(In same writing below is a note:)
"Mr. Maltby is now in his 73rd year and his hand trembly so as
almost to disqualify him for writing though he retains his faculties
and usefulness as an efficient Christian.
He adds that the family of Maltbys are somewhat numerous but
he has not known one of them who have been or are intemperate."
The Prescott Ancestry is: "The New England Prescotts, descended
from Prescotts of Lancashire and Lincolnshire, England. The New
Hampshire, thence to Vermont Prescotts were from Lincolnshire."
