Booklet No. 2 published at his private expense by Mr. Jay Hayes Maltby did much to awaken interest in the old members and to cause new cousins to wish to become associated with us.

We have seventeen new members, and we have lost, we regret to say, quite a few old ones - this was due almost entirely to deaths.

The Association sustained a great loss in teh death of our President, Mr. George E. Maltby. Mr. Maltby had been ailing for some months and died July 31, 1909, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. William M. Bernard at Ardsley, New York - in his 79th year. The interment was at Trinity Cemetery, New York.

Many of us never had pleasure of knowing our President personally, but his photograph, reproduced in Bookley No. 2, we have and the splendid character which was his is shown in every line of the face.

It will be a pleasure to the members to know that Mr. Maltby was very proud of his office of president of the Maltby Association, and at times during his last illness his near relatives called him "President" which seemed to please him.

Mr. George Erastus Maltby was born February 18, 1830, in Fair Haven (now a part of New Haven), Connectieut. He was the second child of Lucius and Sarah J. (Paries) Maltby, a grandson of the Rev. Jonathan and Submit (Taintor) Maltby. Great grandson of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Fowler) Maltby - great, great grandson of Daniel and Esther (Moss) Maltby - William Maltby, the emigrant ancestor, being his great, great, great grandfather.

In 1852 Mr. Maltby married Elizabeth Broughton Maguire, and of her had two children, Edward Paries and Mary Louise Maltby. When the Civil War broke out Mr. Maltby removed to the South and for some time supplied General Grant's army with provisions. Later he established an oyster business in Norfolk, Virginia, and was the first to ship opened oysters in bulk to New York, for a long time averaging five hundred gallons a day.

In 1864 Mrs. Maltby died. For seven years Mr. Maltby remained a widower. In 1871 he married Ruth Atwater Bostwick and to them were born Margaret Atwater, George Erastus and Lucius Upson Maltby.

Mr. Maltby with his family left Virginia in 1878 and went to New York, wher the northern branch of the oyster business was supervised by him. Soon after the death of Mrs. Maltby in 1898, Mr. Maltby, retired from active business. He was for some years a part owner in the Maltby House of Philadelphia, but sold out his interest about four years ago.

His remaining years were spent in Chester, Connecticut, with his daughter, Mrs. Frederick S. Smith, and in New York City with his younger daughter, Mrs. William M. Bernard.

In the death of Mrs. William A. Butler (Frances Isabel Maltbie) the Association lost one of its staunchest supporters and best friends. Mrs. Butler died on the 15th of July, 1909, at her summer home, Shelter Island Heights, New York, where she had spent her summers for thirty years. A litter received from one who knew her wel, said: "Mrs. Butler made friends wherever she went and everyone always went to her for advice and comfort - and she was always ready to give it. She was beloved by all who knew her and in spite of many sorrows she retained her sweet and sunny disposition to the end."

Frances Isabel Maltbie was born February 5, 1842, in the city of New York where she spent her early childhood. She was the first child of James Wills and Mary Theresa (Heffermau) Maltbie, and grand daughter of William Davenport and Frances (Wills) Maltbie, great grand daughter of David and Nancy Davenport Maltbie of Stanford, Conn., (Through this marriage Mrs. Butler traced her Davenport ancestry back to Ormus de Davenport living in 1086.) great, great grand daughter of David and Srah (Holly) Maltby, great, great, great granddaughter of Jonathan and Mrs. Sarah (Potter) Maltby - great, great, great, great grand daughter of William Maltby and Abigail (daughter of Deputy Governor James) Bishop, his wife. During Mrs. Butler's girlhood she lived in Hoboken, New Jersey, where whe was married to William A. Butler at Trinity Church on Thursday, April 2, 1868. A few years later she removed to 29 Monroe Street, Brooklyn, New York, where she resided for over thirty years.

On January 29th, 1881, she was left a widow with two sons and three daughters. The last two years of her life were spent in East Orange, New Jersey. On the 15th of July, 1909, she passed away without suffering, at her summer home, Shelter Island Heights, New York. She was laid to rest beside her husband in Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn, New York.

In the last report we recorded the death of Mr. George W. Maltby of Buffalo. Mr. Maltby was a most enthusiastic member and deeply interested in all his Maltby relatives and in the work of the Association.

One of the original members, he sent us annually ten dollars for membership fees for himself and nine members of his family. This included two brothers, three of his children, three grand-children and one great grand-child. None of the above take the slightest interest in the Maltby Association or so far as can be learned in their Maltby relatives. Consequently the Association lost ten members when it lost Mr. George W. Maltby.

The work of the Association has progressed well, though this was hindered somewhat by the Secretary's change of residence and illness in teh family which made it quite impossible to devote as much time as she wished to the work. There were so many letters to write that it seemed advisable to institute state secretaries, and this plan was adopted. The increase in members from these various states proves that the secretaries did good work and that the plan is good. We hope before long to have a state secretary in each state. At present we have the following:

Mrs. John P. Victory .....................New Mexico.
Mr. Jay Hayes Maltby .....................North Dakota.
Miss Martha J. Maltby .....................Ohio.

Some important data has been discovered in the American genealogy of the Maltbys.

Miss Ethel Lord Scofield proved that William (1) Maltby did not have a daughter Martha. The great aunt Martha mentioned by Rev. Jonathan (4) Maltby (see page 140 of Booklet No. 2) was Martha Moss. She was Benjamin (3) Maltby's aunt, just as Rev. Jonathan said, but on his mother's side of the family. The Branford records give "Samuel Stent and Martha Moss were married 27 Nov. 1706, by the Rev. Samuel Street of Wallingford." Martha MOss was a sister of Esther Moss who married Daniel (2) Maltby Oct. 27, 1702.

Miss Scofield also found who Hannah - , wife of William (1) Maltby was. This is an important discovery as it opens up new fields for research work. Also it proves that our emigrant ancestor had three wives - Hannah was his second wife and Abigail Bishop his third - unless we should later find he had four wives. Mainwaring's Digest of Probate Records in Hartfort County, Vol. I, page 324, contains the Vill of Thomas Hosmer - dated 27 Feb. 1685 - in it he mentions "I give unto my daughter Hannah Malby L18, which is the Reversio due me out of the estate of Josiah Willard of Wethersfield. I give unto my son-in-law Maltby L5." * * * * "If any of my children shall bring up their children to learning so as to make them fit for publique service, to each such gr. child I bequeathe L10 apiece to be paid them at the age of 21 years." * * * * --I give my daughter Hannah Malby 40 shillings in money and in case she live to be a widow and in want, I do bequeath her L20 more to be paid her as she needs it.

Signed:                      THOMAS HOSMER.
Proved 1 Sept. 1687.

In 1685 her father mentions her as Hannah Maltby - in 1686, "Savage's Gen. Dict." (from which most of the above dates are taken) calls her wife of William Maltby. In 1687-8 we find her name with William Maltby's on the list of church members in Branford, Conn,

In 1689-90, a deed for John Yale is witnessed by:
WILLIAM MALTBIE,
HANNAH MALTBIE.

Descendants will be interested to see what "Savage" says of Thomas Hosmer:

"Hosmer-Thomas of Cambridge, 1632 - brother of the first James - Freeman, 1635 - removed early with Hooker to Hartford where he had a good estate - was constable, selectman, and Representative several times. Had only son Stephen born about 1645 - Hannah born about 1639 - Esther mar. 20 Sept., 1666, Rev. Thomas Buckingham of Saybrook - Clemence who married 3 Sept., 1662, Jonathan Hunt of NOrthampton.

James Hosmer, Concord, came in Elizabeth from London 1635, aged 28 years - wife Ann 27 - Mary 2 - Ann 3 months - two maid servants. He was from Hawkhurst, in County Kent.'

Now we shall have to discover who was the first wife of William Maltby. The lack of any genealogical library is a serious handicap to the genealogist and we sincerely trust that some of the members who have access to good libraries will take sufficient interest in this matter to do a little research work independently of that done by the Association. Here is a suggestion: Was William Maltby's first wife a Barker? We refer once more to the list of members embodied in the church covenant of Branford, March 7, 1687-8. It reads thus-

MEN
Saml. Russell (the minister)   Eliz. Barker,
Wm. Maltby                     Hannah Maltby
Eleazar Stone                  Sarah Blas
Saml. Pond                     --- Pond
John Frisbie                   Dorcas Taintor
John Taintor
  Etc. etc.

Barker, Edward of Boston 1670 - by wife Jane,
                       Elizabeth, b. 17 July 1650
                       Mary, b. Feb. 1653
                       John, b. 15 Jan. 1654
                       Sarah, b. 9 Mar. 1655.
                       Thomas, b. 1657.

Recently queries along the lines of Hosmer, Barker, etc., were inserted in the "Boston Transcript," but it is too soon, as yet, to hear from them.

This finding of Hannah Hosmer was the most important work done in the American research since the founding of the Association. The English work has been even more successful than the American. If circumstantial evidence counts at all, then we may feel that we have found our English ancestry. Of course we shall not be satisfied with circumstantial evidence- we want absolute PROFFS of every detail, and that, as yet, we have been unable to find. Out of teh mass of records examined by Mr. Fothergill no other Maltby family has been found which in any way dovetails with our American data - whereas EVERTTHING found relating to William Maltby born 1644-5 at East Retford, does fit our records.

In the first place William Maltby born 1644-5 at East Retford is the ONLY William Maltby we have ever been able to find born the same year our ancestor, William, was. This is important. Secondly we find all the names of his family exactly what we should expect from the names of William's children, also they were just the ages we should expect from the data we had. John the older brother - Robert the vounger brother. Then ther is another strong point discovered by Mr. Fothergill - no Maltby was assessed at Retford to the Hearth Tax of `663 (Lay Subsidy Roll 160-322). This is a very important fact to extablish that they had gtone ot this date. No Maltby taxed at Bawtry circ. 1671 (Lay Subsidy Roll 262-15.)

Searched East Retford 22 Car. 11-1670-1. 254-29.

No Maltby in Subsidy 15 Car. 11 at Corringham, 140-751.

After finding that the Maltbys had left East Retford, Springthorpe, Corringham, etc,, Mr. Fothergill found when they sold their lands. The conveyance of land to Pedes Finium, or Feet of Fines, was very often resorted to; they are of first-class importance, as the vendor joins with his wife and children or other heirs in order to dock dower or entail."

We give a few of these:

"Final agreement between John Darell, gent., John Ward and Elizabeth his wife; Richard Otter, Anne his wife, purchasers; William Carr and Dorothy his wife; John Maltby; George Holmes, Mary his wife; Robert Maltby, Robert White and Johanne his wife, vendors of two messuages two gardens 25 acres of land, 6 of meadow, 2 of pasture and common of pasture with appurts, in East Retford, West Retford, Babworth, in Co. Notts.

Feet of Fines Trinity 14 Car. 11, 1662."

N.B. - If the will of John Maltby of East Retford is consulted (page 73 of Booklet No. 2) it will be seen that in the codicil he says his house in Briggate to be sold when John is 21; L100 to son John and the residue to his youngest son. The above extract is where this codicel was fulfilled. If John was 21 in 1662 he would have been born in 1641 - making him three or four years the senior of William who was born in 1644-5. Robert we know was born in 1648.

There are several other land transfers - too many to be inserted in this brief report.

Below we give a list of teh ground covered by Mr. Fottergill up to May 1st, 1909. - This list is of the principal searches only.

Feet of Fines - Yorkshire 1603 -1666.

Feet of Fines, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Mixed Counties, 1659-1673.

Chancery proceedings, 1558-1758. Plaintfiff's side only.

Inquisitions Post Mortem, 1558-1649.

Lay Subsidy Rolls, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire Close Rolls.

Perogative Court of Canterbury, 1604-1719.

Exchequer Proceedings, Nottinghamshire.

King's Bench Deeds, 1656-1671.

Indentures 1647-1671.

Yorkshire Marriage Licenses.

Wills ot Yorkshire 1636-1700.

Baga de Secretic.

Perhaps it would be well to give some idea as to the work contained in thh above list - as to the lay mind many of teh terms convey no meaning.

Feet of Fines we have already explained.

Chancery Proceedings - "The pleadings in the Court of Chancery are of teh highest importance as sources of genealogical information, some of them giving as many as nine generations of pedigree, and others even give abstracts of all the deeds in the family muniment room for three hundred years. Besides the general value, they are of great help to Americans, as setting out a claim by descent, they frequently account for some missing relative, by stating that he is now in America in parts beyond the seas. These documents are practically a virgin field, never having been worked out suit by suit as Mr. Waters did the wills in the P.P.C."

It will be observed that Mr. Fothergill searched the plaintiff side only. The chancery suits on the defendant side ought to be searched but it requires a great deal of time as only the plaintiff side is alphabetically arranged. One thing is certain this work cannot be commenced until we have more money.

"The Inquisition Post Mortem gives information about the large land owners, and are well-known as one of teh best sources of genealogy."

"Lay Subsidy Rolls and Hearth Tas returns are useful as they serve as a directory, giving a clue to the parish.

Close Rolls- To explain this we quote from "Some Special Studies in Genealogy." by Gerald Fothergill, Esqre. - from which all the explanations af terms have been taken.

"It seems probable that, in order to find capital for the start in the New World, teh emigrant would sell any land he possessed; or, if he was without land, it is to be expected that his father would, on giving him a protion, re-settle his estate, and the departing son would join in any conveyance in order to cut any rights he might have in possession or expectancy under any entail that existed. Here it should be noted that men of very small estates, even cottagers, would strictly entail and settle property on themselves and wife with reversion to the eldest son and heirs, and failing these, to the second, third, fourth sons, etc., respectively.

At different periods the English law has known various ways to conveyancing. The statute 27 Henry VIII, cup. 16, provided an instrument known as a "deed of bargain and sale," and it was enacted that an estate should not pass by this means only, unless it was by indenture enrolled in one of the Courts of Westchester or in the county where the lands lie. If this provision had not been evaded, we should have had an almost universal register of conveyances of the freehold, but it was soon defeated by the invention of the conveyance of lease and release, which arose from the omission to extend the statute to bargains and sales for terms of years.

Many thousands of the former deeds are enrolled in Chancery on the Close Rolls, the grantors being indexed in the books called “INDENTURES” kept in the Long Room, and the grantees in the Close Rolls index in the Round Room at the Record Office. Others are on the rolls of the King’s Bench, Common Pleas, Exchequer, etc.”

“The great attack on the (English) records should start with the wills, they being the very backbone of all pedigree research. By far and away the most important set of wills are those proved in the Perogative Court of Canterbury (P.C.C.), these commence in 1383, and continue to 1858. The P.C.C. contains the wills from ALL parts of England during the Commonwealth 1650 to 1660.” We have received abstracts of about seventy Maltby wills examined by Mr. Fothergill and, as before stated, none of them (except the East Retford family) seem in any way to fit our needs.

It may be well to give here the pedigree traced, through wills, of John, William and Robert Maltby of East Retford.

The first will is dated 26 Nov. 1557 – Will of John Maltby of Kexby Hall, Kexby, Lincolnshire. (He was probably born about 1500.)

Burial at Upton.

His wife was Margerie, he had sons Richard and William and daughters Margaret and Izabell.

Proved . . . . . . 3 Dec. 1557.

ABSTRACT of Will of Richard Maultbye the elder of Kexbie 10 Dec. 1602.

Son Christopher, daughters Ellen Margaret Wilkinson.

Son John, both my cottages in Springthorpe, paying to Christopher my son £10. – My Lord Willonbie.

Christopher five acres in Bardicke Close.

Proved in Arch Stow ult Dec. 1602. 256

ABSTRACT of Will of John Maltbie of Springthrope, Co. Lincoln. Dated 20 May. 1610.

Eldest son Richard messuage—I dwell in as I had it from my late father Richard Maultbie of Kexbie but my wife Margaret shall occupy for ten years.

Son John, two cottage houses in Springthorpe now in tenure of Thomas Ellis and Richard Tythwell and one oxgang of land purchased of Richard Parker of Springthorpe.

Son William, one cottage in Springthorpe in tenure of Henry Parish and oxgang purchased of Richard Parke.

Eldest son Richard land called Fisher’s Garth.

Son Robert £40 when 21.

Son John £15.

Son William £15.

N.B. – As the term “oxgang” is old English, we insert Webster’s definition of this word.

“Oxgang [From ox and gang] (Old English Laws). As much land as an ox can plow in a season; said to be 15 acres, or, as others allege, 20 acres.”

Daughter Margaret if she please my wife and her uncles Richard Maltbie of Kexbie and Richard Bishop of Upton in choise of her husband, £60.

Daughter Ellen £40 when 21.

Daughter Marie £40 when 21.

Residue to Margaret my wife and to be ever. Proved in Arch Stow 25, June, 1610.

The abstract of the will of John Maltby, son of the above, was given in Booklet No. 2. There are some errors in the type. To second son William (our supposed ancestor) he left his lands in Springthorpe—not Soningthorpe—and Little Corringham—not Coningham. There is also a mistake in the various 101’s and 201’s due to the Secretary’s writing—these should all be 10| and 20| (ten shillings twenty shillings, and so on.

The above pedigree we give in simplified form below:

1. John Maltby of Kexbie Hall – wife Margerie, Lincolnshire.
2. Richard Maultbie of Kexbie, Lincolnshire.
3. John Maltbie of Springthorpe, wife Margaret, Lincolnshire.
4. John Maltby of East Retford, Nottinghamshire, wife Mary.
5. John, born 1641 – William, b. 1644-5 – Robert, b. 1648 – also Jane and Elizabeth.

In writing this report a theory has come to the genealogist that Elizabeth Barker named before Hannah Maltby in the church seatings might have been Elizabeth Maltby, sister of William Maltby, and she may have married a Barker after reaching New England.

In connection with the church sitting it may be well to here quote from “Historic Towns of New England,” page 136, by George Dimmick Latimer:

“On one side (the church) sat the men, on the other the women and small children, each in his proper place, determined by wealth or public office.”

From the explanations given above we trust the members may form a very good idea of the work being done by Mr. Fothergill.

Are you interested in this research work? Do you want to know who your English ancestors were? How much are you interested? Enough to send us a check or a money order to carry on the work?

We are ashamed to say that when Mr. Fothergill returned from Lincoln he had spent all we had sent him for his railway fare, hotel and other “out of pocket” items and had nothing for his time and work.

We have received a vast amount of work for the little expenditure made, but to continue we MUST raise money and the question is now? Members can figure out for themselves how much money we have left for research work when our running expenses are paid. We take in less that one hundred dollars a year – out of this we have to print the reports, circulars, pay for stamps, stationery, receipt cards, photographs – repairing tombstones and numerous small items which make a large total.

We ask you, dear cousins – what is the matter with us as a clan? While we accomplish so very little other Family Associations are spending hundreds of dollars on their English research work – and finding their English ancestors, too, and look at the size of their membership roll! Many of us have and idea that we are a very small family, and so far as those bearing the Maltby name go, this is true, but there are, we believe, at a conservative estimate, several thousand descendants of William and John Maltby, residing in the states today.

Some fifteen years ago it was rather the exception for one to know one’s English ancestry, through many well known families – like to Bulkley’s – Davenports – St. John – Fairfax – Townshends – had been traced far back into England. But this was fifteen years ago. Family Associations have changed all this. Mr. Water’s “Genealogical Gleaninge in England” and the English work published quarterly by the New England Historical and Genealogical Society has been a large factor in the finding of our English families. The Secretary receives numerous circulars from other Family Associations and again and again they contain the statement that their line has been traced several generations back in England.

We have received some subscriptions to the research work since Booklet No. 2 was issued and desire to thank most warmly those whose names appear below.

Every cent received for this work is a decided help and we only wish mor members felt like making some contribution to the fund.

If has been suggested by one of the members that we sell photopraphs of Bishop Maltby of Durham and of his father George Maltby, Esqre., born 1731 – died 1794, at a slight profit and devote the proceeds to the English research.

The Secretary obtained permission from Dr. Gee. The Castle, Durham, to have the above mentioned portraits photographed and the butler was kind enough to do this for us. The photographs are very fine, 6 + by 4 3-10ths. Bishop Maltby’s portrait was painted by H.P. Briggs, R.A., and that of his father George Maltby by Sir William Beechy, R. A.

Both portray fine-looking gentlemen – the Bishop has a keen, intellectual face, high forehead and the unusual development over the eyes which one so frequently sees in the Maltbys.

This is true of Georg Maltby as well. In his portrait we find a strong family resemblance to Gen. Isaac (4) Maltby (page ii. Maltby Booklet No. 2.)

George Maltby, Esq., wears a striped waistcoat with large severs, numerous fancy buttons upon it, a lace jabot, a coat trimmed with many large, fancy buttons, and looks what he was, a well born “Gentleman.”

The price of these photographs will be fifty cents each or $2.50 for half a dozen. We think the members would be please with them and trust the Secretary may receive many orders. Please order at once and remit either by check or post-office money order.

George Maltby, Esq., was the grandson of William and Jane (Brough) Maltby of Orston, Nottinghamshire. Mrs. Edwin Mortimer Blake (No. 7) is a great, reate grand-daughter of the above George Maltby, Esq. Her great, grandfather Charles Maltby and Edward Maltby, Bishop of Durham, were brothers – consequently the Bishop was Mrs. Blake’s great, grand-uncle.

From and item found by Mr. Fothergill we have apparently found the father of William Maltby of Orster, born 1641.

From Excheq. Proceedings, Notts. Car. 11—

Easter 22 Car. 11

Mentins “William Maltby the elder” of Orston” and money matters – speaks of “eight years last past.”

22 Car. 11 would be 1670, we believe, we believe and William born in 1541 would have been aged 29, or only 1541 would have been aged 29, or only 21 when the eight years referred to began – it hardly seems that the record would apply to him, for he could not have been “William Maltby the elder of Orston.” If not to him, then probably to his father.

In 1634 a Hugh Maltby of Orston had his will admons. At York (91 Notts. 1 May). This may have been a near relative of William, born 1641.

The Secretary earnestly begs suggestions as to ways of raising money for carrying on the English work. New members would help very much, but to get new members we need the assistance of old members.

We trust that the data we have already got together will incline members to sit down and write an order for some amount to go to this work. Is this asking too much of you, cousins?

The officers of the Association have received a vast number of letters all requesting a Booklet No. 3. Perhaps a word concerning Booklet No. 2 would be of interest to us all. We believe it is not generally known to just how great an extent we are indebted to Mr. Jay Hayes Maltby for the attractive booklet he hot out for us.

Have we any idea of the actual cost of such a book? We had the booklet taken to a good but reasonable printer to ascertain what he would change to issue such a book. His estimate was based on again using all the same cuts which of course brought his expenses down enormously. For two hundred copies of 150 pages he would change $200.00 – and this with no new cuts!

Of course it is out of the question that the Association could pay for such a publication, but the officers would be willing, and glad, to give their time and get up a Booklet No. 3 quite as attractive or even more so, than No. 2, but we can not think of undertaking this work until we have received subscriptions sufficient to cover the cost involved.

The proposed Booklet No. 3 would be about the same size as No. 2 and would contain from twenty five to thirty illustrations. We should aim to have material included which would interest all branches of the family.

In the reading matter we want to take up the lives of the children of William and John Maltby, and hope to be able to secure these sketches.

We have an exceeding entertaining account of five days spent in Maltby, Yorkshire, by Miss Marion Davenport Maltbie. Miss Maltbie is a daughter of Mrs. Armstrong Maltbie (No. 46) and a first cousin of the late Dr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock.

If possible we shall have the biography of Sir Nicholas Malby, Governor of Connaught, Roscommon, Ireland.

Miss Esther Tapping Maltbie has promised us a sketch of her life - which should be of great interest as Miss Maltby has been a missionary for nearly forty years and has lived a long life of varied experiences.

The illustrations we have thought of, are numerous: More views of Maltby, Yorkshire, possibly some of Maltby, Lincolnshire, a photograph of an old Maltbie sea chest, date 1726, with a poem on the same by Mrs. Lee Parker Dean; Portraits of Bishop Maltby and of his father; some old portraits of American Maltbys; the photograph of Daniel (2) Maltby's toombstone at Branford, Conn., and so on. We also hope to get a photograph of some silver plate presented by Christopher Maltby, Alderman of York*. He died shortly before 1600.

It is too early as yet to map out exactly a third booklet, but the foregoing may give some idea of our plans.

During the year the Secretary received some interesting Maltby photographs, etc. They will be used from time to time in our publications.

1. - Photo of Nathaniel Maltby Homestead in Bristol, 
     Ohio, preserted by Mrs. Fred Austin Bright.
2. - Photo of Old Maltby Sea Chest, dated 1726, presented 
     by Mrs. Lee Parker Dean.
3. - Photo of Timothy Maltby Esq., (born 1794) and his 
     six sons - Hiram, John, Charles, Rollin, Col. Ralph Robinson 
     and Chauncey Smith Maltby, presented by Mrs. Albertus Dye.
4. - Sermon written by Rev. Maltby Gelston, March 3, 1799, 
     111 years old - presented by Mr. Maltby Gelsto Leach.
5. - Song, "No Folks Like Mine to Me." - Words and music by 
     Rev. C. O. Maltby, presented by Rev. Clark O. Maltby.
6. - Photo of Orrin Maltby, Esq., born 1813.
7. - Photo of Mahogany Sideboard, Sofa and Large Table which 
     belonged to Chandler Maltby, born 1799, presented by 
     Mr. Grove B. Maltby.

Mr. Maltby's splendid work on the Mississippi River and at Panama is so well known we need hardly go into details in this report. A short sketch of his work was containted in Booklet #2.

We trust that Mr. Maltby may feel inclined to remain at the head of the Association for a great many years.

We nave a large number of members who descend from Benjamin (4) Maltby who married Abigail Munger. The Secretary has recently been able to trace her ancestry, throught the kindness of Mr. Jeremiah B. Munger, 709 Worthington Street, Springfield, Massachusetts.

For the convienience of these members the line of descent is now given:

1.  Nicholson Munger, the original Emigrant to America.
2.  John Munger.
3.  Ebenezer Munger.
4.  Reuben Munger, married Elizabeth Dudley.
5.  Abigail Munger, born Aug. 30, 1750, at Guilford, 
    Connecticut, mar. Benjamin Maltbie.

Mr. J.B. Munger writes "Should a more detailed record of the ancestry of Abigail Munger Maltbie be desired, which would include the origin of the family name, a tracing of Coats-of-Arms of the Mongers of County Surrey, Eng., with description and significance of its parts, it can be had for a fee of $5.00.

The Dudley family was a good one and well worth following back. Mr. Munger unquestionably has the names of the other Munger wives, but we did not feel we could ask any thing more than what he was so kind at to give.

With this report we expect to issue cards concerning the arrangements for the reunion of the Maltby Family to be held a Branford, Connecticut, Thursday, September the first, nineteen hundred and ten.

This will be the 200th anniversary of the death of our emigrant ancestor, William Maltby, Esqre.

We trust that all those of Maltby blood who can will be present -- this invitation is to non-members as well as members -- and there is no reason why one should not bring one's friends. We want all the cousins to come, and to come with the feeling that each relative is not only a cousin by blod ties but also a friend. The success of such a Reunion lies with each individual. If you come prepared to have a good time - you will not go away disappointed.

We suggest that each person adopt the Yorkshire Maltby colors for that day, and wear a small knot of dark red and gold ribbon, in this way no introductions would be needed, one's cousin's would be known at a glance. We request those intending to be present to sign the cards they will receive and return them to the Treasurer as soon as possible as there are many plans to be formed. Roughly outlined the day will be about as follows:

Trolley ride from New Haven to Branford --a short walk to the cemetery; here a floral tribute from the Maltby Association will be placed upon the graves of William Maltby and his third wife, Abigail (Bishop) Maltby. Perhaps members would like to carry individual bouquets of wild flowers, or garden flowers with shich to docorate some of the Maltby graves.

We do not wish in any way to have the day suggest sorrow -- rather should it be a day of happiness -- gladness that after two centuries have rolled by so many of his "children's children" are joined together to honor and remember their emigrant grand parent, William Maltby. For this reason there will be no sort of exercises at the cemetery.

Time will be allowed in Branford for the cousins to visit the Court House and see the signatures of William Maltby and to examine the bronze tablet which marks the spot where stood the house of the Rev. Samuel Russell in which Yale College was founded. This should interest those of us who have Davenport blood in our veins.

Frederick Hull Cogswell wrote "The Foundation of Yale was due to the foresight of John Davenport.

* * In spite of Vavenport's efforts, the project was not carried out during his lifetime. * * * The college library had a unique origin. In 1700, the ten ministers forming the society, met at Branford, and each donated a few volumes, saying as he laid them down, "I give these books for the founding of a college in this colony!" Forty books were given, forming the nuclus of the great University Library."

We hope that either in Branford or at Indian Neck we can have a good photopraph of the cousins taken. It might be a pleasure for those who have kodacs to take them with them as there are many interesting bids to "snap," in and about Branford.

We regret we can not locate exactly the locality of William Maltby's "mansion house" which he mentioned in his will. William Maltby was a large land holder and much of the land in the vicinity of Branford was owned by him. In his inventory he mentions "5 acres of land at Indian Neck." Maltby Cove, which lies to the west of Indian Neck is named for him - this name will be found upon the Government Geodetic charts.

The trolley will again be taken from Branford to Indian Neck, where luncheon will be served, probably at the Montoweese House. We shall try to obtain the use of the drawing-rooms or ball room for the afternoon where the members can hold an indormal reception. The Association will provide a Reunion Registry Book in which descendants will be invited to register. Space will also be reserved for names of guests.

We hope to have some short and interesting addresses and some papers read from absent members.

Should we close then with singing "Auld Lang Syne? and a simple Benediction.

We figure that the cost for trolley fare and luncheon will be about $1.25 per person, and based on this estimate we have issued cards which those desiring to attend will please sign.

The services rendered the Association by Mr. Jay Hayes Maltby are so large that the officers felt some slight return should be made. A formal testimonial of gratitude and the extension of Life Membership to Mr. Maltby and his children was drawn up, signed by all the officers of the Association and sent to Mr. Maltby, who appreciated deeply the courtesy.

It will be noticed that our Membership Roll contains the names of one hundred and fourteen members and that the Treasurer's Report gives dues received from only eighty-nine members. Fourteen members have not yet replied, eight members of Mr. Jay Hayes Maltby's family are Honorary Members and three names of members who joined since Feb. 1st, 1910, are not included in this year's financial report. This explains the seeming descrepancy.

In Booklet No. 2 we mentioned that we had received word that the tombstone of William (1) Maltby and of his third wife, Abigail (Bishop) Maltby were not in the sme position as some ten years ago -- and also that instead of being beside William Maltby's the stone of Mrs. Maltby's was at the foot of his grave.

Early in May the Secretary communicated with Mr. R.H. Maddern, Sexton, in regard to this matter. Mr. Maddern replied that the present management of Center Cemetery knew nothing about the Malbtie stones having been moved. He secured the consent of the Superintendant to having the stone of Abigail Maltbie moved next to William and both set in concrete - the lot to be fraded and seeded to grass and put in good order for the sum of $9.00.

Later we received a voucher from Mr. Valdimar Hammer, Supt., that the work had been well done and he thought we should be pleased with the result.

A word as to Booklet No. 2. At the present writing there are nine copies and they will be sold at the original price, fifty cents per copy. Members wishing extra copies can procure them from Mr. Jay H. Maltby or from Mrs. Clarence Verrill, as long as there any with which to supply the demand.

There are of course, some errors in Booklet No. 2 -- One or two of these we wish to correct. On page 55 several lines were overlooked and instead of reading "descending probably form "'Crowned Heads'" - it should have read just the opposit. The genealogist has not the faintes idea tha the Maltbys descend from Royalty - nor do we wih it. "Crowned Heads" to most of us are far less desirable for ancesors than a good old English "Squire" or "Gentleman's" family. The genealogist's idea is, that we shall find good blood, the family connections getting better the further back we go - for, at the time of the emigration to the New World the majority of the Maltby family were dying out, lands had been confiscated by the Crown, and so on, and probably we shall find a few Knights in the early generations. Highter titles that this we need hardly expect.

The photograph on page 94 is of the Manor Farm, Maltby; and not a Manor House.

Lack of funds is a great hindrance in getting out reports, etc., as we can not afford to have typewritten copy made and it is very troublesome for the printers to try and puzzle out the poor longhand, especially where the names are proper ones.

The officers of the Association join in wihing the members a properous new year - notonly in connection with the Family Association, but in their personal interests.

May most of us clasp hands at the Reunion.
