MOLBY GENEALOGY

CHESTER MOLBY

(CGB-GE)

Recently we have discovered a branch of the Maltby family spelling their name Molby.  This branch we believe should connect with parent tree at Jonathon Maltby (4), born Oct. 21, 1751, and said by Rev. Jonathon (4) to have married a Miss Culver, and went to Lenox, Mass.  From here he probably went up to Vermont, as Culver was a prominent name in Vermont in Revolutionary Days.  As yet this descent has not been proved.  What records we have of this family begin with one Jonathon Maltby who went from Salem, Mass., in 1800, to New York State.  Now it is tradition that he was from Salem, and tradition is evidently wrong as the Town Clerk assures us the name Maltby is not on the records.

Jonathon Maltby had the following children: Chester Molby, b. Dec. 8, 1788: Jacob Maltby; William Maltby, went west when young, perhaps to Michigan; Isaac Molby, went west when young.

Chester Molby m. Sally Wigent; they named their children Samuel, John, Benjamin, Susanna, Harriet, Polly, Lydia, Loanna, Jane and Daniel.

Jacob Maltby, brother of Chester, named his children William, Minor, Henry, John and Lucy. 

Further records of this branch requested.
