Selina Maltby Foote wrote: "James Linsley and Sarah Maltby lived on West Street."

_"Cousin" Hannah Linsley of Northford, wrote the compiler:_

"My grandfather," (James Linsley) "moved down here from upper part of Northford, in 1793, and bought this farm from various owners. My father" (John Stephen Linsley) "kept it together and added more, but most of it is already out of the name when I leave it. Northford used to be filled with fine class of people. Those people are dead or moved away."

"Sarah Maltby Linsley was tall, had golden curling hair and large blue eyes. In character, as near perfection as possible. If she had one fault--if she had one--it was being too generous."

(Above was told Hannah, by her mother, Mrs. John Stephen Linsley).

James Linsley was son of Ensign Dan and Anna Lucretia Tyler, dau. of Peter Tyler and Hannah Palmer; he was son of Lieut. Joseph and Lydia Wilford; son of John and Mary Harrison, son of John and Hannah (Griffin) Pond; son of John Linly, New Haven, 1644, and wife Ellen----.
