CFH-HAC. George Williams MALTBY, b. Sept. 11, 1820, New Haven, Conn.
(Augustus W.5, Stephen 4, Benj.3, Dan.2, Wm.1). m. May 14, 1846,
Sarah BOGART, b. May 10, 1824;; dau. of John and Hester TeBow (Thibaut) Bogart of Bergen Co., New Jersey. She descended from a long
line of Dutch and French Huguenot ancestors, and so far as can be
learned, there is not one intermarriage with any other nationality.
She was a tall, stately, handsome lady and kept her looks and
figure to the day of her death.
She had a fine collection of beautiful and rare old lace, which,
on special occasions, as a "treat" she would take out and show her
grandchildren, and she knew the name of each piece.
I well remember that on the occasion of the marriage of her
grand-daughter, Helen Benedict, a friend in New Haven wrote me:
"Everyone is talking about how superb Mrs. Maltby was, in a black
velvet gown made by Crevey, combined with beautiful old lace with
which she wore diamonds. She was positively regal." This was the
late autumn of 1906.
Mr. George Williams Maltby, the compiler's grandfather, was a
bit under medium height, but stated he had "settled" and his eyes
were not as brown as in his younger days," his hair had been dark
brown, and he had what is known in this branch of the family as "the
Maltby nose." He was kindly, genial, easy-going, and as lovable a
grandfather as any child could wish for. He was well educated, well
read and owned many valuable old books. He preached for a long
period of time but was not an ordained minister. He knew intimately
many prominent men of his day and had a very fine collection of
autographed letters written to him, personally. These he had promis-
ed the compiler, but somehow they just disappeared. He was a good
conversationalist, and always well posted on current events as well
as those in history.
He died March 8, 1901, at his home on Dwight Street, New Haven,
Conn., and was buried in the old Grove Street Cemetery, as were his
father and grandfather and his son, George Ellsworth Maltby. His
wife died in Feb. 1907.
The compiler owns a likeness of Hester LeBow and of George
William Maltby, when quite a young man and of Sarah (Bogert) Maltby,
not long before her death.
Mr. Maltby descended from a long line of well-known Conn. an-
cestors. (See under George Ellsworth Maltby). Some of Mrs. Maltby's
Dutch and French ancestors were: Batthon: Bertholf, Bogert, DeBaun,
DeGraef, DeGroot, DeMarest, DeRuine, Drabble, Barebtsen, Gerritse,
Henchickse, Idens, Jacobs, Kennise, LeSuer, Janse, Pier, Pietersen,
