CF. Daniel Maltby, b. May 19, 1679, Branford, CT. (William 1). d. Dec. 25, 1731, in Branford, New Haven Co. CT. m. Oct. 27, 1702, Branford, New Haven Co. , CT. Esther MOSS b. Jan. 05, 1677/78 in Wallingford, New Haven Co., Ct. d. aft. 1742
"In 1700, Daniel Maltbie joined the Church at Branford." Esther Moss, who was to become his wife, joined the church at the same time. They were married Oct. 27, 1702. (Branford Record). She was the daughter of John Moss (or Morse) and Mary Lothrop.
John Moss was a son of John Moss, New Haven Planters Association, June 4, 1639. Born in England, 1604. Member of 1st General Court, 1639 and 1648, 1649 and 1664. Corporal, Aug. 6, 1642; May, 1678, Commissioner. He was one of the first settlers of Wallingford, and died in 1707, aged 103 years, according to records.
Mary Lothrop was dau. of Samuel Lothrop of New London, and wife Elizabeth Scudder. Samuel was a son of Rev. John Lothrop who was born at Elton, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, in 1584. He was bred at
Oxford, grad. Queen's College, 1605, and mar. Hannah Howse of Eastwell, Co. Kent. Rev. John was son of Thomas Lothrop or Lowthropp, of Cherry Burton, Yorks, and wife Mary; he son of Robert Lowttrop and wife Ellen, and he son of John Lowthrope living in early 16th century at Cherry Burton, a parish four miles from Lowthrop, where in 1548 his name appears on the Yorkshire Subsidy roll.
(Branford Rec., Vol. I, p. 224)
"June 14, 1703. Daniel Maltbie entered his ear mark, which is a crop on the top of both ears, and a hollow crop on the near ear." (Vol. II, p. 249)
"April 12, 1705. At a meeting of the Proprietors in Branford commencing March 25, and closing April 12, 1705, Daniel Maltbie desired them to give him about 2 acres of sedgy land, which was granted."
In 1710, William Maltby left "to my son Daniel, all that house and land where he now lives."
(New Haven Probate Rec., Vol. III, p. 235)
"October, 1710. Daniel Maltby was appointed guardian to Jonathon Maltbie, minor, son of Wm. Maltbie of Branford, deceased."
This half-brother of Daniel was then but twelve years of age. He evidently remained Daniel's ward but a short time, for, (p. 66 New Haven Rec.) we find: "Jonathon Maultbie, Minor, child of Mr. William Maultbie, late of Branford, did appear and made choice of Mr. Edward Barker of Branford to be his guardian."
Jonathon's elder brother (by the same mother) Samuel, married Elizabeth Barker in 1715. Edward Barker was her brother.
(Branford Rec., Vol. I, p. 342)
"Oct. 15, 1711. In staking out lots on Mulliner's Neck, 'D.M.' was to stand for Daniel Maltbie." (Vol. III, p. 81) "Deed to Daniel Maltbie from Allen Ball."
This is interesting as the first Alling Ball was one of the first settlers of New haven. He is thought to be a brother of William Ball of New Haven, considered as possibly father of Col. John Ball, whose dau. Mary Ball was mother of George Washington. The "Tuttle Gen., p. 628," states: "This would verify the tradition, or statement, that John Ball who m. Mary Tuttle was 2nd cousin of Washington's mother."
In a list of "Freemen of Branford, 1714 to 1730," the name of Daniel Maltby is 18th on the list.
(p. 151) "1712-13. Land layed out to the Estate of Wm. Maltbie for Daniel Maltbie, Jan. 23, 1712-13." (p. 219) "Deed from *Edwin Barker to Daniel Maltby in consideration of # 22, 10s." (*This should be Edward Barker).
(p. 221) "1714. Deed to Daniel Maltbie from Caleb Parmerly, March 26, 1714." (Note. The Parmelees were of Guilford, and were from Kent Co., England).
(p. 403) "April 27, 1714. Deed to Daniel Maltby by Noah Rogers." (p. 514) "May 2, 1717. Land layed out to the Estate of Wm. Maltbie, Esqre., on the pitch of Daniel Maltbie."
(Vol. IV, p. 86) "Aug. 4, 1718. Deed of John Howd* to Daniel Maltbie of 3 acres of salt meadow and for another piece of salt meadow."
Note. Benjamin Howd mar. Elizabeth Whitehead. Their daughter, Elizabeth Howd, m. Daniel Hoadley--their son, John Howd* mar. Martha Hoadley and their son Daniel Howd m. in 1739, Martha Maltby. (p. 87) "July 29, 1718. Deed of John Parrish to Daniel Maltbie, of a piece of 5th division land, which he had formerly bought of said Maltbie, for # 28." (Note. Daniel Maltby's dau. Abigail, b. 1714, m. for her 2nd husband, "Ephraim Parish of Cheshire.")
(Vol. IV, Branford Rec.)
"Oct. 26, 1719. (Abstract)" Deed. Samuel and Jonathon Maltbie of Branford, believing our Honrd. Father, Willm Maltbie desired that our brother Daniel Maltbie should have his right in Beaver Swamp, therefore give, etc. all our rights in ye above swamp, 8 acres, etc. (p. 445) Dec. 7, 1722. Deed. "Jonathon Maltbie of Stamford, cordwainer, for # 130, gives his brother, Daniel Maltbie, of Branford, 10 acres of land, being Jonathon's share of the home 1st, given him by his father, William."
Daniel Maltbie died Dec. 25, 1731. Branford Rec. reads: "Daniel Maltbie departed this life, Dec. ye 26, A.D. 1731, in the morning."
The tombstone of Daniel Maltbie was in the Old Burying Ground of Branford, not far from the stones of his father, William, and stepmother, Abigail. It was fairly near the fence, and was sinking and in bad condition. For the Maltby Family Association I had the stone straightened and properly cared for. Also, a cousin went to Branford and photographed the tombstone. Unfortunately this was stolen, and a great loss, as a friend who in later years went to Branford to photograph it, reported the stone no longer existed. She wrote that apparently a street had been out through and land evidently was needed to make it sufficiently broad. Such vandalism in these times is difficult to understand, but I fear many old tombstones have gone, giving way to "improvements." The stone read:
"Mr. Daniel Maltbie
Died Dec. 25, 1731
In 53rd year."
Daniel Maltbie's widow, Esther (Moss) Maltby, mar. June 14, 1739, Deacon Samuel Todd, of New Haven, as his 2nd wife. (Conn. Mar. Branford). The "Tuttle Gen.," p. 325, states: m. "June 20th." New Haven Rec. reads: "Mrs. Esther Maltby of Branford and Mr. Samuel Todd, Jun., m. June 10, 1739."
The will of Daniel Maltbie was found in the Guilford Probate Records, Vol. II, p. 436, by Miss Ethel Lord Scofield, and copied by her, and also the inventory of his estate.
Abstract of the will of Daniel Maltbie. "Last Will of Daniel Maltbie of Branford, in County of New Haven and Colony of Connecticut in New England, Yeoman, made this Twenty Second Day of December, Anno Domini, 1731.

Daniel Maltbie. Signed, Sealed, published and Declared by ye said Daniel Maltbie as his Last will and Testament in presence of us Subscribers.
Josiah Frisbie,
Uzall Wardell,
Samuel Maltbie."
Branford January 8th 1731-2
"Then Personally appeared Capt. Samuel Maltbie, Mr. Uzall Wardell and made Oath that they Saw Mr. Daniel Maltbie, Late of Branford, Dec'd. Sign, Seal and Declare this Instrument to be his Last Will and Testament and that they with Mr. Josiah Frisbie did then Signe thereunto in his presence as witnesses Judging him to be of Sound mind and Clear understanding at ye time thereof.
Before me, Jno. Russell, Jus. Pac.
Note. In Daniel Maltby's will, 1731, there is no mention of Mary, b. 1703, Branford; nor of William, b. 1705, Branford; nor of John, b. 1722. It is evident that Mary left no descendant or Daniel would have mentioned his grandchild. Mary would have been 28 years old in 1731. Deacon Charles Foote in his MS. Genealogy of Maltby (p. 17, Maltby-Morehouse Family) states, "Mary, (dau. of Daniel) m. ---- Goodrich." This may well be the case, as we find: "July 5, 1730, Capt. Malbie's deed from Goodrich. Land in Litchfield from William Goodrich of Copateneck, in ye province of Mass. Bay, Yeoman, lately of Litchfield, to Samuel Maltbie of Branford, of several parcels of land in the Cretch of Bantam or Mill River for # 220. (Litchfield Rec., Vol. I, p. 596)"
Daniel's son William evidently never married; and Daniel's son John would have been but nine years of age in 1731---hence must have died in his boyhood.

Note. Some of the items in the foregoing inventory are worth notice,
viz: "One pair of gloves, three pounds." For those days this sum seems a fabulous amount, especially as "one old bedstead and cord" are valued at six shillings! "One sealskin chair, 9 shillings, is also of interest, suggesting the sealskin had been brought from far northern waters. "One brass Kettle" is valued at seven pounds, while a brass candlestick is marked four shillings. The wooden mortar and pestte should be noted, as a descendant believes he owns this heirloom.
Then we have the "Sword, two pounds and fifteen shillings." This item would seem to indicate that Daniel Maltbie had seen service in the Indian Wars. There was no sword listed in the inventory of his father so I do not think it was inherited.
The "parcel of household stuff prepared for Abigail, 41-14-2" suggests that it was about this time she expected to be married. She would be eighteen in 1731. Deacon Charles Foote in his MS. Maltby Genealogy, states: "Abigail m. (1) John Hall of Cheshire and m. (2) Ephraim Parish of Cheshire, July 19, 1744."
Mr. Donald Lines Jacobus writes that this John Hall could not be John Hall, descendant of John Hall of Wallingford.
The names of Daniel's children have been studied with the hope of establishing if he were son by a first wife of William Maltby or by Hannah Hosmer.
1st child Mary. This was the name of Daniel's grandmother, Mary (Williamson) Maltby. She may have gone to New England with her sons and married again. 2nd child William, named for Daniels's father; 3rd child Daniel, named for himself; 4th child Esther, named for his wife; 5th child Joseph, I do not know for whom named. 6th child Abigail, evidently for his step-mother; 7th child--Daniel again; 8th child Benjamin, I do not know for whom; 9th child Martha, named for Esther's mother, Martha Lothrop; 10th child John, may have been named for Daniel's uncle, John Maltby. Four daughters and none of them named Hannah. Consequently, it seems to me Daniel was not a son of William's wife, Hannah (Hosmer) Willard.
