CFH-C. Thaddeus MALTBY, b. Dec. 19, 1756/7; bapt. Jan. 16, 1757,
at Northford, (Benj. 3, Dan. 2, Wm. 1). Rev. Jonathan (4) Maltby,
his younger brother, wrote of him: "He was brought home sick from
the Northern Army and died Dec. 1776."
"There is a Chapter in the Society of the "Children of the
American Revolution" named for the above, called "The Thaddeus Maltby
Society." It was organized in St. Paul, Minnesota, March, 1896, by
Mrs. Frederick Emory Foster, (Martha Maltby Love, descended from
General Isaac Maltby, a younger brother of Thaddeus), President, with
thirty charter members and was the first society of this Order
established in the Northwest.
"Mrs. Foster responded to a call of the D.A.R., State Regent,
and gave a brief sketch of Thaddeus Maltby, the young Revolutionary
hero who gave his life for his country and in who's honor the
Society had been named, as follows:---
"He enlisted at the breaking out of the War of the Revolution,
being then eighteen years of age. For gallant conduct he was soon
made Corporal of his Company. He lived to see some victories, but,
unused to the hardship and privation he fell fatally ill from
exposure at Ticonderoga and was sent home to die.
"Of his brothers, one was a student at Yale." (Rev. Jonathan (4)).
"Another was in the Army," (This must have been Benjamin (4)) "and
his brothers Isaac and Stephen were but eight and six years old,
respectively. No one available to undertake to bring home the dying
soldier.
A young cousin was therefore sent for him and from the Northern
Army to Northford, Connecticut, the long journey was performed slowly
and painfully, both boys riding the same horse. Thaddeus leaning
forward on his cousin's shoulders for support.
Exhausted and spent he reached the pleasant home from which he
had departed but a few months before--strong and brave--dying shortly
after his return, and leaving no descendant to tell of his heroic
sacrifice.
This brief story of a short life was learned from a bundle of
old family letters and the facts since verified from printed records
in the State Library.
Miss Hannah Linsly, great grand-daughter of Elizabeth (Fowler)
Maltby wrote the compiler: "Grandmother used to say that when her
baby died she felt it the saddest thing possible, but it was nothing
to the grief she felt when her son Thaddeus died."
