Maltby Genealogy

American Lineage

CFi. Martha Maltby, b. Sept. 11, 1720 (Branford Rec.) (Daniel 2, Wm. 1).

m. May 9 (or 19), 1739, at Branford, Daniel Howd.

He is called "son of John and Hannah Howd, and was born May 23, 1715."
Under date "1718" there is a "Deed of John Howd to Daniel Maltby, 3 acres." (Branford Rec.)

Note. I think Conn. Genealogies have made an error in calling Daniel Howd a son of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Whitehead) Howd. The fact that Daniel Howd's first child in named "Wilkinson" suggests very strongly that Hannah was a Wilkinson. A Daniel Howd died at Branford in 1756.

CGB. Samuel Maltby, (Junior), b. Oct. 21, 1718 (Branford Rec. Vol. II.) (Samuel 2, Wm. 1). It has always been supposed that his first wife was Abigail Wilford. However, I think it probable that he m. (1) (Boston Rec.), the following: "Intentions of marriage of Samuel Maltby and Anne Dyer, May ?, 1739. They were married June 7, 1739."

Samuel Maltby, Jr., m. May 1, 1755, Mary Fowler, of Guilford. Notes on the ancestry of Abigail Wilford:

She was b. Sept. 17, 1720 at Branford, dau. of Richard and Elizabeth (Pollard) Wilford. Elizabeth Pollard was the dau. of Thomas Pollard of Maidstone, Co., Kent, Eng. Richard Wilford, son of Richard and Anne (Griffith) Wilford of Walton, Surrey, England.

The record of the death of Richard Wilford reads: "Oct. 24, 1734. Mr. Richard Wilford, late of London. Free citizen, a "salter," died in the 81st year of his age." (Branford Rec. "1694") Mrs. Cushman wrote: "The old Wilford house still stands and was pointed out by my Aunt Foote." (N.B. I think this was at Northford.)

The tombstone of Abigail Wilford Maltbie is in the old burying yard at Northford. 

   "Mrs. Abigail
      ye wife of
M. Samuel Maltbie, Jun.
  died June 2nd, 1744
   in her 23rd year."
Mrs. Cushman wrote: "The grave is near that of her father-in-law and I am lead to believe that Capt. Samuel and his son's family had moved to Northford before this time. The old house in which Aunt Ruth now lives, was built by Capt. Samuel or his son Samuel."
