mendham, Esquire.)  Signature and seal of Thomas Holland.  Witnesses: John Hobert, William Dalleson, Francis Vardon.

1623.  The following indenture made 26 April, 1623, between (1) Henry Ward of Gray’s Inn, Co. Niddlesex, gent., and Edward Ward, the younger of Stonham Aspall, gent., and (2) Edward Ward, the elder, of Mendham, Esquire.  Conveyance of “Millfield” and “Bush Close” in Mendham, etc.  Signatures of Henrie Ward and Edward Warde.  Witnesses.  Notary Public, -----   ------, Dickens.

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

The Genealogist, Vol. XXI., p. 120, Dugdale’s Visit of Yorkshire, gives the following: “Wentworth Family of Wolley.  Arms: Sable a chev. Between 3 leopard’s faces, or.  Michael Wentworth of Wolley, Esq., ob. 1641, m. Frances, dau. and sole heiress of George Downes of Pawnton, Co. Hereford/  Their children were: Thomas, Michael and Sir George Wentwarth, Kt. Of Wolley, ob. 19 Oct., 1660.  He was twice married: to Anne, dau. of Lord Fairfax, and to Averell (Everild) dau. of Christopher Maltby, Alderman of York.

15.  Frances Maltby, b. 1608; m. Ninian (or Thomas ?) Tancred, Esq., of Broughbridge.  The Genealogist, Vol. X., 1894, p. 164, states she m. Thomas Tancred, a Bart. By Charles II., 1662; buried at Aldborough, 19Aug., 1663.  His wid. was buried at Aldborough, 27 April, 1665.  Their children were Sir William Tancred, second Baronet and Catherine Tancred.

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

The Tancred pedigree is given by Mrs. Clara H. Manning in “The Lore of Ancestry,” as follows: “Tancred Arms: Argent, a chevron between three escallops gules.  Crest: An olive tree fructed proper.

“About the time of Henry III.” (1216-1272) we find one William Tanckard at Boroughbridge, where he had estates, as well as at Aldborough, Minckip, Rowcliffe and other places in Yorkshire.  His son, William (2), m. Anne, dau. of John Paileyene of Killinghall.  They had, with other issue, Thomas (3), who m. Jane, dau. of Bernard Paver of Brampton.  Their son, Thomas (4) Tancred of Boroughbridge, m. Anne, dau. of Edward Fitton of Cheshire, and had Sir Thomas (5) Tancred, the first bart. of Boroughbridge, who was created a baronet November 17, 1662, and m. Frances, dau. of Christopher Maltby of Cottingham.  Their son, William (6), succeeded his father as second bart. and m. secondly, Elizabeth, dau. of C. Waldegrave of Stanning Hall, Co. Norfolk, by whom he had Thomas (7), third bart., who m. Elizabeth, dau. of William Messenger, of Fountains Abbey, Co. York, and d. in 1744, when he was succeed as fourth bart. by his son, Thomas (8), who m. Judith, dau. of Peter Dalton of Grenanstown, Co. Tipperary, and d. June, 1759.  His son, Thomas (9), became fifth bart, and m., in 1776, Penelope, dau. of Thomas Assheton Smith.  Sir Thomas Tancred d. in 1784 and was succeeded by his son, Thomas (10), as sixth bart.” – Heraldica.

NOTES PEDIGREE II.

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

 

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

 

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES PEDIGREE II.

 

III.  John de Maultby (3) had Gilbert (4), Robert (4), Christian (4), Catharine (4), Constance (4), William (4).  The Cal. Pat. Rolls mentions: “William, son of John de Maltby, and Gilbert son of John de Malteby.”  This William is evidently Sir William (4) and gives an indication of the period in which he lived.  The dae should probably be 1309 and not 1209.  Under date 1310, we evidently find a reference to Robert (4), son of John (3).

 

V.  John de Maltby presented to Vicarage of Pontefort, York.  Was this John (5)?

 

X.  See under year 1584.  Isabella (12), dau. of William (11), m. Robert Morley.  A son, Cuthbert (13) Morely recorded their pedigree at York.  Visit. In 1584, and his half-brother added his achievement, his mother being heiress general of Maltby of Maltby in Stainton.

 

XIV.  “Old Yorkshire,” by Will Smith, p. 176, states: “Gregory Creyke, the fifth son, succeeded, bapt. at Bridlington April 21, 1595.*  He m. Ursula, dau. of Sir John Legard, Kt., of Grantum, by Elizabeth, dau. of Sir William Mallory, Kt. Of Studley; Everilda, the only dau., m., in 1599, Christopher Maltby of Maltby.  She had three daughters.”
