Jerome B. Maltby7 wrote: "Grandfather's father was Erastus Maltby. He came from Canaan, Conn., I think."

Another descendant writes: "Mother spoke of Erastus, saying he was Grandfather's youngest brother, and he did not have any children by his first wife, but she did not know if he had any by his second wife. If there were any, it must have been after she came to Michigan.
