CFH-HAC-E. Charles Townshend MALTBY, b. Sept. 8, 1858, New Haven. (Geo.W.6, Augustus 5, Stephen 4, Benj.3, Dan.2, Wm.1). m. Eliza COZARD. Res. New Haven. He d. July 27, 1904. No children. (Obituary. "New Haven Journal and Courier, July 29, 1904")
"Charles Townshend Maltby, a member of the firm of Benedict, Pardee and Company, wholesale coal dealers, on Meadow Street, died Wednesday afternoon at his home on George Street, after an illness of several days.
Mr. Maltby was one of the best known men in town, being a son of the late George W. Maltby, one of New Haven's oldest citizens. Mr. Maltby was a straight lineal descendant of Rev. John Davenport, the founder of New Haven, and of Abraham Pierson*, the first President of Yale College. From New Haven's earliest days the family show an un- broken residence in the city."
*Note. This is an error. The Rev. Abraham Pierson (1), had a son, Rev. Abraham Pierson (2), who was the first Pres. of Yale Col- lege; he was brother of Abigail (2) Pierson who married John Daven- port (2), and she was the ancestress of George Williams Maltby. Also, it is not strictly true that the family had "unbroken residence" in New Haven, as there was a period of time when the family resided in Northford.
My uncle Charles was a very handsome man. His hair was red, as was his mustache. He dressed immaculately and was popular with both men and women.
